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…538 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…524 votes -
List of popular places and events
A list of places such as bars, coffee shops, clubs, etc. could be made available to the users for them to post on and review. The posts could also serve a place where people organize events. It could even be linked to an event page. This would encourage users to meet in real life, especially if the life of places are sorted by location, popularity, and activeness.
As a plus, users could also subscribe to places they like, and be notified when there is an event happening there, or when someone posts something on the page of the place.

CIRCLE EXPLORE AREA INSTEAD OF DROPPING PIN
I have explore and I have times where I want to search a very specific area only. So what would be amazing if we can circle the area and it would only bring up profiles that are within your circled area. It’s frustrating when you go to a location and sometimes the person is not even there

Show who’s visiting town and who’s about to visit town.
Let users see who the new guys are in town and allow users to show they’ll be in a certain city so local guys can make advanced arrangements.

Allow landscape view please!! Especially for tablets !!!
Fact is is that it is hard to keep your tablet charged if you want to set it up or a desk or something while you have Grindr open. Since grinder only works in the portrait view. It should be able to work in either portrait or if you rotate 90° landscape as well. They have mentioned this for years and yet never seem to get it accomplished

Allow people to connect others
So, I like to meet up with two guys at once. It would be nice if I could connect them with each other so that I don't have to have one person approve the other and send the other person's pictures, etc... Something that would allow me to connect two people who aren't close enough to each other to show up in their gallery would be most convenient. Thanks

Ability to search a specific geographic area in a map view
You should be able to set an area in a map view and have Grindr show the profiles in that area then have the ability to filter. This would be amazing because then you know the distance is within your specific area.

Add a filter of “positive undetectable”
You currently have “poz” tribe but not a filter for HIV status. As an undetectable guy, it would hugely help me meet others like this by filtering that. Many guys don’t select “poz” as a tribe but do have “positive undetectable” on their profile. This simple change would be amazing! Thank you

Your integration of fake profiles
It has become very obvious that it is your site adding in these profiles to enrich a location or a member. It’s actually very frustrating and annoying because I know that they are not real and I can also tell by the way that you make these profiles up,you have now pushed out even further having them look at our profiles. Is there a way that you can take me off this charade as it’s very transparent and It disappoints me greatly as I have been with a grinder for close to 15 years. No stupid email from go fund…
