Subject: Feature Request – Role-Based Visibility Filter

Hi Grindr Team,

I’d love to suggest a feature that would enhance the user experience for many of us. Currently, while we can filter who we see based on roles (Top, Bottom, Vers, etc.), there’s no option to control who sees us in return.

For example, as a Bottom, I’d prefer not only to see only Tops but also to be seen only by Tops—rather than appearing in the grids of other Bottoms or Vers users, who aren’t my preference. Similarly, Tops who want to see only Bottoms could choose to be visible only to Bottoms.

This would make matches more efficient and prevent unwanted interactions, ultimately leading to better connections. I know that the SURGE app has implemented this, and I found it extremely useful—but their user base isn’t as large as Grindr’s.

I hope you consider adding this as an optional setting so users have more control over their visibility and interactions. I truly believe it would make a huge difference in how people connect on the app.

Thanks for your time, and I appreciate all the work you do to improve Grindr!

Best,
Grindr User
