When you sign up or if you have signed up, you have to prove you're over 18 by taking a photo next to your driver's licence or form of id, if the id matches the photo of yourself on profile and you are 18+, you get to be on the app, there are too many minors on this app, they pretend they are over the age of 18 and it is becoming dangerous for everyone, either minors having sex and then regretting it or not getting their way and they file a police report against someone older, even if the older person doesn't know the minors real age, so I urge you to perform id checks or a valid proof that someone is 18+

A lot of people create profiles to harass people and I think that's wrong, there must be more security filters that only allow profiles with a photo in their profile
In addition, screen capture should be avoided in all application modalities to avoid being displayed on other social networks by unscrupulous people. It is my humble opinion

I've been victim to use of my pictures in fake profiles, extorted to friends for my encounters and this feature is very necessary to me. I have even deleted, reported this app for not considering more safety. I've gone that far, know your channels.

If it's geosocial but you have people around who are discreet and don't show face unless it's somewhat private, what happens when you run into an awkward family member encounter or etc? and then things go south? These things are more common than you think. Unlimited expiring photos could help eliminate that problem. No way for someone to embarrass you and try and ruin your home life. I've been victim to stolen pictures and extortion, please fix this problem.

Invasive and very beneficial to remove this end of the digital footprint.

Moderation of profile photos is done mostly by AI @seekeroftruthsdestroyeroflies some are physically monitored by human eyes but most pass through an AI then I suppose grinder leaves it to the user to double b verify by reporting. Essentially we are all moderators by proxy.

Gross invasion of privacy. Apple won't allow it. They have another system in place. Its effective too.

Agreed, its bad business, GRINDR! I have flagged people for blatantly using in trying to sell illegal drugs. And those profiles have never been removed. And then some people get banned there is no reason given. I mean how do we know that you don’t have gay people working on your staff that just don’t particularly care for someone’s profile and so they banned him? Bad business.

There is no protection of privacy, we don't know what you are doing WITH OUR personal data! I can understand for free but if someone pays you must protect his privacy not sell it!
Second problem is full of spam or phishing. Everything is out of control. IF YOU PAY GRINDR YOU MUST PROTECT OUR DATA, AND STOP ANY KIND OF SPAM OR SCAMS!!
GAYS ARE THE MOST UNDERRATED CUSTOMERS IN THE WORLD

Over 20 days now this feature has been disabled from my profile without notice or reason.

App is up to date and tickets opened don't solve anything, always a generic answer (if an answer is given at all...) and always changing the status of the ticket from "open" to "waiting for your reply" to mislead us into thinking they actually tried to do something to solve the issue, wanting us to close the ticket.

Limited expiring photos was fine as it was for xtra but cut it all out?? Almost no point in subscribing. not paying load of money for not getting screenshot by idiots.

What is up with all these guys that are saying they are massage therapist? Wanting you too book on line for a fee then poof their gone & so is your money?"

All of a sudden the 4 daily expiring photos for Xtra subscribers has been removed. We shouldn't have to upgrade to Unlimited to have some level of access to this feature.

I'm pretty sure the people running Grindr are behind this actually. I think it's a plot to get people to pay for subscriptions so that you can block an unlimited number of people, rather than the free subscriptions where blocking is limited.

Agreed that this is a safety / extortion concern, one that I have been a victim of.

Taking away a limited number of free expiring photos from a subscription I already paid for shows that grindr doesn’t really care about the community’s safety and doesn’t honor its agreements with paying members.

This change should be rolled back.

I’m sure you’ve probably heard this before, but allowing users to set up albums and unlock albums with one click, rather than having to send each photo separately would improve the app immensely. No offence, but sometimes it’s just easier to flick over to Scruff and find the same guy there.

Agreed I get this like every other day I'll have different profiles send me that exact message

Create an app that is popular for prostitution,drug users and a seperate one for transsexuals this app originally was made to have natural born men meet natural born men with discretion. Cleaning it up wud be ideal for the men to actually achieve encounters verses being bombarded with solicitation from drug addicts, transsexuals and prostitutes. They generally all find what they are looking for on the streets in their respective areas. However discrete men do not find these encounters on the street. Because they are discreet.

There are two categories of spam profiles:
1) the ones who send messages with a spam content.
2) others who send tapes and where spam data are inside their profil information.
So it could be nice to be able to report the second ones by having the option to say where spam does exist ( the profile information data) since message history is useless in this case
