I raised these concerns with Grindr Support and received this response (see attached). It appears that *all* users, including premium subscribers, have a limit on the number of profiles they can block. Once this threshold is reached, Grindr automatically unblocks profiles from the oldest upwards.

I have asked Grindr to consider removing limits, as blocks are crucial to safety. In the meantime, you should use the report function if you are being harassed.

It's not users creating a new profile it's people on your block list being unblocked. I think maybe change your password as someone else might be logging in to your account?

Yjuu

Similar to what Jack’d has set up in their app

Users should not be allowed to make multiple accounts!!

When making an account (and existing accounts) users should be made to take a photo of themselves (face) with a unique number written on a piece of paper so People can be verified with the number given to the user. Then a icon should be displayed on their profile showing other users of their verification.

Meet rating - if you meet a user you should be allowed to “rate” this user with multiple choice questions and comments allowing other users to know they are a safe/unsafe person to meet.

I’ve had numerous bad experiences in meeting fake and violent people off of Grindr where police have had to be involved. Grindr should have a responsible of making people safe and having a better idea of whom they are meeting

I’ve found Grindr are more hung up on photo uploads and guidelines instead of people’s safety!

Many are advertising scam profiles that ask for reservation paypal payments. They are scams - $ goes and no appointments happen masseurs mostlyAND the commercial link responses

On your previously sent photos when messaging someone, you should have the option of moving the photos in the order you want them to do, not based on when you added them to the app.

Photo should approve quickly

thus happened to once.took months to clear me clean..a grindr user reported me by mistake for spamming .. confirm reporting by making a trusted grindr user into a administrator..like me for instance

during sign up create a username.have them send a selfie to Grindr support holding a sign displaying Grindr.com
and username
that Will stop spam/fake profiles

Would just like to be able to Save Photos ppl send me and for once not Do it With A Screenshot in order to save the pic. Ideally to be able to save it into my camera roll in its original Form

I really think that device ban & phone number are horrible ways of verification. Device ban can be avoided with resetting phone, BUT the sim card number is blocked/banned forever from registering again. What if I give that number to another gay friend, or sell my phone, that person won't be able to use grindr???

Also they removed the Fake gps option - they forgot that much more gays live in small rural areas and that they can't see other profiles unless moving location to a bigger city / or when you travel so that you can find friends abroad in advance

Really grindr you are getting worse and worse and you aren't helping your users at all

only limited profiles nearby are shown while this limited spaced only filled with escorts / MBs

Users should be able to "mute" words that could be offensive or annoying or commonly associated with scams, such as "BBC" or "sugar daddy". So if someone messages me a muted word, the message will be blocked and I won't even see it. And if a user has that word in their profile, the profile won't show in my grid.

These messages have actually stopped for me in the past few weeks (touch wood).

There were 2 things that really pissed me off about these spam messages:
1) they always had the same or very similar wording with the same URL shown, yet after huge numbers of reports Grindr would never filter them out (the work experience kid could do it in 5 minutes); and
2) the profiles that sent these spam messages were NEVER deleted/blocked -

Yes grinder is a hook-up site but with so many members it would be smart for you guys to offer a classified section which features categories such as a home renovation helpers landscapers drivers caregivers private chefs licensed massage therapist counseling groups AA and na classes crisis response websites and other such field how about hooking up people to help them not just f*** them

The ability to mass block all the obviously fake profiles with a select function to highlight dozens to block not just 1 at a time. This app is becoming worthless

Es irracional y confuso el modo en el que discrimina una foto en cuanto a si es explícitamente o no sexualmente hablando. Y está comprobado que pareciera que un día ustedes aceptan una fotografía y al día siguiente no por amor al arte y no porque infrinja alguna norma comunitaria.

Deben revisar sus políticas pues generan confusión y descontento. Vayan a los perfiles y vean lo que ustedes aprueban y luego comparen con lo que rechazan.

Not likely to happen @Justin
Grindr sorta has a thing about allowing people to be anonymous because they work for MI5 or MI6 or they are Boris Johnson whatever. So a lot of them won't come on what means less ads revenue less spam (aka additional ads)

there should be an option that only genuine users can view each other's profile. create two distinctions: "genuine" and 'yet to be genuine"
