I definitely agree with this. I don't know what people gain from taps but if you're interested in someone on the app, then how about you have some guts and fire up a conversation with that person. How is sending someone hi or hey awkward to you instead of tapping them? This is a response to Dita and everyone else who shares this level of idiocy. People don't get offended by taps but the majority of people who use the tap feature often do it because they don't know how to start up a conversation with words most of the time, or it could be a scammer/bot. It's a passive approach, waste of a function, and I don't mind it disappearing nor do I mind it staying. It's a part of the app so I'll deal with it maturely. Don't get all in your feelings because your taps get ignored lol. There is a reason why most taps get ignored and it just so happens to be that most people who use that function are the WORST when it comes to conversing, they have very basic personalities, love disappearing after like a few minutes into the conversation, and again they could be a scammer/bot. If all you do is tap and leave it at that, then it is YOU who has no business trying to date or hookup on Grindr. Get your facts straight so you don't make yourself sound so ridiculous next time. Thank you! 😊

I would disagree. Taps are the manner of bookmarking profiles and allowing profiles to communicate in the free version if not at the top of the list. This would greatly reduce the usability of the app. Its also part of how the app was designed- if you don't like taps, you're more than welcome to use a different app.

There should be a setting to disable taps. If a used does not want to receive taps, the tap button will not appear in their profile

I get taps everyday from random guys that I know are computer generated. They are always much cuter than the average guy. With no location or stats. This is a problem that for well over a year, grindr has not been able to address. Therefore I think it would be great if grindr users could just disable taps all together. The sender could receive a reply saying ' this user has disabled taps on their account' then they can send a direct message like a real man.

You can already opt out of taps.

If receiving a “Tap” from someone bothers/offends you so much I’m afraid making a suggestion to Grindr won’t help. No forget suggestions and instead seek out some mental assistance because anyone that’s so fragile they can’t figure out how to either NOT RESPOND or take it complimentary... well let’s just say you’ve no business trying to date or hookup

This is an annoying feature, as most all taps are from bots and fake profiles.
GET RID OF THIS FEATURE PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

certainly don't think that taps are considered lazy I just think it's kind of like a smile across the room just to see if the person is interested rather than a full-on talking to them and didn't get blown out the water

99% of the time those who tap never send even a one word message. It’s annoying and stupid as a feature. Either remove it or let us turn it off.

WAY TOO MANY SPAM TAPS! Allow paying customers to turn off taps.

Taps are honestly beyond annoying and I would never be interested in someone who would rather tap you and say absolutely nothing then just sending a quick hi

I have no problem with them, it's like tapping someone on the shoulder, saying hello at a bar, or in this context saying "I'm interested" giving the other person the freedom to respond or not. I've had several great connections because of them. If you don't want them just disable the notification problem solved.

theres ready a feature to do that

As a paid member I would like to be able to block taps .

The tap feature is one of the most annoying features Grindr has to offer. If you don’t have the balls to message me and get to know me then you don’t get to see my balls. Very simple concept.

Its so annoying

#NOTAPS

Your can do this

Need to get rid of TAP feature, it's very annoying. Sending messages goes further then taps

I don't want to be tag or copy
