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.

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.

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…

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…

Fake profiles
Get your IT department to get rid of all the fake profiles currently plaguing Grindr. I have just blocked about 7 located nearby. It doesn't matter how many times I block these fake profiles they keep reappearing. Please do something about this.

Sexual orientation options/filters
I have notice recently an incredible amount of accounts of “straight men” and “dl men” seeking trans people as well as a lot of trans people in the app. If I have a free account I have a limited amount of choices already, and if from those choices almost 50% (if not more) are of people that have no interest in me or me in them at all, that leaves me with very little to choose from. Why not create a choice for people to view only trans people or advertise only to trans, straight, dl, etc? Grindr is a…

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.

Get rid of the Madonna
If I’m paying for unlimited, there’s no reason I should have Madonna ads plastered all over my page, this is stupid and annoying. If I have to pay this much for a service that barely works the way it is I should definitely not have to have some stupid ad for some old washed up singer on my page!

Showing profiles nearby that are 40+ miles away
Randomly, peppered throughout my "nearby" feed are profiles that are, in fact, NOT nearby....by any stretch. There are regularly profiles that are 40+ miles away, right next to profiles that are 3 miles away, 10 miles away, some that are less than 1 mile away.

Filter trans women or make a separate app
Few people genuinely have anything agains trans people. Gay men have a right to only see men on the app SHOULD THEY WANT TO.
In 2017/18 expanding trans and simultaneously taking away the trans filter in the name of ‘InCluSIon’ is a sick joke and has been very counter productive. Instead plenty of people and more resent trans women if anything imo.Gay men’s preferences have nothing to do with Trans Women. There are too many now. The right thing to do for all parties is to make a separate app for them.
I personally hope Grindr make losses as…

Allow to block back
There should be allowance for users who have been blocked by someone the same privilege to block them back. As it is if someone blocks you they completely dissapear. It happens occasionally that I tee up a meeting, After agreeing on a time and place I then take about 1.5 hours getting dressed up and ready, the meeting time has come and gone, I log back in to find the user has blocked me, and I'm unable to block him back, which leaves the person who got blocked vunerable to this kind of behaviour from the same person again and…

Locked Photos Folder
Add an option for a folder with private photos that we can share with other profiles we choose with the ability to also unshare. It gets tiring sending multiple photos to every other person you talk to.

Needs ethnicity filter as originally designed
As of December 1 I stopped paying for Grindr. I noticed all these ads popping up and the app is decidedly worse without paying for it. However, I wont give them another cent and ignoring things that we want and things that help us as the app was originally designed to do. Believe it or not it was better when it first came out. I don’t see any improvements worth paying for especially removing the ethnicity filter, which is my single most important reason for deleting my subscription.

Fix Block Feature!
The Block Feature not working has become a safety issue that Grindr is ignoring. I will never again pay to use this app for this reason! There is simply no excuse for this. Having to block the same people 10x a day is ludicrous and proves that Grindr doesn't really care about user safety or security as this has been an open issue FOREVER!

Verification
You guys need to include a verification for new and already exisiting profile with someone's ID, there is to many underage people and people using fake profiles for either baiting or scams
