We really need something in place guys that hold a piece of paper face clearly shown only visable to Grindr staff only to verify its a real person or requiring that we use a credit card that would take a £1 verification to prove age and identity there is too many underages and catfish in the site it's dangerous

I agree. The app is what, 10 years old? How they don't have a system in place to prevent this is completely mind boggling. They simply don't care about users, just money.

Grindr does not give a **** about the fake profiles and the ability to keep on making new ones with non existing emailadresses because probably they get more subscribers to grindr xtra. (People who are so annoyed that they want to unlimited block).

It gets worse and worse. Whenever i make a new profile I already know a few profiles i am blocking already before they even have a chance to talk to me. (Or send me their fake pictures they found on some tumblr 😑).

I once talked to 3 different guys and from all 3 of them they senr me the exact same (fake) dickpicture.

This app has become an app for artwork more than an app to date/hookup.

More and more profiles have become pictures of sunsets, cars or even just basic artwork. Apps like Scruff and DaddyHunt require a face pic and that what Grindr should do. I’m so tired of seeing profiles without a face pic. I get so disgusted I use the other apps I have more often because I can see a face picture of who I’m looking at.

Get smart Grindr make it a requirement to have a face pic.

Sometimes you get hated on and/or threatened, then the bully performing the hateful act blocks you before you are able to report them. When someone blocks you, it should only block the ability to communicate for an hour before removing from sight and deleting the conversation. Give the victim the time needed to report the incident. Then after an hour remove the profile and conversation.

Grindr needs to have a X strikes and you’re out policy and then block the individual based on the IMEI of the phone NOT their email address. Emails are free and if you’re like me have a mail server so I have an unlimited number of email addresses at my disposal. If Grindr blocked the device after a user was banned the only way to access Grindr again is with a different device and email or contact Grindr and plead their case to lift the ban. If the ban is lifted they would be on probation. The ban would need to be removable due to phones being recycled and reused. So, if i got a refurb phone from insurance and The device was banned, I could contact customer service give them my account and IMEI of the phone. They could review my account and then lift the ban and put the device on 30 probation. If no infractions then lift it permanently. This would slow down the spam and the hate that some guys spread.

That's because Grindr simply doesn't care. A subpar "captcha" system, and the fact you don't need a valid e-mail speaks quite a bit, don't you think?

Blocks should be based on device ID like IMEI or phone number, and not just the individual account.

Right now guys just delete their blocked account and make a new one to continue harassing you.

This needs to be done ASAP!! The amount of fake/spam accounts on here has gotten out of control!!!

No need to look at all of your devices to piece together a conversation or recall his pictures

Too many fake profiles

I think Grindr could BENEFIT from a PRO section and label it as either escort or masseur if there’s rules to follow. Adam4Adam has been doing it for years. They generate extra revenue from pro ads. I haven’t paid for Grindr ads, but I would if they ever allowed Pros to advertise. That would allow pros to advertise, without having to hide in the shadows and “annoy” people. Something like $10-20 a month would be attractive to start.

You should bmake sure that one has only one account, I've just received an insult message from anonymous person and he said that he has another 24 accounts I didn't even had time to report his account as he insulted me and blocked me !!

I just want to say please make grindr more safe app for user.. I am using this app since it comes at Google play and I am happy with it.. But problem is that people are stalking each other .. For example if I block someone because of he can check my location as the grindr show nearby people.. Although I disabled the show distance option.. And he can suddenly make other fake profile without any hesitation because grindr do not ask for email confirmation... So please add the new feature in making new profile.

Yes, there re WAY too many fakes profiles, especially here lately it has gotten extremely bad, but I disagree with linking, measuring, or validating using social media. Doing that would be an invasion of privacy on the user .... Would you really want to know that your dad, doctor, dentist, or preacher who has had to live the closeted lifestyle their entire life isn't as you and everyone else thought? Could you agime what it could do to their life, livelihood, or business?

There are a lot of scammers on here. And advertising other sites . You need to stop by listening to people when reporting an potential scammers

Generous in EITHER direction is still prostitution, plain and simple. Why not make it very clear that this is against the TOS? Certainly if you try and report a profile for it, there is no clear choice.

Halloween photo kept getting rejected--a plague-doctor mask with LED lights, really?! But non-human photos of sunsets or streets are okay? Whenever I try to post a photo it takes HOURS or DAYS to be approved. About 60% of the time it's rejected for no apparent reason. If I want a photo of me in bondage gear... but want to change it to something cosplay related, it should happen instantly.

If you're gonna ban photos, ban faceless photos... not saucy content!

Please help.me to solve that.Thanks
