Not having ads with sound
I get it, Grindr needs ad revenue but ads which randomly pop up and start blaring loud noises and sounds? Really Grindr? Is it really such a hard concept to understand we don’t want to have to silence our phones or risk having everyone in the building hear the ads?

Stop automatic refreshing
Sometimes when I return to the thumbnail feed after viewing a profile or using another app, I see a guy that I want to message, but then the feed automatically refreshes and the guy disappears :( Sometimes, if I am lucky I can find him again after searching carefully, but most of the time he is completely lost. This has caused me SO much frustration. PLEASE end this!
(A possible alternative to automatic refreshing would be to make a 'refresh' icon hover at the top of the feed/screen when it comes time to refresh, but allow us USERS to click…750 votes -

Destigmatize sex work on the app
Gay men in the US and around the world have been disenfranchised at varying degrees due to homophobia and other social injustices. Many gay men (especially youth) are struggling to survive and/or may be at constant risk of homelessness. Stop shaming the guys who seek "gen" men, and start facilitating connections between guys who need help and guys who CAN help. After all, NO man is an island, and ALL relationships are essentially an exchange of personal resources, in one way or another.
Sex workers and masseurs provide comfort, pleasure, and basic human contact to those who need it. Their…743 votes -

Delivery & read receipt reliability improvements
Fix the message delivery status and read receipt bugs. The message status should update to "Delivered" once it has been delivered, and to "Read" once it's been opened.
The status of a sent message is supposed to change from Sent to Delivered if the recipient has the app open, but many times I’ve seen people online even hours or days later, and my message still shows as Sent, leading me to assume they haven’t got it. So I send another message, which led to one guy telling me I’m impatient. This bug, combined with Grindr often losing messages altogether, keeps…603 votes -
Ability to disable account and reenable account rather then deleting account
When taking a break from Grindr all I can do is delete account. Would be great if I could just hide account for a while and just enable when I come back. I had a lot of drama restoring subscription last time I removed my account.

More accurate online status - Go offline when closing the app
After closing the app, the profile remains online for 10 minutes. It is misleading. People think that you are rude for not answering, when in reality you are not online.

location/distance with message
If someone messages you, be able to see distance even if they have location setting off, but perhaps system will not allow over-ride of settings. I think some people are not even aware that location setting us off.
Also, as one person suggested, show direction of distance, whether short or long.81 votes -
Relocate Location Button
Maybe move the ‘location button’ away from the send button to avoid fat fingers from accidentally sending locations to unwanted recipients.
