Bring Back Block Feature—A Critical Safety Tool
Grindr's recent removal of the 'block' feature in favor of 'hide' poses a significant safety risk for users who rely on clear boundaries. While 'hide' allows users to remain visible to potentially harmful individuals, the 'block' feature provided a much-needed, stronger barrier against harassment and stalking. For many users, the ability to completely sever contact with dangerous individuals is not just a convenience—it's a vital safety measure. Reintroducing 'block' would give users full control over their interactions and enhance their sense of security while using the app. Prioritizing safety by bringing back the 'block' feature will demonstrate Grindr's commitment to creating a secure environment for all users.

This change is ridiculous, if I don't want to see someone I don't want to simply 'hide' them, I choose to Block them. The changed 'Favorites' tab is useless too. Grindr don't just change things for the sake of it. Take things back to how they were. Is anyone listening? I somehow doubt it. 🤬

Ok, thecapp is ruined. Moving favorites tab, the new annoying ads that won’t go away, the exorbitant price for unlimited (which should be ad free!), the alerts that aren’t real, the selfish boost feature, the poorly thought out right now (no one is telling the truth there), Changing Block to Hide is absolutely last straw. I am cancelling and moving to other apps, where I can join two for the unlimited price here. Grindr you are not THAT popular you can’t listen to long time, top paying customers. I am out unless you roll these back.

Critical for safety and the USERS should choose who gets blocked, NOT the app/developers. The favorites tab, the "hide" feature and other recent updates have taken away functionality and choice from your app. This is NOT the way people!!!

What a terrible decision, made without regard for the safety of users, just to try to squeeze more cash out of queers.

I cannot believe this was even a CONSIDERATION to this app and very,very disappointed and honestly p*ssed off, again in Grindr for making this saftey issue for its users(Especially without notice or any memo in its placement ). I just today had a Dangerous person I had to legally take action against, see me and my close (pretty much DEAD ON) LOCATION and show up and long story short, damage some property, make a scene and now after relocating due.to this.guy... have a real bad situation and now, owe my nieghnors an explanation as too why whis happened. I just moves here.... sorry, long story brief ish..... disappointed grindr. Fee increased and basic BASIC BaSIC!!!!! Features now not only a paid feature, but not available at all anymore. *uck u guys sometimes. Sorry Grndr. Not happy with u rn.

The ability to block profiles is absolutely crucial in dating apps.
Every user MUST be able to decide for themselves who they are visible to.

Get rid of Hide, it’s completely useless. Block is safer and more useful.

I’m tired of paying a membership fee for this app. What a joke - increase the fee and find ways to take away the basic features. How about being innovative with something ‘new’ vs finding what you’re gonna takeaway or move under a new icon and confuse members??

Bring back the Block feature, it is important. Sometimes I get the 'block' option, sometimes 'hide' which doesn't always work! This is a critical feature, who's dumb idea was it to remove this? Angry 🤬

The choice to block is an essential function of any social media platform. The fact the developers thought they could remove the block button is ridiculous. As someone who gets harassed on this app it is impossible to use now, and I will be deleting my unlimited account.

Moronic to remove this feature. Seems like every few months Grindr makes us pay for something that was free 20 years ago on gaydar lmao

I don't know what I pay for, every day there are more functions that don't work, and it's getting slower.

It is clear that Grindr staff doesn't care this messages because no one reply was presented to some important issues.
Replacing block function with hide function limits the number of profiles one can see (unless one ha unlimited version)
In my are it means that black profile cannot be avoided and, therefore, the grid will be full og black profile and the app will be useless.

It doesn’t even work, I get it I’m a data engineer and work in this field but how is it that it’s suppose to not show me on their end but it still does and they can still message me. But if they do then I have the ability to block them? If it’s not broke don’t fix it. Sad to say I feel that if my team and I came in, we’d have all this taken care of in less than a week. I stopped paying for the app because I felt the money wasn’t actually going to the app but just in the companies pocket instead. I’m sure it’ll get worked out in the end but can you please get some engineers in there who know what they’re doing? When I say I could have my team fix it in a week, that should just go to show that no one knows what they’re doing.

I was looking for something uncomplicated and gambling, just to relax after work, and came across https://1win-mines-game.com/app/ I tried it and loved it! The game keeps you in suspense, but it doesn’t require complicated calculations. You just open the cells and hope for luck! It’s especially cool that you can control the level of risk yourself. I have already won several times – the emotions are inexpressible!
