Subject: Feature idea – mandatory first-photo + built-in privacy lighting for discreet users

Hi Grindr team,

Problem
• Chats often stall because one side has to ask for basic photos.
• Discreet users worry about screenshots or someone photographing their phone.

Idea
• Require at least one visible face/body photo in the main grid.
• Add a “privacy light” layer: in-app pics can’t be screenshotted. If another device’s camera points at the screen, the image whites out (using screen-door pattern or light-sensor trigger).

Benefits
• Faster, safer matches → less spam, ghosting, catfish.
• Protects discreet users without hiding them.
• Differentiates Grindr from rivals.

Happy to clarify any of this. Thanks for building a better app!

Best
Nori J. A. D.
