Grindr needs a privacy option between Hide and Block. Hide currently works only for profiles you have not chatted with, while Block removes the existing chat. Neither adequately addresses unwanted monitoring by someone you already know or have messaged.

For example, someone favorites my profile, watches for me to come online, repeatedly views my profile and sends messages despite being asked to ease up. Blocking can escalate a delicate personal situation. I want to use Grindr without signaling my availability to that specific person.

Please add “Quiet Hide” (Selective Incognito) to a profile or existing chat. When enabled:

• Remove both members from each other’s discovery grids and recommendations.
• Keep the other member’s existing Favorite and chat accessible, but show my account as offline to them, including in Favorites and conversations.
• Suppress online alerts, last-active updates, profile-view signals and other activity indicators for that account.
• Continue delivering messages without revealing the restriction; offer optional mute/archiving of that conversation.
• Send no notification that Quiet Hide was enabled.
• Let me manage a list of selected accounts and disable restrictions at any time, with optional 24-hour/7-day timers.

Enforce user-specific visibility rules on the server across discovery, presence, notifications and cached results, while preserving Favorites and chat records. Apply consistently across app versions and platforms.

This is not a substitute for Block or Report, and replying can still reveal activity. It simply prevents passive monitoring without creating an obvious confrontation. The essential privacy control should be available to all users; advanced scheduling or bulk controls could be premium.
