Verifying the person by sending a picture to Grindr while holding a paper of the numbers to be verified as the real person. There’s too much danger involved with meeting people on this app, too many scammers too in this app

Hello

Please change your company policy on opening accounts my ex boyfriend has over 20 different profiles and he uses them to contact different men so they don’t know what he is doing with other men! He is very dangerous and evil! Someone is going to get hurt again by your app and account policies

Never waste time with faceless profiles
Those without a profile picture should not message/bother someone with a profile picture

I have spoken so so many people lately who have encountered a lot of negative experiences in Grindr, and it’s getting worse. The Grindr experience is deteriorating because of the increasing number of fake accounts, spam, paid for services (drugs, ***, other websites) , and are ruining the experience. We need someone that we can speak with if we have encountered something/someone negative on the site. I know of someone who was forced to pay money on meeting someone with threats of violence and was then blocked so he could do nothing about it. This is not right!! Grindr has a duty of care to its users!!! Grindr needs to have someone that we can contact, particularly when a person is at risk.

I been catfish twice and Just my last experience I was held ******* and forced to open my open and use cash app to send someone money. The person wasn’t the one the picture, they set me up because not one was it one person but the person had a backup person that came out the room to intimidate me to not leave. This is becoming very serious, my Sartre was on the line. Grindr needs to Install meme we verification for all not just for the paid subscription.

Profiles with connected social accounts show trustworthiness and help prevent scamming. For this reason, Grindr should partner with a safe, secure, privacy-focused social authentication system (like Credo360) that would allow Grindr members to prove to the community that they are a real and credible person while still maintaining their anonymity and data privacy.
Credo360, which is an independent, flexible, and next-generation verification system, can be adapted to fit the needs of any digital platform, especially one like Grindr (just like it has on Reddit). Integrating it *into* users’ profiles would reduce fraud and conflicts on the app, bring security and honor to the app community, put people in better control of their app presence, empower users with knowledge, and, most importantly, it would make meetups safer and more reliable.

Credo360 normally assigns a Credo ID and trust scores (called Credo Scores) to its members, but, for Grindr, it could simply be a matter of carrying verification badges on one’s profile of all the verifications one has completed. For example: Credo360 allows members to connect a range of their social accounts (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, Reddit), as well as their contact information (email address, mobile number) and their government ID. These connections, once authenticated through Credo360, would then be reflected in the member’s linked Grindr profile in a built-in verification section in the form of badges. For example, if a member has verified their government ID through Credo, an ID badge will light up in their Grindr profile. If they’ve verified their Facebook account, a Facebook badge will light up—hyperlinked or not, depending on the user’s preference. If their mobile number has *not* been verified, the corresponding cell phone badge in their profile will stay dark until it is. Hence, badges only light up if and when their verification has been completed. This way, the Grindr community will see on every profile which verifications have been completed and which ones have not.
The advantage of outsourcing these kinds of verifications to a third-party identity platform like Credo360 is the added security and privacy. By using a third party, we can keep Grindr out of our Facebook pics and LinkedIn profile—i.e., not sacrifice our privacy by linking the accounts to Grindr itself—while still infusing valuable trust and transparency throughout our interpersonal exchanges on the app.

With identity proofing, authentication, and ID/age/photo verification available to Grindr members in a secure, modern way like this, we users would be better able to avoid all the rampant scams and catfishes that seem to have proliferated aggressively on the app in recent months. By being able to prove our credibility (using bank-grade encryption), and by knowing which profiles we can trust, browsing and connecting on the app would be easier than ever. Grindr members would no longer have an excuse to *not* validate their profile, and those who are accused of being fake will be able to easily confirm their authenticity and eliminate any further suspicion. Not to mention, a partnership like this would likely generate a new, socially responsible stream of revenue for Grindr and the contracted service provider, due in part to the new advertising opportunities it would allow for.
By empowering users with an authentication system like this that keeps users’ personal information safe and their anonymity intact, Grindr would be providing an extremely necessary resource that ensures safety, security, quality, and discretion, and one that helps facilitate simple, efficient, and reliable connections.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration!

This is kinda funny as most the ones insisting on face pics don’t have one themselves

Verify age at least so no one under 18 is allowed

This should be number one priority to confirm any person under 21 is really age they claim

I think GRINDR is hurting for MONEY and this is the reason so many are being banned,they want MONEY

Instead of making it for premium users only, no paid members should have the option for privacy.

I am real and pay for my account and I get banned. What the heck is the process of there even is one. How come when o report someone for actually being fake. I see their profile still. Someone reports me because I didn’t answer them in time or do not want to send all my
Pictures for verification and I get banned ? How to stop people who use fake pics, waste time, who are dirty and who just collect pictures.

Should be a meeting verification thing in the app. Can tell who is real about meeting and who is not

Instead of only the Grindr app icon having a discretion look, there are additional toggles which would change the UI for those that use the app in public settings that would benefit from a little more discretion. It would also take away the sometimes mortifying experience of opening a chat and seeing a nude pop up taking up the majority of the screen while on the bus. As Grindr becomes more and more normalized it’s appearance has started to become more and more recognizable, which is good for PR but not as good for discrete users, so with these options and maybe even a grid that looks slightly less recognizable, Grindr could continue to serve one of its initial audiences of men who are looking to explore their sexuality via chats or dates.
