Hi Grindr Team,

I’m using Grindr on an iPhone 15, and I have two major concerns regarding notifications and privacy.

1. Custom notification sounds: When I’m using the app, the notification sound I selected in Grindr’s settings works correctly. However, when I’m not using the app, incoming notifications play the default Grindr notification sound instead. This can make people around me suspicious that I’m using Grindr. Please allow users to use their selected notification sound even when the app is running in the background.

2. Discreet app icon and name: Grindr offers a discreet app icon, but the app’s name still appears as “Grindr” underneath the icon on my iPhone. This defeats the purpose of having a discreet icon. Please allow users to change both the app icon and its displayed name to something more discreet.

These two improvements would make a significant difference to user privacy and make Grindr safer and more comfortable to use in shared spaces.

Thank you for considering these suggestions!
