Hey

Picture verification

My feature request is to have something like Snapchat where live pictures sent directly from the camera to the app appear differently than pics sent that were saved on the senders device. This will stop people with fake profiles using pictures that are not them. I feel I am being stalked by someone using fake profiles I think my request would stop this. This would also use way less data than video chat

In several other apps you have to take a selfie with a particular expression or hand gesture for verification purposes. So that the team managing the app are able to verify that you are who you say you are...this photo is not publicly available, but cuts down on bots, fake profiles & scams.

If this isn't dealt with soon, I will not be renewing my membership & delete my Grindr account.

Last year (2018) I was a victim of financial impersonation & fraud which they traced back to someone on Grindr asking for my number after some friendly chat & then using my name & number to find out more about me & make fraudulent financial applications in my name.

It's not just a nuisance, it's a really big deal! This needs to be taken seriously.

Why does one moderator approve the lifting of my ban but others don't. No consistency. No warnings issued first so that reason for ban behavior can be corrected. Why do moderators refuse to divulge exact reason for ban? GRINDR needs new moderators who can do their jobs properly. They need to review their terms and conditions. Lost total faith in a once great app to use. Will seek other apps and will definately not recommend GRINDR to anyone.

%100 AGREE

Tired of fake ads. App is useless. I used to enjoy Grindr. I was a paying member and will not renew. I spend my day talking to fake people, wasting time "trading pictures". And I am fed up. Administrators take note, your going to lose a lot of people in a short time.

I like the idea of charging for an identity verification, then allowing a user to filter for verified profiles only.

If Grindr suddenly disabled all fake accounts, their user count would be cut in half easily — so I don’t hold out much hope they’ll make any real verification retroactive. What the could do, though, is two things: offer a separate one time identity verification service for a few bucks, then allow users to filter so they only see verified profiles. Making the verification robust, cheap, and effective to use would be a way for legit users to see only each other and push the junk/spam/whatever out of the way as if they weren’t even there.

I am anti-social media accounts, so I'd be unable to log in. Don't require linking to third part sites.

Please bring back the option to tap a profile photo and see it without the text and be able to zoom in/out. The way the app crops profile photos, sometimes it hard to see what guys look like. Sometimes the faces are completely cropped out in the default view.

Ask Scruff how they keep spammers, bots, and fakes off their network.
Been on Scruff for many years.. NOT ONCE have I seen a fake profile.

This is actually a really simple one that they should have always had. Good call

Thomas: they disabled zooming, in order to enable multiple photos on your profile.

Make everyone verify by credit card and cell phone text message. This shouldn't be so difficult. Make EVERYONE pay a $1 verification fee. If they don't have a credit card, good bye. Most people on here don't want losers that don't even have a credit card. This will get rid of the Spam that is getting worse every day. I'm about to cancel because it's getting annoying. And now that you took away zooming in on photos.. W t f is that all about?

Validez les créations de compte avec SMS comme WhatsApp et contrôlez les photos avec des tests comme sur Badoo comme ça vous saurez qui a un vrai profil ou non et vous pourrez bloquer les escorts et compagnie de façon durable plutôt que les voir revenir tous les 3 jours

I spend more time reporting spam than chatting with real guys.

Fix all the ******* fake profiles ASAP

I feel this is imperative to safety. First thing should be done is to verify the email address suplied and make sure it is avtually valid, then send a code to the email address, the person writes the code on a paper holding it up in the mirror taking a selfie. Dudes nudes has been doing this for years now, and even piggy backing and taking their idea, if you want options... Just leave it options to verify and have a icon that appears on the profile, saying that they are verified.

I totally agree! I block people for reason, no need for them to pop up the next day with a new profile. The same goes for profiles grindr bans, for example *** workers or people selling drugs, they are baned today and I see a new profile tomorrow... Mobile phone number verification would work perfect...
