1. A validity system that maintains your privacy.

   I am DL and for me it's so hard to want to share my photos. And you can say whatever you want but I'm just not there yet you know? And why should anyone have to conform their lives to the app. And I like to keep my private life private , even if I am known to everyone I just feel like it's not something to be all in your face with. It's a called a private life and that's why you originally found adds online in the PERSONALS. But I actively have people that are on the app just dying to get a shred of my personal information as they literally make accounts making fun of me and they say shit that I would pick up on and they message me and they will try to get me to send pics but as I have my process they usually fail. I don't know if they have fooled me yet as to ascertain my personal information under false pretenses or not but if they were to , they would absolutely use it to torment me and likely hold it over my head for while before using it to embarrass the hell of out me and to just overall wreak havoc on my life.

   We need to implement some sort of system for validating users and it will also help with other fake accounts both bots and spam while also helping to strengthen the enforcement of having banned someone.

   Implement that every (phone identifier • Connection identifier )= 3 account creation limit per 18months
   That way bots and banned people along with most importantly people who I block can't keep creating profiles to harrass me. As in sure the amount of devices they can obtain is limited or the cost to do so is either to costly or more trouble than its worth.

   To help validate users and to help weed out people who have BS or nefarious intentions you can have social Scores and I've also thought of how to prevent users from misusing the system and abusing the function by giving a negative mark for the reason of trying to harm another users experience by affecting a users negative score to achieve a corresponding punishment.

   How you can achieve this is through a system while also maintaining a level of privacy of a users actions is you the Affirmation score , and how you score a point in the affirmation score is by giving the option to send a pic request to an individual and if they accept it then you both send pics that have to be taken there on the spot no uploading and you have to upload at least 2 then you each gain and affirmation point. This is not mandatory just a method of validation and way for users add a point to their scores so other users can be able to possibly gain insight into whether or nothing a user is authentic. So there is no negative score just an optional choice pathway allowing users to take a channel that turns regular user functions into a optional set processess that validate a user through their choice of going through a validation process optionally that also achieved the same goal the user originally had but also obscures their actions having multiple ways to score points who's to say how many of each actions a users score represents?
   Also optionally accepting a user request to agree to a video chat. Etc , basically by giving users an option to take user validating set of steps versus the much more freely achieved version of the same process use the same function.

   You could display a profiles country of origin listed and country their connection is currently established in. Just a signaler of possibly not an authentic user because if they was displaying themselves to you in your area but country their connection is established in is different well that's probably a good sign of a nefarious user, because if you're traveling abroad then why aren't you in their grid and why are you looking at your home grid when traveling abroad.?

   Possibly scan a person when opening the app and their biological sex is chosen based off the scan and their pronouns are options available for the user to specify.

   All of these options would go to further limit bots, fraud accounts , and strengthen users trust and give them a better idea of who their talking to while maintaining all users privacy. Through the of these validity signalers. Together you can get an overall idea of whether or not they are fake based upon the total combination of these signals.

2. Profile verification needed

   There are way too many fake profiles on grindr, such that there is no way of knowing which one is a genuine profile. Like Tinder, you should have a face verification mechanism and a verified marker to at least allow the general users to distinguish between the unverified users and the verified ones. Highly necessary especially in places like India where I'm constantly struggling with catfishers and identity thieves. Please introduce this feature asap. Requesting as your paid subscriber.

8. Implement User Verification for Enhanced Safety and Authentic Connections

   For several years, Grindr users have been requesting a feature that allows for user verification. This is a crucial step toward ensuring the safety and mental well-being of the LGBTQ+ community, particularly gay men who predominantly use this platform. It is time for Grindr, as a major player in the dating app industry, to address this pressing issue.

   The lack of a verification system on Grindr has led to an influx of catfish and fake profiles, which not only waste users’ time but also pose significant risks to their safety and mental health. Other dating apps such as Scruff, Tinder, and Hinge have already implemented verification processes, providing their users with a safer and more authentic experience. It is perplexing and frustrating that Grindr has not followed suit.

   Grindr should introduce a user verification feature that allows individuals to confirm their identities. This could be done through various means, such as:

   1.  Photo Verification: Similar to other platforms, users could upload a photo that matches specific poses or gestures to ensure authenticity.
   2.  Social Media Integration: Allow users to verify their profiles through linking to their verified social media accounts.
   3.  ID Verification: Optional but available for users who wish to further authenticate their profiles.
   

   Benefits:

   1.  Enhanced Safety: Users will feel more secure knowing they are interacting with real people, reducing the risk of scams and dangerous encounters.
   2.  Improved Mental Health: Authentic connections are crucial for the mental well-being of LGBTQ+ individuals. Verification can help reduce the anxiety and frustration caused by fake profiles.
   3.  User Choice: Verification should be optional. This respects the anonymity of those who prefer to remain discreet while providing an option for those seeking verified connections.
   

   As a leading platform for gay men and the LGBTQ+ community, Grindr has a significant responsibility to protect its users. Implementing a verification feature is a necessary step in fulfilling this duty. It is not just about staying competitive with other apps but about prioritizing the well-being and trust of the community Grindr serves.

