Verifying Age
Grindrs way of verifying age is too easy to manipulate.
Too many 17 and under ages on the app putting 18 and older users at severe risk.You need to upgrade to a valid state ID photo of a license for the system to "OK"
There are too many minors who claim 18 to 22 years of age on the app.

Photo Verification
So many scammers nowadays, they will started with a ‘hi’ and ask our preferences (boyfriend or friend), then they will tell that it’s not convenient to talk through this app. I don’t know what they are up to, but it’s getting annoying and very exhausting. I am trying to find the real ones here, not a scammers. Please do some kind of verification to prove that the owner of the account is the real person and not a scammer, maybe you can start with a ‘photo verification’, to check if the person is real or not. Or maybe any other…

„Member since“
Introducing an ultra simple feature showing how long a user has been Grindr member helps a lot not falling into fake profiles since those are ver commonly very freshly created profiles!! It would be wonderful if you could insert this info „Member since xxxxx“ in everyone‘s profiles!

Verification of any STD or HIV status mandatory
You guys should verify users' STD or HIV status by getting their report in pdf or whatever format.It will be very important for the users health as well as society.And also we can have authenticated partners who does not make random fake profiles by matching their profile data from backend (set limit to 2-3 profiles per person).

The app needs to work on blocking minors.
Recently a friend of mine was arrested for meeting a guy he met on your app. The guy turned out to be underage so my friend is facing jail time for unknowingly having sex with an underage person. The guy lied about his age on your app. I believe a copy of a drivers license or id should have to be scanned as authorization of proof of age. This might deter people from lying about their age.

Set privacy settings once.. not every time I start the app!
The new privacy setting screen that pops up on every start of the app is too much! Set it once, or add a link in iOS settings screen, but not every time.

Make the received pictures viewable by tapping
Please consider making it so that we don't have to see received pictures unless we want to. This feature would be like Instagram's photo sent in DM, you would have to tap it to see. It doesn't have to be a disappearing picture on Gridnr, meaning once you view it, it would still remain in the chat. But please consider making it so that one would have to tap the message to see the picture, like "Picture received. Tap to view." This way a lot of us would be spared from having to see d*ck picks and whatnot on a…

Be able to speak with Grindr Reps
2 weeks ago another person verbally attacked me saying I was going to get what I deserved “you old fucking faggot”! Then he said “you’re a dead man”. He was 4 miles away and his profile header was J and he was 24 I think. I think he blocked me because he and the comments disappeared. Last week he basically did the same thing saying I thought I was better than everyone, would get what I deserved and to enjoy my awakening. These are very serious crimes- hate crime, death threat, stalking,,etc. I reported it to you but have not…

Option to Disable Video chat requests
Coz people don't have the decency to ask if it is okay to see you at their whim.
Repeated requests are annoying.12 votes -
Translate Profile Descriptions
Profiles of people travelling have to be duplicated in different languages - it would be better to have a translate feature for people to translate profiles into their native language.
This is especially useful in countries where screenshots cannot be taken for use in translation apps.

Try telling people why they got banned
Literally, unconsensual nudes are an undying mould on the app with entitled, creepy cis men always throwing pictures of their dicks at people who explicitly state they don't want photos. I can almost guarantee half the people complaining about getting banned are one of the thousand faceless profiles sending unwanted nudes. Give repeat offenders a pop up saying "did you ask?" Before they're allowed to send a photo. If y'all can't take the numerous ways Grindr has given you leeway for just not respecting the people you're trying to fuck, given you gentle and easy ways to hear that we…

Herpes status in profile
Herpes is estimated to be carried by around 20% of adults. Surely that percentage is even higher amongst Grindr users. As with HIV, once a person contracts herpes, its presence is permanent. Grindr should include a place for herpes status in profiles as it does with HIV to increase safety and awareness amongst users.

HPV Vaccine Status
Add HPV vaccine (eg., Gardasil) as an option under “Vaccinated for” in user profiles along with Mpox, Covid, and Meningitis. May consider adding Hepatitis A and B vaccines too (eg., Twinrix).

Ban Appeals
There needs to be a better way about appealing bans. You should tell the user why they have been banned.
I’ve just received a ban and I’ve been on gridnr for over 10 years on/off and I’ve never done anything. I’ve contacted Grindr regarding the only very small possibility (created another account) and I’ve received no response. That was two days ago. There needs to be a better way of contacting Grindr directly?

Notes on profile without making favourite
We should be able to add notes on a profile without adding the profile to our favourites. This helps to identify profile and add notes that may be critical to 'finding your type' and safety without adding the said profile to favourites.
