"blocking" has a discriminatory connotation, like slamming a door in front of so. nose. I am quite sure that people would choose preferably the "hiding" option. "Hiding" will be seen as "search optimisation" and not as discrimination.

I think hiding could be useful opposed to blocking individuals you have previously chatted with... The ones that the second you log on are always like "hi. Hi. HI!"... I don't want to block these guys per se but i dont want them to know my online status... I want to hide from them and only appear online when i initiate conversation... To many clingy guys... Also... Remind me to stop giving my phone number to these types! Lol

Hello Grindr

I also request this feature to help with the mental health of your users.. i am sure you are aware how these dating apps can be detrimental to the mental health of us gay men seeking friendships, and approval. On the frequent occasions that our advances are rebuffed or worse yet ignored completely I would wish to have a HIDE FILTER option to no longer see this person that I really like… To keep hope alive that maybe one day they might reconsider, I want them to still see me while I no longer see them… unless I decide to… The act of BLOCKING a person is extreme, is a negative experience and I prefer to only use a block when someone is being intentionally mean, or is a criminal, or refuses to accept my polite decline…. in only this case does a block make sense to me. For my mental health, I do not want to see all the men i am attracted to on the page in front of me like a who’s who of rejection… but like I said, I want them to still see me to reconsider…I want to keep HOPE alive!! Blocks take away my hope. I am sure you have an army of psychologists that know this. Please consider adding a simple filter button “this guy is not interested - remove him from my view”. in this way I can move on without becoming hopeless and can focus on the men who might make me happy. This small change would go a long way towards helping improve the mental well being of Grindr users. I hope that our well being is of the highest priority for the creators of Grinder. I really would appreciate your help with this. Other apps already offer this common sense feature. Thanks 😃

This idea would help me for the rare times I'm in the mood ro be topped by a hairy large guy for example :)

Add a feature that is like viewing profiles of a certain age but have it so only profiles of a certain age can only see your profile so say j set it at 18-24 only people of those ages can see my profile - furthemore this will narrow it down for people you are looking for

Could have an option to hide the profile picture when we get a notification. I use an Apple Watch and when a notification arrives that I'm going to look at the watch, a large profile picture of the person who sent me the message appears and this photo is not always appropriate to be displayed with people around. If I could hide the photo in notifications (as well as in the competing app with the letter S) it would be perfect.

I wish I could hide somenone's profile from the nearby list without having to block it >;) Please help us!!

Thart would be great!!! Please do something like it!!

It would be great if I could hide profiles and then toggle hidden profiles on and off with a filter that would be ideal.

I dont want to be seen within 5 miles radius where I live. Please implement blackout for the specific are around the place where we live

I live in a very small town and want to be able to hide my profile from those that are too close to me. I'm not "out" and have a hard time uploading info to my profile for fear that it will be too identifying to those that are nearby.

Please add the option to hide some profiles we don't want to see anymore in the grid without blocking that person. Some people use block button when they don't like a guy, but is better hide instead of block.

This is badly needed in my opinion. I end up deleting a profile when I’d like a week off or some other arbitrary amount of time. Logging out isn’t the same and is a bad alternative, id prefer to disappear from the app completely while it’s disabled, not still showing up on people’s favorites, still able to receive messages and such.

Every other app seems to have it.

It would be very nice to hide the profiles under a specified age group that we dont like. The hidden profile should not see our profiles.

Eg:- I dont like 18- 39 age group. So I hide this age group and they should not see my profile. The rest of people can see my profile.

Put in place a Hide or Disable Profile. For example, if you want to take a break and not completely delete your profile. Scruff, Bumble, and Tinder all have this option. When this feature is enabled, your profile is not searchable or viewable to anyone. You are completely hidden. Then when you are ready to go back, you can simply unhide your profile and still have your previous messages in your chat area. This makes it easy for people when they want to take a break but not delete their entire profile so they don’t lose chats.
