Photo Verification
Having had my photos used on fake profiles as well as having been tricked using faked photos more times than I would like to admit I feel a photo verification process similar to Tinder’s is very necessary to the safety of users.

Educational Material - DVLA style support
The Issue at Hand
Grindr is an incredible tool for connection, whether for chatting, meeting, or finding community. However, for some, it’s also a space where vulnerabilities like addiction, loneliness, and harmful behaviours can flourish. This is not Grindr’s fault; people ultimately make their own choices. However, Grindr is in a unique position to offer support to users who may be at risk and to create meaningful moments of reflection and redirection. If a profile gets banned for example they could get a second chance if they go through an online DVLA style set of modules - a kind of…

Secret profile manager
Grindr I'm writing this to you today to bring something very important and something I know to becoming a huge problem here on Grindr. So the issue were running into is the amount of fake profiles Grindr is being attacked with. I am personally a victim of being stalked, harassed, and catfish. I can't express nor only how annoying but most of all a huge waste of time talking to a fake. This is something that's become a problem everywhere and needs to get a grip on Grindr before Someone seriously gets hurt or even worse. I had a awesome…

Nsfw pics "ask first" option
So for NSFW pics options. They aren't specific enough. Like, I want to have an option that says "Ask First". Because people think that "not at first" just means "don't send a dick pic first thing". Like. I want explicit consent options.

I find the app itself is very unsecured and potentially dangerous
Unfortunately the safety is not maintained at all, the access within the app is too easily accessible as well as people’s personal information. I very often come across FAKE profiles where it makes vulnerable ppl feel
UNSAFE including myself in certain locations. For example I was told that an individual from the opposite sex has had made a fake profile in order to expose a specific individual’s sexuality. being gay/bi/trans is a human right and it’s part of the community and all of us deserve to have a place to communicate and build confidence in our own selves through relationships.…3 votes -
Watermark on album
Adding a watermark feature to private photo albums on Grindr could be a game-changer in combating photo theft and identity misuse on the platform. By incorporating a watermark displaying the date and time of album access, users would have a clear indication of when their photos were viewed, deterring potential misuse. This not only enhances security but also fosters a safer and more trustworthy environment for users to share their photos.

Do Not Allow Private Folders Available on computers.
I just was blackmailed by a person who was using Grindr from his computer. I shared my album with this person and they recorded my photos and videos from their computer in his phone. Later he asked for money or was gonna send it to family and friends.

Ads and Evolving Technologies
About ads: make sure that ads shown on the app are not allowed to enter full-screen or even half-screen as this poses a security risk. Hi, my name is Ahmania, and this is just a heads up. Soon, more and more devices will be equipped in handling, storing, and processing biometric information through the digitizer and screen, with potential access under-display cameras that use infrared data transfer protocols or under-display finger-print scanners. This poses dangerous opportunities for bad actors to use ads as a means of data harvesting or data collection of sensitive biometric identifiable data. Please take this very…

Prohibit the screenshotting of any photos or videos in convos, inside and outside of albums.
The ability to screenshot/record photos & videos should be prohibited outside of an album, just like it is when included in an album. This is with the exception of original photos, videos, or files uploaded. You can do it to your own, but not others.

Empty profiles and missing photos
First of all, it would be great if Grindr would use best practices. You are allowed to have certain features that other sites have. I really like the sites that have mandatory profile policies as well as verified face pics. It is beyond irritating when someone hits you up and all you have is a blank picture, some silly name and if lucky, "just ask" F**K you. I don't want to play 20 questions just to find out what I already know....that you are a loser and waste of time.

Verified users
Social media sites often offer verification to users to ensure authenticity and safety to other users when connecting.
Grindr is often used by people that are closeted, shy and discreet, therefore even a profile that is verified without a picture would increase the chances to users to connect.43 votes -

Photo verified
Hi,
I noticed an increase of fake profiles or scams on this app leading to a not safe community/environment.
Would you consider including a photo verification process like other apps e.g Scruff, Tinder, Hinge?
Would be great to have a symbol in the profile showing it was verified.
I understand that some people are discreet or prefer to have a blank profile, maybe include an option to verify without having the photo in the profile too.
This will help to build a safer environment for people using this app.
Thank you for the consideration
Regards,

FIX MOCK LOCATION
THIS FEATURE WASTES SO MUCH TIME AND REALLY SUCKS BECAUSE IT JUST ALLOWS FOR BAD POOR PEOPLE TO SCAM WESTERNERS.
But you know that bc ur a really crappy Commie BS company spreading disease, psychological harms and ripping off gay men AND WORST OF ALL helping turn all of normal relations into a giant exercise in marketing and sales.
Basically GRINDR is now nothing but an advertising location for scammers and whores.
Oh and you massively violate privacy and charge insane money for the privilege of getting endlessly SCAMMED and defrauded by FRAUDULENT PEOPLE.
There is ZERO. I mean ZERO…
