Grindr provide reminders about getting a tested regularly for HIV and STIs but doesn’t allow you to screen out those that don’t. I think there should be an option to screen out those that aren’t taking safety precautions.

The problem with this is the person who you’ve gotten the exposure from probably didn’t know he had an STD, nor did you know you were exposed before being made aware of it. The time between being exposed to STDs and actually knowing to have it is likely to be weeks to some months. So if you were to be exposed to HIV, you wouldn’t know that until actually being made aware of it, which could take some months. That way everyone would always put down they are STD free, which would promote false idea of being in an STD free environment and possibly create a hostile environment for the infected to make former bed partners aware of their exposure.

A filtering option to look for prep users would be helpful to meet people who take prep. I face discrimination for taking prep by non prep users so it would nice to meet prep users and a filter would be very helpful

I have a fear after getting std in 2021 from someone through Grindr, it made my life hell for 3 months when I found std in my test, i appreciate if you could make it mandatory to put std and hiv status while joining the app.
We all should date responsiby not playing with someone,

The ability to implement contact tracing.

1. The ability to save hookups to profile along with the date of hookup(s)
2. Send an automated message from Grindr (to maintain anonymity of positive sexual partner), text message and/or email if they have provided one that informs them a previous hookup has tested positive for whatever STI.

This is important as many (probably most) Grindr users do not exchange contact information which makes notifying previous partners impossible through existing notification services.

The current outbreak of Monkeypox highlights the importance of contact tracing in preventing and hopefully eliminating disease.

A feature that when hook up with someone can confirm it on grindr and it sits in the background. Then should a person test positive for any STI they can insert it into the option and anyone since thr last test will be notified they have been in contact with someone who has tested positive. Removes the stigma and panic of having to tell people and promotes sexual health

With this kind of verification we can start monitoring and reducing std and hiv transmission within the gay community. Let’s make safer sex safe again.

Actualmente en la aplicación hay muchos tíos que tienen VIH y están manteniendo relaciones sexuales con gente sin indicar si son positivos o no, por ello solicitaría que fuese requisito obligatorio el indicar si estas o no infectado. Por ello, si mienten sería un delito por ocultar una enfermedad que es de alteración para salud pública

It would also be great to have an option that says only show my profile to verified users. I have more spam activity than real activity.

It would be great to verify a users age and photo. These do not have to be exposed in a profile but if a user does expose their age it would be nice to know it was accurate.

They have a search feature.

No users have a right to privacy, this isn't a government app or rmv.

YES! Thank you. So tired of “discretion” or catfishing blank profiles.
This app needs to grow and mature.

While I do think grindr needs to take some action to more responsibly address the public health impacts of its service, I do not think an imposed isolation is the answer.

Please allow to use fake gps. It's important to hide our actual place for safety concerns.

I’m honestly blown away that I can’t put a four leaf clover emoji in my display name. Or a tree. Or a leaf. Or a cloud. The Grindr mods are obviously suffering from reefer madness. How embarrassing and laughable in this day and age. Over 2/3 of the US population lives in states with legal cannabis. But Grindr, a company that sells a hook up app that enables spouses to cheat and STDs to spread like wildfire, is puritanical about marijuana. Again, how embarrassing and laughable.

Stop micromanaging your users self expression. It’s shameful.

Rest my Grindr app all work

Open

How would scammers, haters, fakes, abusers, and all those nice people survive if there was some kind of verification? Grindr will not be interested in this.

Facial verification, to rid the app if catfish people & bots. For a simpler and safer experience.
