I got banned also, when requesting a ban appeal they rejected it saying someone reported me? I never got the reason for what I did. I DID NOT DO ANYTHING. I barely even used the app. After the reply from them I replied back with saying that I did not do anything and what the reason was for the ban. They replied with their terms that they can ban any account if they wish so. 😂 I am so disappointed merely because I am 100% sure I did not do anything as I barely opened the app just to check profiles once a week.

There are people trying to sell underage sex (acting like a pimp) as well as crystal meth. Really Grndr? You basically let this be some underground market for underage sex and drug sales etc? Undercover makes it even worse. None trusts anyone anymore

Yes yes yes. Going on grndr these days is like walking on mines

I just feel like gay men should be allowed to post nude photos and cut back on the asking for private photos and such. I know I prefer to just show my cock up front because it cuts back a lot of inquiry only driven messages, and likewise I would not have to go through asking for those for hook ups.

Authentic profiles should be verified. Tinder has great verification process. Show them your photo, holding a name of your profile or either submit ID in order to have your profile blue checkmark which will show authentic users. There is a ton of fake profiles. I am paying Grindr and will continue to do so but let us be able to get verified. Otherwise I will leave this apl for good. From dating app, Grindr became sex app which is sad. Do something!

Yes Verification is needed, but seriously people Grindr was never meant to be a dating app. The name alone tells you what it was meant for. If you want a dating app go to match or something.

It can be added a special filter for sex works as it is now the prohibition of specific words indicating the escorts generate General Misunderstandings and in average those are the ones always on top of the New faces or always on line.
Honestly this is not the primary reason why Grindr app was created and moreover this generate a general perception that the prostitution is something Normal in the gay community, especially for teens this can generate frustration and problems in accepting and/or outing.

There's a guy changing his identity and then after talking then gives sad story for gift card and he says he's in the military in Afghanistan I have the name

Sometimes persons don't have profile picture and they agree to exchnage their face pics in chat, but it is usual situation: when the first one sent his picture and the recipient one does not like him he just ignore him and does not send back pictures. This fact is very frustrating and every person avoid to send picture firstly. So, please add function to the app which ensure to send both of them photoes and only after this each other have ability to see these photoes.

Rob needs to get a grip as I’ve responded numerous time.....this is the hopeless customer service that Grindr offers....they have no idea of how to communicate with users and are the most unhelpful

Remember if Grindr blocks you IMEi and it’s an Apple device then report to Apple ASAP

Exactly! I've been told nothing about why I've been suspended and my ticket closed with no response from them.

A large number of profile photos are of bare men's (both cis and trans) chests, some even with close ups of their nipples. But whenever I post a picture of my chest, it is rejected as "nudity" or "sexually suggestive" I can only presume this is because it is being perceived as a "female" breast. Not only is this a reflection of a ridiculous societal double standard around women's bodies and nipples, it is absurd given that I'm not a woman. Either block all nipples or stop discriminating based on gender and the shape of one's breast. #FreeTheNipple

As you can see they try to come across as professional but they will ignore the email and Grindr has the worst customer service. Staff are rude, arrogant and unhelpful

Guess it’s time to start looking into a class action lawsuit against this device IMEI ban practice. It violates your rights to the device from apple

THE LAST GUY THAT I SPOKE WITH DRUG ME AND STORE MY JEWLERY AND MY PHONES. HE IS THE ONE THAT CAME OVER TO OUR ROOM IN PUERTO VALLARTA MEXICO. I ALREADY FILE A POLICE REPORT WITH THEM. IS THERE ANY POSIBLE AY YOU CAN SEND ME THE CONVERSATIONS. MYEMAIL NUMBER CESARGLAVEY@YAHOO.COM ALL LOWER CASE.

There are currently 3 people in my area using my photos and my name and there’s no way to report them and even if I do they don’t get taken down. Y’all need to add verification so these people can’t catfish using my photos it’s insanely infuriating and can damage my reputation, they are literally pretending to be me.

Let people verify their profile so you can tell who is real and who is using photos that doesn't belong to them. Please add this. I'm sick of people using photos of other users. Please.

The scam artists are close to 50% of the assholes that contact me. The other 50%, are mostly my sex buddies.
These people repeat the same story, use the same photos. I used to drag them along going with their sad story until I couldn't go any farther. I'm guessing you can't do anything until it is real in your eyes, even though we can spit them within a few words.
So, we click on the "report" the jerk, then it makes us feel stupid because we have no idea how to create a log of our conversation,,,, perhaps that could be automated, since I've now dumped the idea knowing I can't supply you with the information you need..... And then, guess what - - the next two messages are just more crap.
Right now, they want your phone number, hoping they can request a PiN from Tinder for who knows what. They got smart last year when they created some websites that look pretty good. The lure is the hot masseuse with incredible low prices just for you. A simple $3 registration fee online will get you laid for days.
As soon as you book your appointment don't forget to call your bank also, because the card number you just entered is charging computers, stereos, hookers, whatever they want. Because your $3 transaction is how the really screwed you.
Perhaps a pop up?? I really don't know, but if you entered something like
Scammer Alert
Why are you giving your phone number to that hot guy online who said he just wanted to make sure you are real. Yea, he's trying to get in your pants but he only wants your wallet. Perhaps it's something short, sweet, and catchy.
Thank you for listening,
Scott Patterson

I think this would both cut down on spam starting out conversations with a photo of some site or just people starting out conversations with 8 unwanted nudes. Maybe even a popup would do it "This user has requested not to receive NSFW photos at first or at all, please be considerate"
