How do you disable the tap feature? It is being used by spammers and its annoying that they are practically the only one using. There should be an option to disable it

If I’m going to be paying for Xtra, then you better be getting rid of Taps! This is a feature I do not want and if you could even just limit it to free users and have Xtra users turn it off, that would be helpful.

TAPS have become a nuisance. The majority are BOTS (which I still don't know the reason for those and what their agenda is). I know some people use them because they are "shy" I suppose, but if they had to just say "hello" and wait for a response, that would be better than a TAP. I do not even answer TAPS. I delete them ALL. Maybe have the option for users to turn that off if you can't just do away with them completely. Thank you.

I receive dozens of Spam taps a day on my XTRA account. Can you add the option to disable the Tap feature

Taps must be system generated and not sent by an individual so it’s a waste of time. I’m inclined to think that taps are used to force people to log in to see what message they received only to find it was a tap from wherever. There’s a major heat wave everywhere and almost every tap I’m receiving has people wearing winter jackets with hoods and scarfs on. There’s no way these are legit people tapping me and they ALWAYS are “offline”. If they’re offline, how are they sending them therefore I believe I’m right when I say they’re system generated possibly by Grindr again so you log in. This shows more users logged in and perfect for advertising high numbers of people logged in when it’s actually a highly inaccurate number to advertise.

If you can not stop continuous taps from scammers I will cancel my subscription.

Taps are pointless and a nuisance. The only users who use them are bots and catfish and those too lazy to actually start a conversation. If they were made optional, it would improve your application.

Taps are indeed pointless and apparently easy for bot accounts to generate activity.

The only accounts that tap me are bots and profiles with no posted photo-- neither of which interest me.

Disable taps

It's a waste of time, get to the point and man up with a hello and face pictures.

End the **** taps, every one is a fake profile trying to **** us.

Taps should enabled or disabled by XTRA account owners. I pay money I deserve more features.

If so many users do not like the tap feature why even have it? It also seems to give the guys another thing to complain about. I recommend installing an anonymous chat room feature so guys could talk openly about various topics.

Please make a way to block taps. There are so many automated bots from fake offline profiles each day, that blocking taps would be beneficial.

Tap feature has made Grindr almost unusable. Constant spam. Unless something can be done about it, we are all going to start fleeing the app.

Turn off taps

TAPS IS A SCAM, EVERY GUY SAME SCRIPTS LEAD TO NOTHING..SHAM, GET RID OF IT

Well, not everyone of us likes taps. They are annoying and there would be great if there was an option for us to deactivate them since we dont like them.

Taps, almost all of which seem to be fake, scams waste my time and greatly diminish the value of Grindr. Let us turn Taps off if we wish.

There's nothing wrong with taps. When someone nods at you and smiles at a bar or event and waits to see whether the greeting is returned before proceeding, do you berate or ignore that person for having the gall not to march right up to your face and launch into the beginning of a conversation? It's funny that on Scruff I never see anyone criticize real people for woofing.

HOWEVER the problem on Grindr is that, as others have noted, the overwhelming majority of taps are fake anyway. Why Grindr can't control the spam/scams (an endless stream of profiles featuring the phrase "for the rest of my life") when Scruff has these well under control is mystifying. Giving their failure to do so, they should let us block taps. And I see this idea was floated a year ago, but they haven't implemented it yet.
