Instagram link should require VERIFICATION
You should be required to VERIFY YOUR INSTAGRAM LINK with the login process!
(It's crazy to me that this is not in place like on Tinder)
Verification is so important, partly for our safety to avoid catfishers with malicious intent.
But most of all for the VICTIMS of identity theft and defamation. It's crazy to me that you will allow anyone to personate someone with a profile link.
There are so many people, straight and gay, that report this problem on public forums, and how this abuse is a big issue to them.
Grindr, you have a responsibility here!

I totally get the frustration with linking Instagram without verification. It can lead to issues with fake profiles and spam, which no one enjoys. On a similar note, if you're active on Instagram and want to make your stories more personalized, I recently found this cool resource on how to change your background color. It helped me make my stories more engaging and could come in handy for you too. Here’s the guide I used https://skylum.com/how-to/how-to-combine-photos-on-iphone-shortcut-app-guide Just something to check out!
