To cut down on crime; fake profiles and stolen pictures. Members should be verified it can be done securely online and still permit anonymity. There have been several reports of individuals using pictures as a way to lure unexacting victims to crimes such as robbery; burglary. It has happened to me and others I’ve connect with on this app. Giving members the option and opportunity to be verified and to meet other verified individuals will cut down on the usage of stolen profile pictures; fake pictures and crime. No one wants to talk about gay on gay crime. And the amount of crime affiliated with the Grindr app. Identification Verification could potentially save a life!

The amount of guys on Grindr who use this app to harass people for various reasons, only to make dozens upon dozens of new profiles within minutes to continue the harassment. Stop allowing people like this to utilizing Grindr as a tool to harm others or make others scared or uncomfortable. We are supposed to be a community and Grindr is about finding and having fun. I’ve heard and experienced way too many horror stories with self proclaimed “discreet” guys deleting and remaking profiles to avoid the fact that they’ve been blocked by people THEY are harassing or being creepy/predatory to.

Trading photos is a pain. There's always a debate about who is going to send theirs first. There should be an option to send another user your photo but that photo only gets shown or unlocked to them if they have sent one of their own to you. Both photos unlock simultaneously.

I could see the notification saying, "this user has chosen a photo to send to you through the fair photo trade option. If you wish to make a fair trade choose a photo to send them in return and we will unlock both simultaneously"

This would reduce the number of people who claim they will send their photo in return but never do, or instances where someone has no intention of sharing their photo.

BLOQUEIOS
- Gostaria que quando alguém me bloqueasse a conversa não sumisse, pois percebi que vários usuários necessitam delas para comprovar diversas situações.

• Gostaria de pedir e/ou sugerir que tivesse a opção de bloquear cidades/estados mesmo que vizinhos, pois para alguns usuário como eu que deseja apenas comunicação local é chato ter que ficar bloqueado um por um.

Ex: Na CIDADE 1 e não quero que meu perfil apareça para pessoas da CIDADE 2,3,4, enfim... Tipo que eu pudesse bloquear os lugares que eu não desejo que eles me vejam e vice versa, como tem em um aplicativo vizinho "de outro tipo de público". (as cidades que não forem bloqueadas podem ficar visíveis, pois as vezes queremos visitar e ver os usuários de lá " mas as bloqueadas não).

• Para evitar fakes sugiro que: ( criem um método de verificação com documento e self para que vocês tenham os dados, da mesma forma que verificam a nudez do perfil, assim evitam de menores (-18) e pessoas de má fé;

Se possível colocassem um jeito de que a primeira foto mandada no chat fosse a mesma que faz para verificação de segurança.

Obs: este email não é meu email de cadastro, pois não sei se ficaria público, então caso deseje me responder por email, o cod de requerimento foi: 6061300

Então ficaria feliz se tivesse um feedback positivo.

When I am messaging with someone they often prove to be dodgy and the more I talk the more I garner proof. Those up to no good reach a point where they may be as good as exposed and have said too much so they block you. Upon doing so all their chat with you disappears along with all evidence and their identity.

This is 100% wrong and makes Grindr a less safe place, disempowers users to make it safer and also happens to be illegal because messages in one's inbox are the property of the receiver in law just as it would be illegal for a pen-friend to steal all your correspondence from your home even if visiting.

This needs to be dealt with. I might add that the same applies to accounts that are deleted by the user or by Grindr. Deletion of received messages by those other than the recipient is a gift to the criminal and the abusers and allows them to hop from person to person with immunity know that with one click they can evade detection or even deletion of accounts.
