Screenshot Notifications/Blocking
Users should be notified of/have the ability to block other users from non-consensual screenshots of the photos we send, our chats, and our profiles.

Screenshots feature is important because grindr doesn't save our chats on their clouds, and when we change device and login or install grindr app again ,our chats are gone , so this is why its important

Right as you get the app you should be required to submit a face picture taken from your camera at that moment. It does not have to be your picture for your profile but it should be used to check against future pictures that are posted. Similar to Snapchat you should get a notification if someone screenshots a picture you sent them or just block the ability to screenshot in general. This will help by knowing who has your pictures so you can somewhat protect yourself. It’s been happening for months to me where a friend texts me saying are you on grindr? Which I’m not. And saying that there is a fake profile using my face pictures. This issue needs to be addressed in someway because this could affect many relationships.

I think Grindr can have the same built-in feature as Jackd that prevents users from screenshotting while on the app, to prevent their chat conversations or pictures from being uploaded onto Tumblr, Twitter, Reddit, etc.

I really think that picture theft is a huge problem of Grindr. There are many users that use false profiles in order to get picture of other users and save them as screenshots. This is extremely annoying and more than once made we want to not use Grindr anymore. Now, it shouldn't be difficult to prevent picture theft; other app indeed (e.g. Jack'd) don't allow users to take screenshot pictures. I strongly believe that Grindr shoud adopt this type of mechanisms to protect his users and provide so a better service.
