Just verifying that the guys aren't scam or hackers.

Where I live a face pic would be a
Firing offense (yes there are places in America that are redneck).
Think of others and ask for a pic and don't be **** about pics.

But how do you ensure Grindr is a safe space for those not out? A face pic is a lot of pressure for those coming out of the closet or experimenting.

I think this is a great idea

The fresh face initiative you launched allows drug dealers and hustlers and anyone else to reconstitute their ad with a new email address approximately once an hour which makes them unblockable … Extremely irritating for paying members to constantly be approached for money and services by the same people no less.

They must require a profile picture...

Stop alloying blank and traceless accounts to prevent spam... also the emails from Grindr are essentially spam and unsolicited marketing

This x1000. The number of fake profiles is incredible and they're usually very obvious, but you block them and three more appear. Users should need a verified email, as in they actually have to click a link in the email to confirm, and also one account per IMEI device. The rest of us shouldn't have to do deal with that BS because someone can't remember their password or needs to keep deleting the app because they don't want their wife finding out. It's mind-boggling how it's2018 and Grindr still hasn't figured any of this out.

Add "verified User"option that person should use same picture and name which matches to his/her Government ID Proof

New users submit their I'd while sign up
Old users have to submit to get verified tick

LESSER RISK # SAFE CRUISING#SAFE DATES #MORE TRUST # HAPPY GRINDING#HAPPY HUNTING!!!!

This is a A gay app. You won't even allow a hint of public hair or other things that we want to see. More nudity

See who and when someone screenshots your photos or profile.

Make sure thewn that are on this website have a face picture to post. If not delete them

Perhaps it would be possible to restrict use of the app to one account per IMEI. If or when the device is later sold or given away to someone else, the new device-owner would be required to submit several face pics which meet specific requirements (e.g. “outside a library”, “winking with tongue out”) before the IMEI is permitted. Or would it be easier to clear the IMEI for use by enforcing a 1:1 relationship with IMEIs at the account level, i.e. a user can not log in on a new device without jettisoning the previous IMEI link?

I have been harassed online by guys making burner accounts

Profiles without a picture shouldn’t be available.

This in no way will reduce the fake profiles. Secondly, this will reduce the number of people using this app as good number of them are not wanting to share their personal information. Thirdly, the blame cannot be put eternally on fake profiles as any person chatting with unknown person must be aware of what he is sharing.

good idea full of fakes on grinder

Have users have an opinion to be verified. Grinder sends out a code and user sends a Picture of themselves with the code on a paper like Dudesnude.com does

Shareable albums. And ability to send and receive video

Fake profile detection, ie ( catfish, - photo detection) if it is detected that two (or more) people use the same photo the second profile is questioned and made proove their identity--

This can be more and more accurate and avalable with the advancements of face ID now available on the latest iphones

I fell this would widespread reduce the amount of catfish and fake profiles
