They sign up ..chat for an hour..then go ghost... Not sure if they are uninstalling the app or going airplane on a spare phone. But you can't look at the profile when you click it. It does nothing.. makes me wonder WHOS watching ..lots of haters out there and it's getting worse

For verification purposes. Like tinder and MOST other dating/hookup apps have some sort of photo verification system to prove that it’s actually who you say you are. I am SO SICK OF ALL THESE USERS ON GRINDR WITH NO PHOTOS! in my opinion, I think it should be a requirement that if you want to be on Grindr then you need to have a clear, visible unaltered face picture of what you look like, so other members can see who all is in the room AND it’s especially annoying when those exact people with no pictures on their profile go and message someone….. leaving the receiver confused, frustrated and wondering what this person looks like…. Honestly, it’s really just frocking COMMON SENSE AND RESPECT. I mean if you’re that afraid to put your face pic on Grindr, then maybe YOU shouldn’t be on the GAY app! Just sayin’! And I know I’m not speaking for just myself either! PLEASE GRINDR SOFTWARE APPLICATION DEVELOPER- PLEASE 🙏 HELP TO MAKE GRINDR A BETTER PLACE FOR EVERYONE TO FEEL COMFORTABLE, without having to worry about if their going to be “the next one” to be messaged by the DREADFUL pic less profile person. Thank you!

Photo Verification provides an opportunity for you to show potential matches you’re really you. To get verified, you’ll submit a short video selfie that we’ll compare to your profile photos. We use a combo of trusty humans and facial recognition technology to compare the facial geometry in the selfies you submit and in your profile pics.
