Please, please, please... I’m so tired of getting invites to *** parties. I’ve tried blocking offenders but the bombardment for a day was unreal.

Not good anytime but these kind of invites during Covid just isn’t good. Please sort it out!

How about you make it easier for someone drugged raped and robbed to get ahold of you. It is impossible to get ahold of you. I have been so discouraged at times. How do the police get ahold of you? I’m in Mexico, how do I obtain information about my case? Do I contact you in English or Spanish? Please help me. This happened on the 7th of July. I’ve got his fingerprints already but I need information from you to complete my case. The police here won’t do anything unless you have done the work yourself.

My account was just banned and I have absolutely no clue why. I've been using Grindr for years. I am always in line with the Community Guidelines. I had no idea I was even breaking them if that's the case, or if I was reported by a user I still have no clue why. I never got any warning. The ban screen doesn't state the violation. Grindr Support refuses to tell me the reason for the ban.
Grindr, is there any reason for this draconian level of enforcement? I've Googled around and I see I'm not the only one in this predicament. From a customer service perspective this is beyond appalling. I wish you guys would do better. You're not exactly doing any justice for the queer community with this sort of virtual rule enforcement.
Imagine being pulled over by a cop and being arrested and sent to jail and never even being told the reason. This is what this is. Extremely unfair and disappointing.

Remove bots and spam from Grindr. It is beyond ridiculous. When creating an account, there should be "proof" provided by the user that they are not a bot.

You guys need to talk to people that you ban (investigate the issue), because it can be for a misunderstanding. It can be because that person doesn't know how to communicate because of a language barrier. I think you have to talk to people to really understand what happened.

what about those being stalked can they not choose to share face depending on their confort with individual profiles?

I would like option to hidden pic profile from the profile without pics.
By this way, the grindr "force" these guys to use a pic profile.

You ought to introduce only verified photos in the profile and messages to prevent cheating, fraud and prevent criminal abuse. For example in Taksim, Istanbul most tops want money. One, if desperate for intimacy, could consider giving, if one could afford, if it is worth it. But guys with small penises send photos of big penises, lure you with kind words, trap you and force you to give them your money and valuables. One cannot go to police, as the current ruler of the state is prosecuting all LGBT+ and one could get in trouble. Evil users even threaten of giving you out to police.

Grindr should warn before ban someone, giving the reason and the chance to change.
And NEVER ban the IMEI. That's ridiculous!

I would like to see if there was a way Grindr can verify yourself and make a blue check mark like Instagram or Tinder. I think it will help with catfishing and fake profile. Of course, it isn’t mandatory just like Tinder. It is just a little extra step of security for Grindr users.

The amount of spam is absolutely ridiculous! I am paying the maximum for this service and there is at least one spam message per day. Can't you build spam filters? It's always the same pictures and texts.

If you are in the UK there is a Company Datarep who deals with any data enquiries in the UK for Grindr Google them and drop them an email as they are getting fed up with Grindr breaking Data Protection Laws in the UK

Get with 2020 already Grindr. I vowed not to renew my subscription until this feature is implemented. Or at the very least copy what Tinder did and have the option to be verified with a blue checkmark. Therefore some people can still be unverified if they wish but at least the vast majority will know they’re likely fake. This feature is long overdue.

This should be grindr’s top priority. It should be embarassing to the developers that this hasn’t come out yet.

Stop banning us for no reason!

I was banned on grindr for no reason

Yes, I'm in Bogotá as well and literally, there's areas in which 8 out of ten profiles are scorts or dealers, this isn't a dating or *** meeting app anymore, it's turning into a *** version or amazon.
Not to mention that the app is sponsoring the platform to sell serious drugs and promote prostitution without regulation

I just contacted Google Data protection office at: data-protection-office@google.com

I think we all should.

Grindr used my IMEI without my consent, to ban my device from the app.

These kinds of actions go against European Data Protection Law and should be against your Policies as well. Also has an impact on the value of my phone, since I can not resell as "perfect working conditions".

Google should take action on this matter, otherwise, should be responsible not only for the data breach but also for the economical damage.

Looking forwards to see the actions Google takes on this matter.

I sent an email, I recommend we all do, to:
