Verifying every user when they first sign up- too many profiles with NO pictures!
For verification purposes. Like tinder and MOST other dating/hookup apps have some sort of photo verification system to prove that it’s actually who you say you are. I am SO SICK OF ALL THESE USERS ON GRINDR WITH NO PHOTOS! in my opinion, I think it should be a requirement that if you want to be on Grindr then you need to have a clear, visible unaltered face picture of what you look like, so other members can see who all is in the room AND it’s especially annoying when those exact people with no pictures on their profile go…

Video as a profile pic. Upload video for sharing
Allow users to upload a video as their profile pic just like one can post on Instagram. Also allow users to send videos to each other either as permanent or ephemeral media

Less intrusive ads
Currently, the ads are very intrusive, which hinders a good browsing experience. If I compare Grindr with Scruff, Scruff is definitely better because it has a better user experience since its ads are located in a specific section.

Bring back the favorites tab
Every time I press my favorites now as a filter it doesn’t load the profiles, I have to close and reopen the app and when eventually it shows my favorites, the profile pictures don’t appear. Thus it’s super buggy and very difficult to use

Free Boost with Unlimited
With the cost of your Unlimited Membership we should get 1(one) free daily Boost and that’s it. No rollovers, just opportunity a day. I would definitely consider subscribing to a yearly subscription.

Favorite with notes search disappeared
RESTORE FAVORITE NOTE SEARCHES - which mysteriously disappeared late day March 3, 2023.
FIX FAVORITES WITH NOTES FILTER - don’t know if this is a new filter or existing, but IT DOES NOT WORK!
Why removes fav note searches? If one has dozens of favorites and some of the notes are location based, what good are notes if you cannot identify the 20 that are in DC or Atlanta or Naples?
And to have a filter that is at least supposed to weed out favorite profiles with notes from the rest, but doesn’t work at all is just adding insult…

Restore the original ethnicity filter option back.
I'm a white male and I live in a area that there's very little to none diversity. Before the ethnicity filter got removed, it made it a lot more easier to find different people of race and color but since it's removal, it's so hard to find them anymore. It would make it so much more better if the filter got restored back to it's former glory and I could meet different people

More character spaces and more
Need more space on bio, not being able to put there what I need to leads to unwanted and unnecessary contact, 255 characters is nothing, I need about 800-1000 characters and same for display name.
We should be able to send mobile numbers via chat too, I've noticed I can't and we are all adults.

Delete all messages select all option
There is no option to select all or delete all messages . I have to individually select each message and delete. There should be a select all option to delete all messages and free up space for a clutter free experience.

Location accuracy
So…we should be able to set a distance on how far we’re looking for hookups. I search in the “explore” section in an area 5 miles from my house and Grindr constantly insists that profiles 100-500 miles away is “nearby”. If I search for profiles in Austin, TX it doesn’t make sense to show me profiles from Dallas, TX. That’s NOT nearby. That’s a 3-4 hour difference. Location accuracy NEEDS to be updated.

Enable block option
Block option was far more better than hide option. People can approach even after hiding their profiles.
If we have chatted with someone, and we block them, may the chats be visible but enable an option that both the people can't text eachothers.55 votes -

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.

Auto ad opening
Remove the feature that auto-opens ads. This feature has proven to be an extremely annoying. I understand having ads allows grindr to be free, but tbh I get more frustrated at the app, than people sending nudes to start a conversation.

All the girls. This is a gay app. Why are so many girls on Grindr? Can there not be a separate app or even a broad filter? pun intended.
Have a filter available to everyone which can actively keep girls from showing up near me. I don’t pay for unlimited or xtra and half of my available slots of filled up with girls or boys dressed like girls. This is a gay service. I don’t want to see all these girls on there. Most of them are scary looking and it’s very off putting. Either make a different site/app for t-girls and boys interested in them, provide some kind of filter to screen them from view, or something because I am so over it.

Make Grindr Free Again
We can only talk to 9 ppl on the fresh page & only about 15 on the normal page. Anyone else you have to pay to talk to them. This rolled out within the last week for me we use to able to have a huge range before you did have to pay. This is absurd and an attack on LGBTQ. As lonely as you can be in this community (speaking for closeted,DL,etc) grindr is suppose to be a space to come together and connect with your community, how DARE you try to monetize off that and making ppl feel…
