A lot of people complain about “headless torsos” to the point where it becomes a meme. There’s a whole subculture created around this one phenomena on the app. Seeing terms like “NPNC” is just as annoying as not finding the right guy but it’s unnecessarily outcry for control and disrespectful to those who have reasons for wanting to remain anonymous. Sharing our photos reveals a lot about a person and puts those of us who have jobs at risk. A lot of us don’t want to wear our sex lives like a billboard when we go about our daily lives. Respecting privacy choices should be something Grindr looks into.

There should be an option to take a photo within the app and choose a live filter that hides aspects of your face (blurs, banners, masks, etc). This would ensure real people through the use of exclusive filters much like Snapchat & Instagram.
