I don't have a face pic in my profile because of all the creeps in the area However the first message I send to anyone is a face pic. Not everyone is out yet or feels safe having their face out there for everyone and quite frankly they shouldn't have to if they don't want to

If you are looking for face pics and partners go to tinder or such! Grindr is site to find like minded people to find play friends some people have said i am good looking and others have a different opinion. pics can be exchanged in private msgs there are so many no pic and not stat profiles, i generally ignore. before mandatory face pic should be stats, as all like a "type" which is more important than a face pic!

With the emphasis on the face. I’m so sick and tired of getting peoples pictures of their ass or whatever they decide to show that should not be shown as their profile picture

A lot of user discriminate on age and looks. People who are discreet require you to have a face pic. Most people won't post a face pic because they rather remain unknown but want to hookup with can end up with people being robbed by gay bashers and pedophiles

People should show face picture

They already have a filter. I can't post a face pic or even share one. But I'm upfront about that in my profile and I don't message guys first. It works just fine as it is

Not today ☺️

Have an option to where you can enable only those with face pics to send you a message. This would greatly benefit a lot of users.

Blank profiles, especially those with no effort in their profiles, should not be able to use Grindr the same as users with profile pictures, bios, stats etc.
Limit the features that they can use. For example, only 3 chats daily, no taps, no filters, can only interact with other blank profiles etc etc.

I have a full profile, clear face pic,several, and I hate that lurkers with no face pice, no profile can access my profile. I want to block all people with no clear face pic as well as block everyone with blank profiles. Why do they get access to the rest of us? #BlockLurkers

I understand Apple’s app guidelines are a living document and their updates permit more skin and body reveal, provided their genitalia are hidden, but there needs to be additional filters. Just like how there is a face pic only filter, can we have a clothed filter: where ass cheeks are not visible in their profile pic or a stuffed bulge speedo. Options are better than hedonistic pollution.

All the faceless profiles losing their minds in the comments. 😂 Grow up.

Yes, it would be a great idea in Saudia Arabia and Afganistan.

Being perved on by faceless profiles is unsettling and not something we should have to experience. Currently the blanks can remain invisible to users with face pictures, but not the other way around and that's not fair. Adding the suggested feature/filter would let face pic users engage with each other free from the harassment/spam/disappointment of faceless messages.

I think not. Privacy is an important choice. Even match.com has no such requirement.

I guess you don't believe in discreet. You can pay for grindr and get the option to see only profiles with face pics. This isn't really needed.

Face ID to unlock app.

Takes way longer than an hour! I have the feeling they are not being approved at all.

If people are on grinder in the first place, the only people on here are other people who are interested in the same things. I highly doubt people are going to go tell someone’s mother or spouse that they met them on a gay hook up app because then they would have to be missed that they were on that app as well. People need to stop being so paranoid. If you’re not willing to show a picture then you shouldn’t be using this app

Agree!!
