When you receive a high volume of messages on Grindr, especially as a free user without Boost, it becomes difficult to keep track of conversations. This is particularly true with accounts that have no name, no photo, or constantly changing profiles.

For example, I recently lost a conversation where I had made plans, and I only found it again by chance when clicking into a random blank profile that happened to be the same person. In busy cities with high app activity, this kind of problem happens often.

A solution would be to allow users to assign private nicknames or labels to chats. For example, I could rename “Looking Now” to “Masc Host CBD” so I immediately recognize them later. This would:

Help organize chats and avoid confusion when dealing with multiple blank profiles.

Provide consistency when people change their display name or photo.

Make it easier to remember important details from previous conversations.

This feature exists in other messaging apps, and bringing it to Grindr would make the chat experience much smoother and more user-friendly.

You could only allow people to set nicknames on private accounts and that is fine too, you can label accounts that have no image and no name, most of the time no age, so they all appear as an identical account, its ridiculous implement this now its one parameter for the signed in user to configure per account if selected, store nicknames in the cache on the signed in users phone. No need for a new storage solution.
