Allow Cross Platform Logins and Backup
I have 2 devices, 2 subscriptions, 1 Apple, 1 Android. I cannot restore the subscriptions if I switch them unless I'm on the device I used to register the subscription.
Additionally I cannot backup/restore the chat across platforms, they have to stay Android/Apple focused.
In essence when you buy a subscription, it's not YOU that's subscribed, it's the DEVICE you're using.
Fix it by allowing a login to your XTRA account on any device regardless of platform, and allow chat BACKUP to one solitary solution, e.g Google Drive, OneDrive, iCloud - but don't make it a mandatory selection based on your device. If you sell your Android and move to iPhone you lose EVERYTHING with Grindr.
Very poor software design - lazy in the extreme!!!

Scruff has had this solved since I dunno V2, and their premium is far for affordable and allows for almost identical features. Get it together Grindr

It's 2023 and they still haven't figured it out. Not happening. Use Sniffies.com better than Grindr.

Obviously there's no (easy) way to access iCloud data from an Android device, but it doesn't seem unreasonable to either allow iOS apps to backup to Google Drive, or to offer some kind of backup export to allow sending a backup between platforms.
The backup file could even be encrypted with an account specific key if one of the hang ups is not wanting users to be able to easily mess with or extract data from backups
