Dump the foreign bots
It is increasingly useless to even use the app because each time I login within seconds I get 5+ bots or foreign accounts claiming close proximity.
I understand that it would be incredibly difficult to try and keep them in check but I offer up two simple solutions. Since VPNs make it hard to accurately track a user location I would first see if their ip address location changes drastically from time to time then make them first pass a ‘r u human’ test the next time they want to send a message. So people using random vpns can still…

SEARCH BAR
WHO IN THE RIGHT MIND WOULD REMOVE THAT FEATURE??! Grindr is based on Chatting. How do you expect us to find our old/important messages.
I use the search bar to look for keywords like 'Whatsapp' so I could find the guys who gave me their Whatsapp numbers lol. Ugh. I AM SO PISSED.
PLEASE BRING IT BACK.

Disable distance displayed if user hides his distance
If users choose to hide their distance then they should nt be allowed to view the distance of others. What goes around comes around. It should be fair for what ever reason a user wants to hide his distance even though Grindr isn't acurate he should loose the option to view others distance.
Trust works both ways.
Allowing users to hide their distance but view others means they can see without showing their. This is Not equal.72 votes -
STOP CHARGING FOR EVERYTHING
Yall need to stop trying to charge for EVERYTHING. It's ridiculous that you guys try to make a profit out of EVERYTHING. It's frustrating that you limit the number of albums we can view that people literally send to us. It's annoying now that even the "fresh" page is limited to only 9 profiles and every other profile needs a payment to view. You guys used to limit the block feature too and try to charge us for it. RIDICULOUS. And maybe more people would be keen to join your membership of it didn't cost so much?? Charge way less,…

Grifters
Too many fake accounts are allowed to send messages from hundreds of miles away.
Allow a setting for no messages from X number of miles, or automatically flag accounts that send out 30 messages in 30 minutes, or flag accounts that get three blocks on the day they are created.

Allow us to click & see the profile of someone in recently viewed.
Allow us to click & see the profile of someone in recently viewed. i get not being able to see the profile over a certain number, that was never a problem, but suddenly now we can't see the profile of someone who looked at us "right now." i get that you want people to pay for things, but this is just a ridiculous change. i pay for the first tier, and am considering canceling as i will not upgrade just to be able to see who viewed me!

Verified profile option
Allow users optionally to verify their profile and show that on their profile. As tinder and other apps do. That will reduce catfishing and will create safer place for people to engage.
Thank you

Ethnicity Filter
As a bipoc living in a very white and segregated city where theres a problem with white guys not being into bipoc guys Id love to have this back so I can see only other bipoc guys and not waste my time with "woke" white gays who wont give bipoc guys second look.

These “no men” posts
As a gay user, I love that Grindr promotes a safe space for all… However, the amount of straight men on this app looking for “not men” is fckng ridiculous at this point. Please find a way for us to filter them, they really should be on they’re own app as they’re not gay but if you want to welcome them to our safe space please create a filter.

Allow nude profile pics with paid subscription
The free app has to be G rated, but when you pay a monthly fee it should be M rated w/nude profile pics. BC in reality this is a GAY HOOKUP SEX SITE! Everyone usually shares the same X pics anyway

Only fans, spam, filters, glitches
I subscribe to unlimited yet it’s getting harder and harder to find my type. Only fans and spams wanting me to go to sex websites are constantly in my messages and taps! People who I’m not interested in are tapping and messaging me. And the glitches in messaging and “online people” are ridiculous. Dating apps are suppose to filter what you are into yet Grindr wants to show u everyone. That’s not being inclusive at all! Profiles that say not into MEN! Then why are they on my grid! All you guys care about is money. I’m done subscribing enough…

Noisy ads
Mute all ads!
I get it…free usage means ads. But that Evony ad echoes across the hills! I can’t always keep my sound off, and then my location is revealed to cock hounds in close range when I’m subtly checking my messages to confirm a railing appointment. The grunting men sound effects aren’t exactly subtle, either. Apply your commitment to discretion to your ads, and problem will be solved! …almost. Get rid of ads. But then capitalism fails, and then they start rounding up the gays.
Ads are fine. Silent ads.
Thanks.

Remove Women
Remove women from the app...the gender option. It's insulting AF. Straight people invading gay spaces is not cool; you are taking diversity a bit too far.

ADS
I'm sick and tired of having to fight with my phone to get out of ads on this piece of crap app. Esp that stupid booking ad. Its ridiculous. You pick or exit a profile or chat and theres at least 4 or 5 pop ups from ads you have to x and are still taken to the app store. Grindr you are a shell of your former glory.
Shame on you.

MAJOR SECURITY RISK
Grindr Is a major security risk to the safeness of users and people within the community. Ever since I started using the app men have been using my images as their profile pictures to both sell drugs and suggest sexual activity. Sometimes catfishing young men and luring them to locations. I believe the only way the company can come together to solve this issue is to REQUIRE a MANDATORY security process for anyone using face picture images. I believe if you want to upload face pics to the app you must confirm your identity with a legal ID card. Men…

Stop unwanted spam messages from transgender and only fans members
I would like to have a feature that can stop all messages from people over a specific distance from my current location. This would certainly help to limit the spam from transgender and only fans members that only message me for the purposes of subscribing to their page or advertise their services and content. It has become an extremely undesirable norm on Grindr and for the amount of money we pay each month there should be some sort of way to monitor this and prevent it from happening so frequently and over and over with different profiles of the same…

Multi Block
Whoever runs this app continues to remove filters. So add one where we can multi select profiles and block a bunch at the same time. I block 15 to 20 profiles a day because I’m not interested in women.

Fake profiles
Grindr is flooded with fake profiles. I see dozens per day. There's a plethora of fake trans profiles that try to lure you to Telegram. Many OF 'creators', but I suspect also fake profiles put there by grindr itself to give the impression there are more people online. Put in more safety guards to prevent bot profiles so I don't get approached repeatedly by fake accounts. I think almost everyone on this app has been approached by a fake 'Hamza from Dubai' or a trans person that wants to do everything if you just go to her Telegram. Also: I'm…
