Allow more privacy when using Grindr in public ( change color scheme, remove "Grindr" from discreet app, etc)
When using Grindr it has a bold yellow scheme design which, thanks to negative media reporting on some horrific Grindr dates gone wrong, means that many people now recognise the App and it’s colour scheme. I’d prefer to browse or send messages more discreetly if I’m in a public place so please can I change the coulour scheme through settings? I already feel I need to hide the App as it’s too bold & distinctive. In responding to this, Please don’t lecture me about being out & proud.

You have the DAI, but when notificatíons pop up ,it always says Grindr. It should match the DAI that is chosen.

Si nos dán la ventaja de utilizar un icono diferente al de “Grindr” por privacidad, deberían quitarnos también el nombre, como lo hacen en Android...

Hide app name “Grindr” as it is easily recognisable.

I think since you can be able to change the icon of the all I think you should be able to change the name of the app so when you get a notification on your phone instead of it saying Grindr it should say a name you want if your discreet

Since we have the option to change the apps appearance it be nice to be able to change its name because no matter the icon it will still say grinder so anyone who is looking for the app on someone’s phone they will know what the name is at least and it’s not really worth doing to change the look if they can still know it’s grinder

Being able to change the name of the icon when you edit your home screen would be great, especially for those of us who need to be extremely discrete about it

There is an option to change the picture of the icône of the application fore discretion on the phone. But on iPhone we can’t change also the name « Grindr » by something else whereas on other phone, we can do it :/

I completely agree! Especially as an unlimited subscriber. Disguising the app to a green icon defeats the object when we open it and it’s all black and yellow. Please could We have some more discreet colour schemes, white & blue, black & green, or Our own custom colour background and text?

You can change the notifications and alert tones from going into your app settings. I'm only going by android but it's a lot less obvious. Colour changing is a good idea for sure. But the sound way much more a giveaway lol

Good point.
The icon disguising was a great feature but as soon as one opens the app that high contrast blue-orange-black chat window is a dead giveaway.
I would love a grey-blue-white(iMessage) option so I look like I’m replying to texts from my mom not cruising for *** with strangers. -

This has to done - let us chose what colour/skin we want - it will make using it more discreet - and also let us choose from a selection of notification sounds (not just the standard one or nothing) as the current one is a dead giveaway and can be quite **** embarrassing and awkward!!!

The app already has a stigma - Since we able to change the logo. Can we also change the name to hide the app on our devices etc

Create a way to chat via sms so you don’t have to always have the obvious screen of guys up that everyone can see.

At the moment, the Grindr name will remain on screen when Discreet App Icon is on.
