Delivery & read receipt reliability improvements
Fix the message delivery status and read receipt bugs. The message status should update to "Delivered" once it has been delivered, and to "Read" once it's been opened.
The status of a sent message is supposed to change from Sent to Delivered if the recipient has the app open, but many times I’ve seen people online even hours or days later, and my message still shows as Sent, leading me to assume they haven’t got it. So I send another message, which led to one guy telling me I’m impatient. This bug, combined with Grindr often losing messages altogether, keeps us wondering whether guys have gotten our message or whether they replied to it but I didn’t get it. As a result, they might think you don’t want to talk to them anymore and block you, or you might assume they are ignoring you and block them.
All paid features (such as read receipts) should be reliable, and so should messaging in general. Delivery and read receipts should be 99.9% accurate. These problems have resulted in a lot of frustration and missed connections.

I pay for grindr extra as well and grindr is just holding onto my **** messages and I am really trying to talk to someone that I've been talking to for days. They probably just think I'm a huge ******* **** and ignoring them. Fu grindr.

Same here. Messages are 'sent'. Users I know and am also talking to through other (working) apps are online. But messages are simply not never delivered. Takes away the whole point of the Grindr app doesn't it? When will this be fixed?!

Yes. The problem is, it is not a person I just want to hook up with. I've already met them, and they wanted to meet me again, but... grindr stopped passing my messages to them. They haven'T blocked me, because they are still on the grid.

New version of Grindr won't work on my 2 devices, just get a black screen. I was using an old version but now it is disabled by Grindr's central server and won't work. Good bye Grindr.

With the new update allowing users to see the status of a message. This is still not 100% reliable as I have messages showing the status as sent even though the person is online. Outlined in the user guide, a message will show as delivered once the recipient has the app open. If they are online, why does the message not change to delivered? Improve what you already have before adding more features

Sent = it's out there

Show us when someone has read our message, and what time they read it.

Messages for free users currently say they don't send even when they do. Also maybe have a "most likely to respond" feature.
