Please bring the filter Photos Only back for free users!!
Grindr is way less fun right now because there are more profiles without photos then profiles with photos and it is annoying.

I’ve had fake dudes from scruff Facebook and tinder message me. It’s not a safety issue to me because I wouldn’t meet anyone without them texting me via wireless device and after talking 24-48 hours. If anyone is moaning it is the bottom or the guy who commented below joe jx-xyz in addition, no one with a fake account is going through all the research to find this (how can we improve your experience) so it gives one pause to your motives. I can tell 90% of the comments are from this same guy who says reports never get resolution and ends by saying act on it Grindr. It’s probably a woman trying to catch her husband. If Grindr has access to photo gallery and get traced back then what is your issue?

Support high quality uploaded pics

Support high quality uploaded pics

Brilliant idea.
It's a safety issue.
People obviously don't read the conditions on the site, when ever you upload a photo, yours or not, Grindr has access to your phone Gallery. So always get traced back to the phone they used to send text and images and sign in with.
I created a new profile and didn't have any number verification.
All I see is spam, fake accounts.
Also people saying no to this, obviously are fake accounts, why else comment on this or even look at it.
Even more so when Tinder, Plenty Of Fish and Scruff have these verification processes which is mandatory.
The report option never gets acted on.
Also bit of a difference when someone is pretending to be someone and using pictures without concent. Not about "Common Sense".
Also people moan about number giving out, you have to do this with every site you sign up these days. So I don't see a issue at all.
So yes, more verifications the better.
Act on it Gridnr.

So many fakes. So many people trying to get personal info. You do nothing when a profile is reported. Why dont you insist on some I'd before people set up a profile. Its getting really boring guys.

No. People who say yes to this, obviously are the ones who will get scammed all their life because they lack common sense. They have a learning curve best to coach them now before they get old.

So no we should not use our phone numbers as a verification this is not tinder, scruff if you like that go to that portal. Having a phone number won’t stop all the issues on here. Stop being a **** and sending your nudes and if you want this option you’re the one sending your nudes have some class. I don’t understand why ppl think a phone number is going to resolve the issue at hand. Heck they can say hey Zander let me borrow your phone for a second or mom dad brother sister phone number changes go phones google text list goes on.

Stop showing blocked profiles. If I block someone, it’s because I do not want to see them or have them contact me. All this does now by showing blocked profiles is just taking up space on the list of available searches and they can still look at your profile since I see that they checked out my profile even thou they are blocked.

Local Advocates !!! Yes !! Give them Admin rights to view accounts. Hàve a sign up link in settings where they can submit relevant work history in law, security work, lawyers, and so on, verify the individuals with s background check and let us police ourselves to a degree

So lately I’ve been having a problem with people trying to scam and being catfishes. This verification process would lower my chances of coming across scammers and fakes. Also the preferences for choosing who you want is VEEEERRRY limited. Say for instance I only want a couple or I want somebody who is single. I can’t choose that because my preferences are limited and that leaves me bored and unsatisfied with the app.

Ain't fun and I'm suprised they haven't already got something like this in place. I welcome this idea.

Needs some sort of phone verification for every user.
Gridnr needs to up its game.
Not about meeting fake people.
It's about stopping people using fake accounts and pictures from the start.
People who say no to this, obviously the ones who create fake accounts.

So yes we should use our phone numbers as a verification as, tinder, scruff, POF and every other site asks for this.

I know this may seem strange but it would be nice if there were a category like there was for everything else, for the drugs people use. This isn’t to promote drug use but just to make the filtering process more enjoyable for everyone. As an offset if this does seem like a hard decision, it would be a good way to aim more drug awareness and addiction help lines in that direction, and through the app more prevalent yet for everyone. It’s no users fault that they use, but they’re still people who deserve respect and and will find the guidance when they need it.

Ever heard of a burner phone? Pre paid wireless is too easy to get and some people use their work phones too and or iPads. Find another way or tell the user to send you a pic doing something to verify who they are. No one wants you having their personal information. How about don’t meet them if you don’t trust them or get off your lazy butt and go meet people in real life.

FAKE PROFILES are gonna loose my membership.. Check out my ”nearby” half or more profiles with odd profile pics, ask the m to video chat or even send a current pic and they won't, because they can't.

This will not help the situation. There should not be any Profiles allowed with out a verified account and a mandatory profile photo! So many use this no profile photo to cheat on their partners. Even allowing it for 24h enables cheaters to con't cheating!!

No verification, no phone or picture verification. Only email verification. So anyone can create an account pretending to be you which has happened to me and many others and abuse the system, the report system they have in place is pointless, as there is only a email verification, the fake users and blank profiles can just create another one using a new email. A huge safety concern in which Grindr aren't even acting on or acknowledging and aren't taking this seriously. Needs Investigating!

I've seen so much illegal activity on Grindr which isn't being taking seriously enough from this Company.

Seems you aren't even listening to serious issues as such as this.
Even Tinder has added a picture verification when signing up and for old users, also they have a standard phone verification as well as POF and Scruff. Yet Grindr hasn't. Something doesn't add up.

As for the "report" nothing ever happens to the fake profiles, as I have numerous amount of customers evidence to support this. Also you should have a extra verification instead of a simple email verification. As the recent news regarding the safety issue regarding Grindr, as a result I will be taking this futher.

I will be passing my concerns on. I also want you to pass this on as an official complaint.

Don’t allow profiles without a face or body pic profile. I’m tired of so many flake profiles.

How are people I blocked keep sending me messages? Blocking error

Well. After two years of this post being on Top of the list.

STILL no phone verification or picture verification. Whereas other apps such as Tinder, POF etc had this rather important safety feature implemented!

I am absolutely disgusted that Gridnr hasn't done this still as I am sick of the fake accounts and pictures that have been used of my friends without their permission. As it's simple to create another email account without tracking.

As for the report button. Pointless as they can just create another account using a different email without any extra verification for signing up or in.

SORT IT.
