Require more personal data when creating or updating profile/account to protect good honest individuals. Immediate removal of harrassing/derogatory profiles, and banning their email or IP or device from creating another profile.

I would caution you to think about trans people and how their IDs may not reflect their chosen name or gender marker

Just stop using IT then

If someone on app has previously been involved with criminal activity &/or arrested in the past it would be nice to know. A Grinder user stole my wallet containing drivers license, many gift cards, debit card, and money. And I am truly sick of guys asking me if I wanna smoke weed with them when that stuff isn’t even legal in N.C. ([THANK GOD!]). I’ve even had a young guy who’s 16 years old ask me for some. This made me concerned about his health and what could happen to him. Honestly, this is a very unsafe app that is mostly being used for contacting dealers & users for illegal drug use. I believe it should be shut down.

I don’t care how. I was asked for: more pics? 77 times in a row. I sent pics 77 times. And zero communication. I’m not that **** ugly. But the current state of this is a joke.

No, don't do this. Being somewhat anonymous is a great and need feature.

I agree! There are too many people who don't match their pics...
Be proud! Be yourself!

Please. I've already had people report my profile multiple times for being "underage" (I'm ******* 30), and have had to send a picture of my driver's license w/ my birthday visible – despite having paid for Xtra for years.

Having something to stop that **** from happening again would be grand.

Make being verified a thing. It’s dangerous and makes everyone voulnerable when fakes steal pics. It’s jist not right. A simple send pic oF you holding your ID and then you get a verified something… I mean that would be great

Have the user take a picture with their screen name to verify.

Inclined to agree and ban them if they don’t flag themselves as escorts.

Totally agree on a verification option as to whether a profile/person is genuine, but don’t agree with a rating system as there are too many ******* on here happy to ruin a persons score out of pure vindictiveness only...
Email addys should be verified, given it’s possible to put a fake email address when you join...

you just have to use a phone number that verifiable because there's a lot of fake profiles and it could be dangerous 4 someone and there's also a lot of spam it gets very annoying

Many users have vague (or no) usernames and unclear (or no) profile pictures. But when they privately share their real name or clear photos with you, it would be nice to be able to set their privately-shared name and photo as their username and profile pic. When you see messages from them in the future you’ll be able to remember right away who they are, rather than have to open the app and scroll back through (however many) message to refresh your memory.

For those of us who aren't interested in *** with people who are high and drunk, or who want to indicate we're sober /clean, add a profile setting for substance use that allows multiple choices: drugs and alcohol, alcohol only, and neither drugs or alcohol. It should also be possible for you to say whether you care about your partners choices, or perhaps, just allow access to search based on their answers. Ideally the former.

They should do it how they do on surge. To verify your account you have to take a selfie in the position they choose directly from your camera not the camera roll.

Yes yes YES Not Mobile number, verify by uploading photos with their name on it! Or doing a pose requested by Grindr.

Reduce spam. Ever since I subcribed to the pay version, I am inundated with spam messages and taps.

Have like a match or find in a pic

Please. We need this on the app by yesterday
