All these loud annoying adverts every time you go onto a profile is ridiculous
Not only has Grindr become saturated with straight men looking for TS and gay escorts it has become just a message board for advertising companies.
Sort Grindr out , make a option a FREE option to select guys or TS
Why should my grid be full of men looking for woman lol on a gay app
And get rid of these ads

Have each profile attached to a verification code upon creation, The user must write it on a paper and load a photo to it and send it to the staff with a pic of their state ID (private info blackened out aside from name and birthday of course)

This lets the user be anon if they wish but this would add a security feature to keep people from making fake accounts, being underage, stealing info, cat fishing, etc.

Grindr really needs to ***** down on this B/S because its ridiculous to find out someone is either using your pics, are underage, pretending to be someone else and so on.

Once approved their info and code is filed, if a new profile is requested and the name matches one on file, staff would look it up and compare the face (if its the same person) and they were banned for breaking the rules, then their new account would be rejected.

Clean up Grindr!

I paid $1,800 as a result of a sextortion scam that started with an "18 " year old on Grindr. After I freaked and paid the "dad" to replace a broken computer to stop him and his wife from going authorities. I may be out another $1,200. They used Green Dot MoneyPak as the anonymous way to pay them. When you are threaten you react rather than think. It was only afterwards that I started Google searches and learned this is a worldwide scam. I feel so stupid. I dropped Grindr.

Stop allowing the spread of drug use.
You have blocked massages and those types of things but haven’t blocked any of the drug stuff... seems a little silly

Since there are more and more escorts on Grindr, why not allow escort accounts AND be able to indicate as such in the profile. Then you add a FREE filter, escort or non-escort. So everyone is happy. Normal users have access to normal people, and customers to escorts. And Grindr continues to have paying customers.

These icons will confirm to users that a profile has been verified by the Grindr mods. This will eliminate any further suspicion & reporting of that profile.

When we click on a photo we sent in a chat, we should be able to swipe through all the other photos we've sent, just like we can swipe through all the photos we've received. Having to open each photo one-by-one is a hassle. Please keep the 'sent' and 'received' photos separate, just make the 'sent' group swipable like the 'received' group. Thank you

New spam scam: use word/phrase filters to block spam: current new spam scam in profile: “not looking for anything serious just a good time”. Specific phrase being used as only phrase in profile. All spam/scam. Mine are approx 11 miles from me, same as what used to be directing to other website, and always as the “new” guys at top of screen. Should be able to screen them out using a phrase search/block.

I cannot log in or sign in to my existing account

Instead of us writing "no pic no chat" on our profiles but STILL continuing to get messaged by picless profiles, can't you just make this a setting? It will quell a lot of our frustration and probably encourage people to post profile pics.

****, i would mod for free

why doesnt grindr do it like okcupid where the userbase moderates profiles for free!

Users who have been reported for impersonation 3 or more times BUT have verified their profile with the Grindr moderators should get an orange, black, or blue checkmark placed at the bottom of their profile. Photo verification doesn't need to be mandatory for all users, but when a profile HAS been verified, it would be helpful for other users to know, so that no more suspicion arises.

Why does Grindr allow someone to send physically violent threats, and then enable them to delete their account to remove all evidence? Someone who claims he passes me on the street daily just threatened to break my jaw.
When someone deletes their profile or blocks you, messages from them should remain on your phone (as is the case with Facebook Messenger). I now cannot report this abuse because I have absolutely no proof that he ever contacted me. This is poor.

Can't believe this only has 37 votes. More to the point I can't believe it needs voted for. Too many trolls and abusive toolbags out there that just make a new profile when blocked or banned.

I agree completely. I’ll get profiles saying that they are 18. We get to chatting and they are like let’s trade pics. I’ll ask again. Are you really 18. Then they answer my question with “sure, but why does that matter?” Like they don’t know why it matters. Age verification is much needed in this application as there are MANY underage users.

Photo verification would be great. Users who have verified that their profile pic is really them should get a checkmark placed at the bottom of their profile. Photo verification doesn't have to be mandatory for all users, but will be super helpful for profiles that are accused of impersonation, as well as for users who have had bad experiences with catfish in the past.

Linking a phone number to users' profiles would, too, curb the amount of catfish on the app. Users who have linked (and verified) their phone number should receive a similar checkmark placed at the bottom of their profile. This, too, does not have to be mandatory, but making it at least an option will add to the quality & usability of the app.

Facebook login verification is another layer of (optional and helpful) profile authentication.

Having the ability to 'unlock' your profile pic, instead of sending one upon request, would be amazing.

I couldn't agree with you more. My profile was suspended nearly a week ago, and I can't seem to get a response from someone at Grindr.

Last month I was stronged armed to update my profile. I lost all my data in result of the update. It took someone over a month to get back to me. Apparently the over whleming support requests they received during pride, delayed their response. apprently they didn't have enough staff to answer emails in a timely fashion.

I wonder what's the excuse now.
