More accurate online status - Go offline when closing the app
After closing the app, the profile remains online for 10 minutes. It is misleading. People think that you are rude for not answering, when in reality you are not online.

I agree this 10 min thing is annoying chatting away waiting for a reply and they're offline.

I fully support this comment!
"Show online status ONLY while being online
Right now, if you log in only for a second, your profile still appears online for the next 10 minutes, after which it automatically says that you've been online 10 minutes ago.
I personally cannot see the purpose of this "fake" online time, now that we all get notified for a tap or a message. I find this misleading and in my experience it has caused a lot of fights about online time between jealous hookup partners :)
Please please please change this 10 minute online time!" -

You know, I find it baffling that with the ridiculous amount they decided to charge for their subscriptions ($19/$39 per month) that these issues wouldn’t be a problem. Like seriously, wtf are they doing with all that money. ‘Cause I sure the hell ain't paying $39 a month for an app that can’t even get rid of basic ass bugs. What is this Windows Vista?! GTFO

Online 200 miles away in message list. Offline 4500 feet away in favorites list. 1 mile away and online on the grid. Can there either be a universal refresh for the entire app, or can you pull the data from the same source across screens.

It’s sad that this isn’t a thing. It’s 2020 and this has been here since 2018. Come on Grindr you can do better

I agree. I don't necessarily want to be noticed everytime I get on to check messages

At present, the only way to log out of Grindr's service is to Force Stop the app. There is no option to Exit or Log Off. This presents a problem for a lot of people and needs to be addressed immediately ahead of other "new feature" requests.

I just discovered answer to my own question.....I wanted to delete a conversation from someone I didn't care for.. It seemed at first that the only way to do that was to delete your entire collection of messages...........NOT TRUE...go to screen with messages Read messages and DO NOT click on uppper right "Clear" (you'll lose all ) instead hold your finger on the one you want to delete...takes a second, but then swipe to left and the red delete slides in from right screen ... click on that and voila' , you've deleted the only one message and not the whole cache of messages.

Better yet, add an option for people to mark themselves as online/offline.
If they are online then they can chose if they are available (green) busy (red) or unavailable (offline -blank). That way people know whether or not to contact them.
Sometimes I log in and I'm just checking messages. So I'm not really available to chat with folks ( I'd mark myself as unavailable or busy). Or if I was about to start driving somewhere, I'd mark myself as busy until I got where I was going. Then when I was free I'd turn it green when I was up for conversation.

So the only way to go offline is remove the app altogether. Is that correct? I agree with the previous user if that is correct , yes it is rude and a nuisance.

Stop delaying offline status green light. Showing a profile as online 10 minutes after they have logged off is VERY FRUSTRATING!!

When you close the app, your profile should go offline without delay. The indicator should immediately go dark. Too often, guys think you're online for a full 10 minutes after you shut down the app. It's led to canceled interest in future contact since not every guy has figured this out.

First - Even if they are online dosent mean they are actually there, Best if they had a colored icon similar to skype on thair status (Green - Online/chatting, Red - Busy/away)
Second - I would like to add group chat with upto five other users or a chat room
Third - Prevent people messaging you for example, if your age range is 25-35 then no users under 25 or over 35 can bother you, only people within but if you message someone who is 24 or 36 that person will be able to reply back.
Forth - Get rid of those stupid tabs, its extremely annoying.
