Without warning, and without any explanation, and without any means of being able to lift the ban, I have been banned from Grindr. I am upset in particular because I have some good friends on the app, and also because I paid for Grindr Unlimited. I would like my account unbanned, or, barring that, at least refunded.

What plebs who think its for fake blank profiles, it's to trace you if you meet guys, its covid19 tracker app by the back door

Same here! Idiots started banning IMEI addresses, unless you get a new phone - u won’t be able to have Grindr anymore!

NO! Some guys like it anon or can’t show their face because of WORK!

Couldn’t agree more. The number of fakes and catfish is unsafe

all of these females and mtf prostitutes are irritating. your app description says gay men.... ftm are fine...but females and mtf should not be allowed in here.

I put in my number and requested verification numbers multiple times. I have yet to receive one so I cannot open an account

Great idea, why grindr still waiting to make it reality. It’s been more than 2 years. Come on, move your ******* and do your job to protect us from stalkers, discrimination and being beaten lol

Grindr has a policy, as soon as you send a photo via your phone Gallery, it has access to all of your photos stored on your phone, as well as IP address, the lot.

So can ALWAYS be tracked back.

However, the phone verification I agree, is a good idea.

Please make it so you have to ask a user permission before sending photos. I'm sick of getting **** pics in my inbox every day. Both my bio and my stats say I don't accept nudes. Guys just don't read bios before sending nudes so that stuff is useless. And before anybody tells me that I shouldn't be on Grindr if I don't want to hook up, I'm only on Grindr because every other app where I live is dead. Grindr is the only one guys actually use near me. Also, actually do something about guys who send unsolicited nudes. Step up the the plate and actually punish them because that actually breaks your app's guidelines and I'm pretty sure you guys don't do anything about it when I report it.

Grindr has a phone verification in place, only problem is, that when you click on verify, grindr does not send you a verification number .. ever.. and I've let grindr know about one guy who is using several fake profiles, he's very resourceful, uses pics that cannot be traced, uses a fake phone app if you want to speak to him first... the phone app gives him a fake background and fake voice to use, look it up, can crop and edit pics very quickly if they are not cropped and also has the ability to manipulate video, look it up, it can be done and yes he really does spend 24/7 pretty much creating and using new profiles.. I asked him one night... if he has like 20 profiles on there at that time .. he said... think a lot more ..... .. and he rotates them like every 10 to 15 minutes for the most of them... I've tried to contact them for help, they ended up just ignoring me

These blank profiles really are starting to get on my nerves. I understand some aren't "out".

However, be more reassuring if a better verification system was set in place, such as a phone verification or something, so it would be less likely to be a stalker or a fake account using pictures.

Can't quite understand why it's taking this long to do this request. When almost every other app asks you to enter your phone number when signing up or in.

Personally, it's laziness from this company. Even more so when you pay for unlimited a month!

I think that it is irritating that you can see the profiles that you have blocked
There are a reason why you have blocked them
Don’t understand how people that you have blocked still contact you

Security is key.. especially to the users on this app.. I understand certain things cannot be required to be put public... However requiring an ID, would be extremely beneficial..at least to have a sort of a "verified profile" type of attribute would be cool.. there is many users on here who not only catfish but there are also possible underage users.. I feel it is your duty to at the LEAST put some sort of VERIFIED attribute to a person who is THEMSELVES! Ams the rest can go on and go about their business...! But please we have gone over and over and over and over with fake profiles.... Can this company please think about the issues it has brought us and myself... Not only is there your own friends catfishing.. possibly come workers maybe family... There are people who would appreciate individuals who would be an actual VERIFIED member.. Grindr is a circus full of catfishes and it needs to be stopped.. and this would be a way for us as real individuals who are actually actually looking for love or a real hookup without feeling like this person isn't taking who they are and possibly is a familiar face and just wants nudes... Please give us an option to verify ourselves as a real person. We deserve this option!

I have same concern. I have blocked one guy atleast 20 times and have reported him also yet he keeps messaging me with new profile. It gets old pretty quick and when they don't take the hint what are you to do. Blocking and reporting goes unnoticed. Paying profile hounded by fake or stalker profiles.

Pesimo servicio.
Banean la cuenta sin motivo ni explicación acusandote de cosas realmente graves como vender drogas.
Si poder reclamar solo haciendo caso a cuatro locas que les has dicho que no quieres sexo, te reportan por tonteras, y adiós! Grindr deberia tener otro sistema de bloqueo.

Prostitución es abierta y pornografía en un sitio de sexo...

Bloquean sin justificación y no hay servicio al cliente.

Agreed. Please bring it back for free.

Having the photos only or face photos filter as a free filter was a game changer. Some of us don’t want to talk to blank profiles at all. Please make it a free feature again otherwise being on this app is a waste. I want to see who I’m talking to and I shouldn’t have to pay $100+ a year for that.

If you bann me tell me why I hardly ever use it this is the second time this has happened

In countries from South America, due to the inexistent human moderation for the profiles; Grindr it's a standard of "Pokemon GO for drugs" that means: Grindr now it's known for a big amount of drugs and police free black market. This is now an opression for gay men and gay people in general because grindr was the gay male app for excellence, but now it's a place for hetero males and females black market, even they are looking for hookups due to the popularity of the app in the hetero illegal drug world. We need STRONG human moderation, not that lame technology that it's AI or artificial intelligence, which it's easy to fool.
