Stricter verification
I would like for Grindr to implement stricter verification for new and existing users in an effort to combat underage individuals posing as adults, bots, etc. I've heard a number of stories of men who have chatted with individuals who they thought were of legal age, only to find out upon meeting them that they're some horny teen. I'm proposing the implementation of verification measures such as ID (Government issued, driver's license, passport, etc), bank account, submitting a facial selfie with a piece of paper visible displaying a verification code, email verification, as well as changing the age requirements to make it so users must be 21 or older to join Grindr. If this is implemented, I'm hoping this sparks a new trend across the internet where sites implement strict verification measurements in an effort to keep minors off the internet.
I'd also like for all new and existing profiles be required to have face pictures of the user with a verification code displayed, with failure to do so resulting in immediate account termination. It should also be a requirement for both new and existing members to fill out their profiles as well

The verification option should be given to the users that pay for Grindr and when they meet a user on here that isn’t a verified user then they will be able to verify that user as genuine. We all know that Grindr is full of bots and fake profiles this feature will help highlight the fake profiles and bots. The verification of a user will result in a black tick with orange around it on the search screen next to the favourite star option. Users would be able to leave comments about the user they have met but will be in there profile bio. All verified users will have the option to have these comments on display for other users to see.

Every profile should show the date it was created, like Hornet does. I find it easier to spot fakes when I see that it was created hours ago and has just one generic photo.
