sort distance by square mile sectors
any person can quite easily triangulate your location, usually your home, by driving around and checking your distance. even with distance off, they can see your distance relative to other people on tne browse tab.
very recently, someone has been claiming to be stalking me by finding my home with the distance feature. after looking this up, the fact that this is possible is horrifying and incredibly unsafe.
the easy fix would to, instead of measuring your exact location, snap to the center of a 1 or even 2 Mi² area that you are inside. this means you can only be tracked to perhaps a neighborhood.
also randomise the arrangement in the browse menu of people with distance off. the fact that you can still be tracked is silly

Please don't.
I live near a city, so every meter would be important.
Maybe make it a feature to be chosen in the profile settings, if someone has the problem of being stalked. But honestly, Grindr does round the distances. Whenever I don't move but refresh the grid, the distances are slightly different. There is no way someone can be located exactly with grindr
