   If you’ve noticed a dip in quality lately, you’re definitely not alone. The consensus among users in 2026 is that Grindr is currently suffering from a severe case of "enshittification"—a tech term for when a platform sacrifices user experience to maximize profit for shareholders.
   Here is the breakdown of why the app feels "bad" right now:
   1. The "Paywalling" of Basic Features
   Grindr has aggressively moved features that used to be free (or cheap) behind steep subscription tiers. 
   • The "Edge" Tier: A new premium subscription costing up to $500 per month has been introduced, offering AI-powered "chat insights."
   • Restricted Visibility: Many users report that the "Free" version now limits the grid to a very small number of people, essentially forcing you to pay just to see who is actually nearby.
   • Hostile Ads: Free users are now subjected to 30-to-60-second unskippable video ads, sometimes including "mini-games" that must be completed before you can return to your chats. 
   2. The Bot and Scam Epidemic
   The app is currently overrun by automated accounts. Common issues include: 
   • "Sugar Daddy" Scams: Accounts offering weekly allowances that lead to "sextortion" or bank fraud. 
   • Photo Theft: Bots using stolen Instagram photos to lure users into clicking external links.
   • Identity Harvesting: Scammers who try to move you to WhatsApp or Telegram immediately to steal personal data. 
   3. Safety and Privacy Concerns
   Grindr has faced significant legal and social backlash recently:
   • Data Breaches: In 2024 and 2025, the app faced massive class-action lawsuits in the UK and Europe over the alleged mishandling of sensitive data, including users' HIV status and sexual health information. 
   • Toxic Culture: Despite "Kindr" initiatives, users still report high levels of "no-picture" entitlement, ghosting, and "normative" body standards that make the environment feel hostile rather than communal. 
   4. Technical "Bloat"
   Instead of fixing bugs or improving the interface, the developers have pivoted to AI features:
   • AI Wingman: Features like "Chat Summaries" and "Personalized Recommendations" are being pushed, but many users feel these are unnecessary distractions from the app's core purpose: meeting people.
   • Performance Issues: The heavy load of ads and AI tracking has made the app prone to lagging, crashing, and draining battery life faster than previous versions.

3. Make a trans women app ONLY, NOT GRINDR

   I see a lot of trans women, and straights, Grindr used to be an only gay app, now “straights” and women, take to much space on the grid, I miss the old days, when Grindr used to be only for gay men, bi men, and trans men, it used to be only men, maybe feminine guys but not women

4. Ethnicity

   I am European, majored in Sociology, and feel strongly that “white” is a race… not an ethnicity. European should be added as an option. Bumble added European and “Jewish” as options. Both should be added to Grindr as well. Thank you.

9. Less adds & more words allowed in "what are you looking for ?" Part of profiles

   So the pop up adds are getting insane on Grindr free l often have to logg off and logg back in 5-6 times in a 20 min use span.l have honestly not used it in a month allmost and have started to use the app less over the last 5 months. I understand Grindr is doing this with on purpose to get people to purchase a paid Subscription but ......it's just driving many away l know many guys who say they are searching for other apps because the adds are ruining it all and they have no intention to buy a membership. At this point l wouldn't pay for Grindr ither (esspecly being l am working only PT at the moment.)l give this app 2 stars. About a year and a half ago l would have given it 4!! So cute down on the mother F**king pop up Adds. Another issue l have is the "About me "section in our profiles. It's annoying that your app only will allow 255 characters ( which includes spaces in between words). This can make it hard for those of us who need to get descriptive in what we are looking for. The App should allow 255 COMPLETE words and not restrict our "about me-what am l looking for " section to just letters ,spaces and symbols and Emojis ,if you must give us at least 355-415 maximum please!!! Just improve your app and make it more user friendly again or make your rates more affordable for a paid subscription. The whole thing that makes your app appealing is it's free and easy to use you guys are wrecking that model.

12. Longer bio

    I have been using Grindr for about 15 years now and have repeatedly requested that the “about me” or “bio” section needs to be much MUCH longer. Again, other apps like scruff have soooo many sections with a shit load of info you can input. I know full well that literally thousands of members have requested this multiple times. Also, STOP increasing the monthly subscription without updating the app and adding new features and especially without updating or advising the customer. I remember when the monthly subscription for Xtra was a simple £7.99 per month. Now you’re charging £8.99 per WEEK!! It’s disgusting and outrageous doing that. You offer NOTHING for long time loyal paid members, but new members are offered free subs etc. You need to start rewarding those that have stuck by you developers since day one and helped make Grindr what it is today. Scruff offers so much for free AND every couple of months they give full app access for a whole weekend. What is it you actually give out to your loyal customer base? Also with scruff much of the stuff you guys charge for with either Xtra or Unltd is actually included with their FREE basic account. Please please step things up. Stop being so concerned with lining your pockets and respect those of us that helped put that money in your pockets to begin with!!! Thank you!!

13. Stop ads from interrupting and deleting messages being typed

    Stop ads from interrupting and deleting the message while a message is being typed - incredibly frustrating to have a couple sentences wiped just to get an ad, doubly annoying. At least wait until that message is sent, if you have to!

14. Have a "match" function

    It would be nice to have a "match" function where you could press a button when you like someone and if they press the same button for you you'd get a notification and they'd be put in a specific category. A bit like the "Would you meet" function on Scruff.

16. Include a view option to exclude people without a photo.

    Grinder should have a view option that allows us to hide people without photos. When I go online sometimes 50% of the profiles I can access don’t have photos which is a red flag for me. Without a photo I’m not interested. We have no idea who these people are and I’m sure if they don’t have a photo they aren’t paying for the app.

18. Prostitutes, fake accounts, and sugar dadddies

    How about getting rid of advocating for the shareholders and actually opening up the grid range on the amount of real live people you can actually encounter. I've never been so bombarded with so many trolling accounts l trying to take me to their lame porn site or trying to take care of me with money I'm never gonv to receive. This app is super sloppy and super lazy
