Why are people voting for this? Grindr cannot approve s3xually suggestive profile pictures because that would be in violation of App Store and Google Play policies regarding app content...

The App Store's developer policies state, "Apps should not include overtly s3xual or p0rnographic material, defined by Webster’s Dictionary as 'explicit descriptions or displays of s3xual organs or activities intended to stimulate erotic rather than aesthetic or emotional feelings.' Apps with user-generated content or services that end up being used primarily for p0rnographic content do not belong on the App Store and may be removed without notice."

Google Play's developer policies state, "We don't allow apps that contain or promote s3xual content, such as p0rnography, or any content or services intended to be s3xually gratifying. Some examples of common violations include: depictions of nudity in which the subject is nude or minimally clothed, and where the clothing would not be acceptable in an appropriate public context; depictions, animations, or illustrations of s3x acts or s3xually suggestive poses; content that depicts s3xual aids and fetishes."

So stop voting for this! It is out of Grindr's control. They would get kicked off the App Store and Google Play if they allowed users to post erotic or minimally clothed profile pics.

How can Google or Apple store be regulating underwear shots as not family friendly when you can post underwear shots all day on your Instagram thread.....????? Have they threatened to remove Instagram? This a an actual hook up app.

Yeah, the grinder photo thing is just stupid.
Just gotta play their game though.
I've had stuff rejected way tamer than a lot of other photos.
Finally I don't care as other sites are more friendly.

I totally agree that Grindr has a bias when it comes to who can have a profile pic with only underwear on. I reported a pic today and its still up, so I tried posting a pic exactly like the one I reported and it was rejected immediately. WTF!!! DO BETTER GRINDR!!!

Ridiculous...let us wear our **** underwear! If I wanted to I could walk down the street wearing underwear and nothing else and it's totally legal. Why is it forbidden on a gay dating app. Puritan values in 2020...*******.

There are underwear pics allowed yet mine get rejected there's no consistincy on the pics vetting

This is not up to Grindr. These are restrictions imposed on them by Apple and Google as they want all the apps in their respective app stores to be "family friendly".

Allow underwear in picture

This is an Apple/Google issue, unless you want Grindr through out of the App Store/Google Play Store. I'm sure this is due to restrictions they impose (a Grindr mod told me this, but it's probably public domian info).

This is a gay dating app. Scruff's ban on underwear photos is part of an internet wide erasure of gay identity. Grindr can fill that void!

Why are there ******* Puritan rules on a gay dating app(which is 90% used for hookups)??? Let people live

I tried to upload a photo of me shirtless wearing JEANS and I got denied. Meanwhile tons of bulging underwear pics get by? The inconsistency is incredible. Why does Grindr even care if guys post underwear pics- they're all over everyday television, social media, in stores, billboards, and all other forms of advertising and is somehow seen as inappropriate on a dating social networking app? Makes NO sense. The bias in photo approval is appalling.

Really very bad. I saw some profile photos. Some people put nude back photos. You accepted that photo. And one guy full nude top to bottom. He just covered his ****. You people accepted that also. And you people allowed underwear pics some guys put those photos as profile photo. You are allowing all of us photos except me. Is this gay dating app or restricted app .this app used by gays only. And gays only can seen the photos. Not straight, females.or any other celebrities nor media. Check the profile photos of all people in Grindr and tell. How people are uploading nude pics, semi nude pics.

With this being a gay "dating"/definitely just a hook up app, why can't I have a display picture with myself in an unbuttoned shirt? It's quite ridiculous and your monitoring team are taking the Mick. Especially seen as most of us pay for the app!!! Instagram/Facebook/tinder/pof - allow better display pictures. My main problem here is, like I say, I can't have my torso revealed yet I see people in harnesses and pants with knee high socks, or trans, or similar, in lingerie. Your content control needs to be more relaxed as I've seen online, Reddit and other forums, that you're losing business due to unfair and pointless content control rules. It seems that some moderators allow DPs that they like, rather than sticking to a standard rule. #getagrip/weherefordick!

They've already answered for you, last poster: Mods opinions are subjective and that overrides actually ToS; if you're hot, you have the luxury of posting pictures others can't because of said "ToS". Welcome to the gay community....

Totaly agree.. therr are some time pics uploaded like full nudes.. errections.. i wonder how these pics get uploaded.. and not our undi pics even it decent undies

So true. Just my waistband showing and my face showing and i had my pic rejected 3 times in a row. Others have no face and a clear outline of their bulge to the point you can tell they are circumcised and their pic stays up for years.

Yeah, even if the torso has to show

They already allow this if you are hot. So many hot underwear profile pics. If you have a little extra weight, though, the admins will reject it and say it’s against their guidelines.

Allow pictures of you in your underwear without showing your face.
