Identifying scammers
Hey guys. Not sure if you guys have been told about this or not. This was an idea the members came up with and it’s been passed along from member to member. There’s been such a huge onslaught of scammers on the site as you undoubtedly know. It’s almost impossible to maneuver around it. So what people have been asked to do if they’re suspicious is to ask the guy to do a selfie and instruct them to for example hold one finger up. That way you can see if the actual person matches the picture. The first time it…

Suggestion Regarding Sex Work Policies in Countries Where It Is Legal
I understand and support Grindr’s efforts to ensure a safe, respectful, and legal environment for all users. However, I would like to raise awareness about the fact that in several countries, such as Germany, New Zealand, the Netherlands, and Uruguay, sex work is a legal and regulated activity. In these contexts, it forms part of the lawful personal and professional autonomy of individuals.
For example:
In Germany, sex work is legal and regulated under the Prostitution Act (ProstG, 2002).
In New Zealand, the Prostitution Reform Act 2003 decriminalized sex work, ensuring labor rights for sex workers.
In the Netherlands, sex…

Profile pics
Could it be possible to have a feature that anyone who does not have a profile pic not be able to message you. I don’t want someone who has a landscape pic or some random pic messaging me. It’s a waste of time. It’s dumb to hear someone say “sorry I’m DL I don’t send pics” NP no chat should be a feature you can turn on to block users who will not send a headshot or a pics of who they are. Or maybe have it as a filter.

Grindr Isn’t Listening
Reading through the complaints and there are many. Some seem like quick fixes - especially in the age of AI when apps can be created much more easily. Grindr pricing is outrageous. What are we still doing here wasting our time, money and resources. Let’s pick another app and cross over to them - there are many options available- all wanting more business. Let’s take our profiles and go!

Grindr must handle subscription, plan and show subscription status within grindr app and not under other apps like playstore for privacy
I find it very uncomfortable when I see my grindr subscription is showing under Active Subscription list in playstore app in my mobile. Anyone mishandling or eavesdropping on my phone can find out which I want to maintain privacy on. All grindr related plans, subscription s, subscription status should appear only within grindr and not under any other apps like playstore. Please look into this product feature update request.

Seguridad
Intentaron extorsionarme con mis fotos privadas, diciéndome que le enviarían mis fotos a mis amigos en redes sociales porque han jaqueado mis cuentas, y para que no me hicieran eso tendría que pagar

I would say it's all the SPAM female and tranny profiles that you allow to make yourselves look more inclusive and like you have more ppl
VERIFIED profiles only. People should have to upload a picture of themselves, holding a piece of paper with a random number generated by Grindr + today's date, to verify they are the person in the profile picture creating the account. That photo doesn't need to be viewed by users but should be verified through Grindr to create a profile PERIOD. You should be promoting safety. You should also be making some attempt to get rid of the fake and spam profiles that are probably just affiliates.

Identity Verification
Grindr should implement a comprehensive identity verification process to significantly reduce bots, fake profiles, and scam accounts. The verification system should operate similarly to identity checks used by government agencies and airport security, ensuring that every active profile belongs to a real individual.
Live Government ID Capture
The app should require users to take a real-time photo of their government-issued ID using the in-app camera. Uploading files, images, or documents should not be allowed, as this prevents altered or fraudulent materials from being submitted.Live Face Verification
Immediately following the ID scan, users should complete a live selfie capture. AI…

Mutual Pic Swap for Fair Image Sharing
I’d like to share a feature idea based on a common user experience, particularly relevant in regions where being openly gay still carries social risk (such as India and other conservative cultures).
Problem:
In many such regions, users often avoid profile photos for safety reasons. Conversations typically progress to private photo exchanges, but this creates a trust imbalance: one user is expected to share first, after which the other may block without reciprocating. This leads to anxiety, frustration, and negative user experiences, even when both parties had genuine interest.Areas Addressed:
- Trust asymmetry during private photo sharing
- Fear of exposure…

That a lot of these guys are fake. They don't have any intention other than collect photos and they are very disrespectful. They're ghosts
Make it so that when someone blocks another person all of the chats and photos that was sent to the person blocking the other party are all deleted on his side of it. Also, make it that no one can take snapshots...or at least notify the other person that someone has made snapshots of his photos.

Feature Proposal: “Member Since” Profile Field
Add an automatically generated profile information section that displays how long a user has been on Grindr (e.g., Member since 2020). This field would appear by default when a profile is created and would not be editable by users.
Why This Is Good for Users
Builds Trust and Transparency
Seeing how long someone has been on Grindr helps users quickly assess credibility. Long-standing members often feel more trustworthy than newly created accounts, especially when deciding whether to start a conversation or meet in person.Reduces Uncertainty and Friction
Users already make fast judgments based on limited information. A “Member since”…

Verification
Doing a verification process by requiring the user to take a selfie of their face to match their photos, more than one selfie would be preferred. This will give the user a verification badge, and I believe every profile should require this to be a user on the app

Mutual Photo Sharing
Introduce a mutual photo-sharing feature where photo albums are only shared once both users explicitly consent. After mutual consent, each user should be allowed to view the shared album at least once, even if one party later withdraws consent—while preventing further access after that initial view.

When reporting someone put a place for scammers. And when a scammer is reported enough times shut their account down
You don't have any place to report scammers. And we users are tired of see all the scammers trying to get gift cards or cashapp. Or only fans or Snapchat or WhatsApp. Give us users a option to report scammers and take it seriously and if reports show scammers remove them and prevent them from making a new account to scam people we all are tiered of it and we are starting to go to different apps as we can nolonger find companionship on here with out fitting though hundreds of scammers filling up the screen

We should be able to "log in with Grindr" on other sites.
I was reading through a gay travel guide thinking "but how do we prevent our safe spaces and becoming overrun with straight women and their bridesmaids? The answer?" Login with Grindr. Just sayin'.

Is there a way to show us where we are signed in and our activity controls?

Verify account to reduce Ghosting and fake profiles
It appears Hosting and fake profile to solicit pictures and to raise user emotions before ghosting them is becoming more common than not.
Not only does this impact the mental health of users who are being ghosted, but it seriously impacts the user and makes them question their existence without our community.
Fake users are getting off on getting attention but never following through, nor ever going to meet, but lead the user on before blocking them 2 mins before meeting.There needs to be some facility within the app to verify the user, or a 'commit to meet' option…
