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

Get rid of anonymous empty profiles. No pictures, no profile, no verification. A great invitation for illicit activity and crime.

Shit down grindr because so many relationships are ruined by yiur apo and it’s features. Like incognito. The only person who wouid want to use that is a cheating scumbag like my ex to inflict pain not on the outside but on the inside of a good honest person my best friend took his own life because grindr was the main issue in his bf cheating, spreading lies about him, and also allowed him to fake many fake accounts worh my friends pics to embarrass him .my friend couldn’t take it anymore. Makes me very angry. This is a app for cheaters and not good honest gay men

CATCHFISH button to temporarily reverse a block. Send alert report incident along with notes and full conversation.
Catfish seem interest in you. Gain your trust so you send him photos and/or address info. VANISH or Block, leaving you vulnerable.

Sempre que vou enviar fotos a alguém, até mesmo pra foto de perfil, aparece a seguinte mensagem: "Nenhum app pode realizar esta ação." Isso está acabando com meu perfil me impedindo de diversos encontros e não consigo arrumar e não achei ninguém que consiga até hj

This is probably the most important thing to do because of fake profiles.. Some situations are dangerously bad

Require photos of personal ID to be submitted for profile validation of real people, aside from security reasoning for the trolls making threats/stalking/harassment, they're info gets directed to they're local law enforcement when they make threats or start stalking. Let alone it'll prevent annoying dumbass kids from flooding the app.

Hello, good afternoon. I would like to tell you some ideas of things that you could implement on Grindr -Night and day option in the appearance of the app -Be able to verify the profile, so we avoid fake profiles -Being able to access all the same chat using another device, and that it is also possible if it is a different operating system such as: iOS and Android. Because when I open my grindr profile on another device the conversations don't appear, I have to make the backup, but if I open it on a device with another operating system the backup doesn't work. -Being able to link a profile, for example if I have met a person, being able to send them a request to have it linked to my profile and me to theirs, thus giving the profile an importance, so we can see that the person is real and that they have already hanging out with other people. Function also already existing in Gay R.

This is a simple “login with Instagram” integration. Making anyone link to anyone’s Instagram is a terrible idea.

As a user I want to confirm another users identity/accuracy of photos by having them snap a photo doing a pose/holding a sign with a word that I choose, or a brief realtime video chat . It's realtime and I chose the word/pose so they don't have time to Photoshop or anything.

Everyone on this app needs to be ID verified too many sex offenders and rapists on here using pictures of people you may now...so that being stated a self picture a MUST No blank pictures or nameless accounts No pictures of any scenery, cars, characters, celebrities or letters a legal name MUST be a requirement and legal age verification just like any other social media site porn restrictions must apply and to send these types of pictures a fee must be paid

Mettere l'obbligo di verificarsi o avere almeno una foto privata verificata da inviare.. in modo da poterla richiedere tra utenti quando inizia una chat..

So has few pics dont ser the point. Also asked to share location.
IM going to encourage other users to send the pics to me and have rhem as a live profile.
Grindr please look at a picture Hub in your server that all.pics as they are sent pass through and perhaps attach a reverse IP address to the file before users can send onwards.
Here is the lovely chao. Kicking myself as i recognised his other pics. Of course might not be him

People having multiple profiles on this site and harassing other constantly, when you block one profile,they use another profile to continue the harassment,, Only one profile per number should be allowed,no email account because the do create multiple emails in order to have multiple accounts

Grindr needs to add a age verification setting on the app! To many minors on Grindr!!!

A person needs to verify his/her/their profile is authentic by sending you a code that needs to be put as a watermark on two face pictures (with poses that you guys at Grindr will determine). The pictures needn't made to be public but only for verification process. Once the verification process is complete the person will have a mark on the profile which will mean this person is real. If the person tries to ad more than 1 person on a profile picture the picture must be declined even if they are a married couple, each one should verify his identity.

I know it's probably been suggested but 2 step verification is the best way to stop bots posting spam links. Please listen to your users and get it done
