As someone who had their life turned upside down from a very problematic person who used Grindr (in combination with any other location based app) as the main tool to persecute and abuse my rights, gather evidence, jump to conclusions and spread misinformation amongst many other tactics who's sole purpose was to be punitive, I can categorically say this is the worst idea in the world. If you have a favourite who you have chat based relationship with and you want to talk to them when you are not on the app at the same time as them, rather than getting a notification to tell you when they are available on this app specifically, you should reach out to them on a more appropriate channel, there is vast array of different methods of communication that you could use to contact them at anytime. Christ, writing them a letter would actually be more appropriate. If the only way you have to communicate to them is through here, then you have to ask yourself am I familiar with this person enough to warrant messaging them the second they jump online on an app where they are predominantly going to be looking for a hookup? More people would use this feature as a tool to monitor people secretively or procedurally rather than socially.

that sounds like a great way for stalkers to keep tabs on people without them knowing

When one of your favorite//starred person goes online, send a notification stating that. Can turn on and off for each profile, of course.

How can I delete favourites? Not saying they're not nice guys, just want to delete them from my favourites as they've not responded

Lol why so that you can spam them when they don’t answer you message? You’d get a notification if they answered anyway right???

Sounds like a great way to stalk someone, as if this app doesn’t make it easy enough.
Never no and ******* please.

Just save them as your favorites and when you check your favorites section select "online" on the search modifications

I think this is a little too stalker like. Unless it is an opt in/out feature, i would not like this. And, I am a paying subscriber.

So long as the prey of the stalker can ghost the sneaky predator and blend in to the background wait... serious question can this help some folks connect and lessen the stalker feel if the stalkee is notified that he has a stalker a stalking his pretty cool (only 25% true) profile. So our victim has been notified that they are not so carefree to **** on others anymore, anyone he ***** on now could be better for the attention! What’s a fellow to do? Find out who is this mysterious guy who wants to wear his skin( he better not be skinner in his slaughtered skin-crazy thoughts when your pretty and someone is stalking you.. so now I’m pretty and interesting. Grinder then every 12-24 hours gives the scaredy-cat but down with intricate details about the stalker. As clues go, this is the weak Part of my improvement to a chase away some folks who don’t want some rando you have already been nice guy aand explaind why I’m not interested move on good day.. now we give that goal focused creeper yet another tool useful for challenge breaking as well as turning a decent fella mean? Sadly we’re all guilty of both sides.. and the clues can do a little to help convince some that a lot more of us read and look for profiles with info and pics to help us make decisions about what we are looking for now and then in the future. the clues to who has favorited my profile are drawn from the profile, pics on profile, location and possibly other sources somecomrade at grinder hq gets paid to be thinking about. Anyway if the profile is not filled out the only info to mine the clues from is the profile name.. so you will be an easy bust of a stalker guess what, now you can go add some more fun and exciting things to your name and recruit some help with the game of stalking.?it should have cool little prizes for locationsand reward is for being a little creepy while putting yourself out there and just maybe those mean girls might see the pretty in them is fleeting and there are no losers when people say kind things to each other. I apologize for the storyline Style I presented the cons and pros of turning the app a little on its head and showing doing creepy things to romance a crush will only work in Disney cartoons. Best idea is for creepy people to find a sheltered friend who is looking for a skilled creepy person who can toughen the little angel up.. lol.. this could be better for the fun and engagement of all

Like the idea but I'd include the ability to opt out of it. I.e. "Don't include me in Favorite notifications" or alternatively you can customise it by profile, I.e. "Allow this person to be notified when I come online" (which may require something like a mutual favorite function)

PLEASE NO. The 'favourite' section is a tool of choice for creepers and stalkers. Don't make it easier for them please.

Not a good idea, this is more like "let me know when one of my favourites are online so I can stalk them". Ive been favourited before by people im not interested in, I know this because ive recieved messages from people hours or even a day after ive been offline. It just gives the creeps another avenue to stalk you without you knowing.