   In 2024, it is inexcusable for a platform as prominent as Grindr to lack a basic verification feature. This addition would align Grindr with industry standards and demonstrate a genuine commitment to the safety and mental health of its users. It is time for Grindr to act and implement user verification, ensuring a safer and more authentic experience for all.

   As a Grindr user myself, I believe it’s essential that the platform takes user complaints and ideas seriously. Personally, I am considering subscribing to Grindr’s premium services, but I need assurance that they are committed to implementing features like user verification. This would not only benefit all users but also show a dedication to maintaining a safe and respectful community environment.

   Thank you for considering this proposal. Let’s make Grindr a safer place for genuine connections.

10. Proposal to enhance engagement and safety

    I am writing to propose a set of enhancements that could significantly improve user safety, engagement, and overall experience on Grindr. Given the platform’s role in fostering meaningful connections, implementing transparency and accountability features can help create a safer and more enjoyable environment for all users.

    Profile Engagement & Reliability Score:

    Many dating and social networking apps, such as Scruff and OkCupid, provide users with insights into engagement patterns. Grindr could benefit from:
    • A Responsiveness Score, indicating how often a user replies to messages within 24 hours. This feature would reduce frustration and improve matching efficiency.

    Verified & Trusted Profiles:

    To improve trust and authenticity, Grindr could introduce:
    • A Verification Badge (similar to Tinder/Bumble) requiring users to verify their identity via a selfie or government ID. This would help reduce fake profiles and scams.
    • A “Trusted User” Badge for users who have consistently positive engagement (e.g., no reports, frequent interaction).

    Safety & Accountability Features:

    To enhance security and user protection, Grindr could implement:
    • Location History Transparency: A feature that shows if a profile has frequently changed its location within a short time frame, helping identify potential scammers or fake accounts.
    • Report & Block Insights: A notification system that alerts users if an account has been reported multiple times for similar reasons, providing a red flag for potential misconduct.

    User Behavior Insights:

    For better engagement and accountability, Grindr could introduce:
    • “Mutual Match” Indicator – A feature that highlights when two users regularly engage with each other’s profiles or messages, making conversations more intentional.
    • “Community Standing” Rating – Similar to Uber’s rider rating system, users could have a community-based reputation score influenced by factors like responsiveness, positive interactions, and minimal reports.

    I am writing to propose a set of enhancements that could significantly improve user safety, engagement, and overall experience on Grindr. Given the platform’s role in fostering meaningful connections, implementing transparency and accountability features can help create a safer and more enjoyable environment for all users.

    Profile Engagement & Reliability Score:

    Many dating and social networking apps, such as Scruff and OkCupid, provide users with insights into engagement patterns. Grindr could benefit from:

11. Unsend Location To All

    Someone knocked on my door. Apparently I sent my location to him a while ago. I was terrified! Please, for our safety, give us users an easy way to unsend location from all chats. It's so easy to lock the Album. Location should likewise be easily lockable.

13. Selfie verification

    Too many catfishes on this app. Literally every other modern dating app has selfie verification. It’s about time Grindr does the same. I would move over to Archer for their verification feature, but they don’t have enough users in my city yet.

14. Improve the hide feature

    The idea of the "Hide" feature is interesting, in my opinion it prevents the possibility of blocking people without reason. However, it should be improved, in fact to get the "block" back it is sufficient to put the user in the favorites, or write a simple "hi". To make the hide truly effective there should be an interaction between people (e.g., at least 5 messages exchanged), so I would at least wait for the other person to respond, otherwise it is easy to get around the idea of the hide.

15. Move (useless) BOOST button or move the (unavoidable) RETRY button

    Currently the RETRY network button is located over the BOOST button.

    RETRY useful & need to use occasionally,, (doesn't accomplish anything 95% of time). RETRY also automatically disappears at any time.

    BOOST is only used by one or two people. The button and associated paid 'feature' is extremely unpopular /hated (as evidenced in this forum).

    When trying to touch the RETRY button, the button can simply vanish during the process leaving and accidental click on the BOOST button. It is possible for Grindr to measure the average time between the RETRY button appearing and your response time to effectively predict when users will touch the button, then make the button vanish just when users are tapping, only to have them select BOOST as per the accidental design feature.

    Sad that BOOST sucks so much devs resorted to this sort of dishonesty, subterfuge and disrespect for users to try to obtain accidental acceptance of it.

16. I Would Like You to Verify Profiles

    There are many fake profiles with bad intentions in the area where I live. Additionally, there is a lot of identity theft. Just as some applications verify users through facial recognition with the camera, like certain social media platforms do, it would be beneficial to have a badge for verified profiles. This way, people could feel more confident when communicating with verified accounts.

19. Verification Badges

    Please add the option to allow users to go through a Verification process and add a “Verified” badge to their profile to confirm we are communication with a real person and not someone that is attempting to catfish. Competitors like Tinder have had this feature for years, Grindr really needs this!
