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

En la ciudad de Medellin Colombia nos están matando por medio de Grindr y creo que deberían pedir verificación a cada usuario y documento de identidad por foto, además deberían guardar historial para un eventual proceso judicial. Por nuestra seguridad!

a quick feature that allows your to share your contact details with someone you interested in meeting up with, in terms of safety maybe verify number and make sure it cannot be used on multiple profiles, ALSO Maybe introduce a contacts section on grindr that will allow us to communicate with people we are no longer close to or whose chats we have lost.

Sooooo... 20 year olds shouldn't be allowed to use grindr??? Saying a 20 year old isn't capable or mature enough to use a hookup app is just ridiculous. Yes, I know the legal age is 21 in some places, but I'm talking about the places where it's 18 to 20.

Everyone should be required to verify that they are who they say they are and the age they say they are before they can use the app. This is a dating/hookup app. Any dating/hookup app should have ID verification to make sure no one under 18 can use the app and potentially ruin someone's life. Verification would also keep people safe from people who lie about their age and lie about who they are to get with them. I'm surprised Grindr doesn't have any verification at all, which it really should. Only thing close to age verification is the date of birth input on account creation which is not enough since people can just lie about their age and put in a different date of birth from their own. This needs to happen to make using this app safer.

I think it should be a good idea too use a credit or debit card too verify the users age. There's alot of minors on this app. I think it would filter out the
minors using this app and better verify the user. I think this would make the platform adult friendly. There's also alot of sting operations for pedophiles on this app. I think the credit card or debit card verification would make this platform more secured. -

Y’all need to verify pictures faster. Y’all be taking to long to verify just one picture. Some of us would like to hook up right away but we can’t do that wen y’all take a million years to verify one picture. Who agree?

It’s not about bots. Those are obvious. It’s about sick individuals playing other people and pretending to be someone they are not!

Absolutely agree with Will H. I've trying to prevent a guy -who I had met before- to contact me again, as he appears to refuse respecting my decision of not talking anymore. There's no way to achieve it as he just keep on sending me messages from one account after another one that I have previously blocked...and it's over and over. I've already asked for help to grindr support and hopefully they will help me to find a solution kind of reasonable. Thanks.

Porque não cria um quadro onde as pessoas postam comentários e avaliam as pessoas com quem ficou além de responder se a pessoa da foto era a mesma com quem saiu seria ótimo podemos ver com quantas pessoas do aplicativo ela já saiu assim saberíamos que o perfil não è falso

Porque o aplicativo não passa a solicitar o carteira de identidade da pessoa com isso saberíamos que aquela pessoa se identificou além disso deveria ter a opção encontro assim se eu marca e a outra pessoa marca essa opção seria mandado uma foto minha que comprova que sou eu mesmo além. Disso deveria ter um algoritmo para analizar perfil com foto fake ou captura de. Tela se passando por outra pessoa

You should confirm profiles which use social media in order to avoid fake profiles

To verify age, there should be a MANDATORY ID verification. Just like when you buy alcohol, the user must scan their drivers license/state ID/passport as opposed to just saying they are an age they are not. The ID would not be stored in a cloud or anything but saved long enough to prove age. If an ID cannot be provided, registration will not be continued and processed. For those with pre-existing accounts, they will be given an allotted amount of time to scan and submit identification or have there account deactivated. I understand the freedom this app provides with discretion and identity but more needs to be done to protect the users that can fall victim to lying underage people and can potentially face jail time

A opção bloquear o perfil de outra pessoa está com bug. A maioria das pessoas que foram bloqueada são desbloqueadas sem minha solicitação. Eu verifiquei que essa situação está ocorrendo também com outro usuários do App. Ou seja, a opção bloquear não está funcionando perfeitamente, o bloqueio é temporário. Em poucos dias o perfil bloqueado volta a aparecer novamente, sendo assim essa opção não está sendo útil para nada. O que será que os desenvolvedores do grindr estão fazendo para melhorar isso?

Is there anyway possible to add a feature where you can display a possible fake account or add a button to mark an account and verify that we can see. So when a person comes up and is marked as possible fake or spam we can ignore him or her. So our time isn’t wasted by thinking you’re going to go out on a date or hook up with somebody great. Even a rating marking a possibility of being Catfished wood be good.

Gostaria de sugerir a implementação de um sistema de verificação da identidade dos usuários, a fim de que toda foto, principalmente as que expõem os rostos, fossem analisadas e verificadas, evitando com isso os "fakes" e comportamentos abusivos por parte dos maus usuários.
