What is your biggest pain point on the app right now?

Search by free-form text in profile bios

Would be great to be able to search for key words in profiles.
Please make profiles free-form text searchable so we can find better matches and increase connections, whether that be for hookups, friends, dates, networking, and/or relationships.
Searching by tags is a step in the right direction—thank you—but it’s too confining and unreliable :/

    Hello, I am French and I would like to report a bug concerning the conversation search bar which crashes the app when there are more than 3 characters searched. It would be nicer to be able to search a whole word for future updates. Thank you for your consideration !

    Being able to have a tab where you can search for hotels or establishments for a sexual encounter, fun, food, travel, etc. near our location . Esto también ayudaría a poder estar un poco más seguros al contar con la ubicación.

    I'm missing the search for ethnicity in the filter function..

    Hi everyone,

    We have just released a new feature called tags! We have tags that cover a variety of interests and intos and will be releasing more as we hear your feedback! We believe this will allow our users to more easily find and connect with others who are interested in the same things.

    This feature is currently available in the US, but soon to be worldwide! You can find out more information about the feature here: https://help.grindr.com/hc/en-us/articles/1500011370182--My-Tags

    And by "profile bios" I am referring to users' "About Me" section, in case anybody needs clarification on that*

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    True. Perhaps just have a name search function and leave the rest to the filters which are already managed

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    The problem with this is you will then have profiles/people coming up with keywords and very soon cliques/groups/etc are made.
    No different than searching by race/ethnicity

    I voted for this last year and it still hasn’t been implemented. It should be a feature for unlimited users.

    Why doesnt grindr listen?

    personally, i can see grindr only doing this for unlimited/xtra users unfortunately.

    Bots don't need free form text to find you: they aim for every profile they can see. For non-bots, those who wouldn't want to be found via profile text criteria can just leave their profile empty.

    Why? So Bots can find U easier?

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    No thank you. I already get enough fake profiles and scammers without letting people outside my area frivolously contact me.

    This is why you need a “VOTE NO” option.
