Immediately improve the user experience by limiting the ways in which fake profiles destroy the community. I’ve been cat-fished multiple times, daily, since installing the app. It’s borderline traumatizing to be constantly screwed with in this manner.
Fix it!

Deberían empezar a verificar perfiles y no permitir perfiles sin foto, hay mucho robo de identidad y muchos delitos fuertes por culpa de esos perfiles, grindr, pongan verificación de rostro, yo se que es perder usuarios, pero ustedes tienen una responsabilidad social y todos los delitos que se han generado gracias a esto es con la app que ustedes desarrollan.

To be honest and Frank I'd verification isn't a recognised form for identifying criminal or illegal activities and if you really think that it will cut down crime and the fraudsters or bots it doesn't it's the same as any other crime that has been subject to law alterations or even the sentences being increased. Crime pays whether they are straight bisexual gay or something else it's entirely likely that the person committing a offence to someone on grindr isn't necessarily the person who you have messaged it is most likely to be a person whom they are affiliated with. And there is no way to be verified anonymously because the idea behind online verification is that the profile picture is not a blank space and who is going to be required to provide the verification for someone who is desceet for perfectly valid reasons somehow I don't think grindr would be permitted to verify who your talking to and the discreet profile isn't going to send.
So don't get me wrong any thing which is proven to be effective in safe guarding yourself and property am all for it but if grindr is considering this then what happens to all the profiles that are genuinely need to be discreet and they would have to either be non discreet or not be allowed to register. You can't have 50% of the total profiles all verified and the rest not wanting to for various reasons some might call it discrimination of sorts.Personally grindr should have an appointed team that actually verify the profile itself because how they can ban you for being an escort or a rewards guy or a spam when half of the profiles are already stating that they are wanting cash.
Anyway good luck have a lovely walk and use the video call function simple verification process to hand and if they refuse then it's your risk

Not entirely sure how to classify this request. Could you relocate the HIV status portion of the profile to a more prominent location so that people don't miss it. I know that there will always be people who simply do not read profiles - but there will be somewhat less of an excuse when its not buried at the bottom. I've actually had people attempt to report me to the state health department for not disclosing something that has been in my profile for years simply because it was so far down in the profile text that they never noticed it.
Thanks.

Verified identity icon on the profile. We need a process in place where you can submit a photo of yourself to verify the photo on your profile is authentic.

Recently, someone using a fake account lured me in to share photos and right up until the moment he was supposed to "come over", attempted to "s"extort us into paying him/her money. If profiles were validated by grindr, this would keep the spam and scams to a minimum. Here we are, 48 hours later and the profile is still up and running after I've reported it with proof. It's time for grindr to start verifying accounts as a requirement. If someone can't screenshot their drivers license, along with a photo of themselves to verify, they don't need an account.

At the very least, requiring users to send a selfie matching a selected pose or phone text verification like badoo would be helpful

It would help combat profiles that are fakes that just want to fish people or who wish to do lgbtq people harm using fake accounts that aren't verified so that they can cause people harm.

Also a way to verify the actual or selected date of birth ensuring that the users are the appropriate age since this app has access to send private photos that could contain nudity.
