Blocking users and any accounts they may create
I think it is in the interest of the grindr community's safety to create a "Block user and any accounts they may create" feature. I've been harassed by several people who simply make a new blank account and then approach me in app. They make new accounts almost weekly and their undesired contact has persisted for going on two years. I block them every single time. Once he even catfished me with other people's pictures. I highly recommend a feature that links blocks accounts by registration information so that undesired contact is limited.

Cyberflashing/Harassment
Cyberflashing is a serious problem of privacy violation and sexual harassment. Too many people sending nude photos without consent on this app. The category "Accept NSFW Pics" is useless.
I think the definitive solution for this problem is that you can't receive photos if your category "Accept NSFW Pics" is "Never".
And you can't send photos to someone who set this option to "Never".This is a critical function the community needs.

I was robbed on new years by a member on Grindr. When i used his face with a caption on thief you guys blocked me and took me off the site
There is no way the cops r my self could find the guy after he blocked me. Not fair. I want justice and ur Grindr app allowed him to fall into the shadows to do it again.

How Grindr allows users to continually return to your grid even after you have blocked them
I don't need to come up with an idea on how to alleviate this problem. The idea has already been thought of and the ability to keep this from happening already exists.you are putting myself and fellow users of this app in harms way. If you continue to allow this to happen you are opening up a potential lawsuit.i pay to use certain services that are available on this app and I am certainly not getting what I pay for.

Extortion and blackmail as a result of cat fish unverified accounts
Grindr, to the best of my knowledge, is the only platform of its kind that does not verify users. Now I acknowledge that Grindr will not confirm this, but at least 25% of all active accounts are troll/cat fish accounts that are on the platform for the sole objective of masking their identity to lure legitimate users in, only to steal our (sometimes intimate) personal property. I've been extorted and blackmailed not to mention that due to the fact that Grindr hasn't made the slightest bit of progress on this major issue, there is a major erosion of trust and…

Start showing the history and reason why someone gets banned. Especially when they have paid for membership!
Show the reason why you have blocked someone's account. There should be a definite description of why with screen shots. And if you are a paid member why not do the strikes like other chat places.

Everyone should be allowed to unsend any and all photos that are exchanged between the two Grindr party's do to safty concerns
Everyone should be allowed to unsend any and all photos that are exchanged between the two Grindr party's do to safty concerns for each individual. People tend to save or screenshot other people photos with the intent to threaten, stock, harass, post derogatory comments attached to ones photo, and to share negative thoughts and feelings about a person to others in hopes of bringing the grinder community together for support to attack said person. Please it's a safety concern for people and it puts lives are in jeopardy

More thorough investigation of unsubstantiated complaint s
I think it's ludicrous that troll groups and stalkers and such can make several profiles and file false reports against people they're stalking to have them banned from an app that some of them have been banned from themselves for far worse reasons. There should be more thorough investigating into these claims I if 30 people report one person repeatedly and they never even have conversations with that person. There should be more through investigating into the reporting of people. far too often it seems that they want to make false reports based on no conversation but your system for…

Social media verification
Force users to verify that a social media account is actually theirs. It would make it more difficult for catfishers to scam people.

Self Exclusion for sex and other addictions
I have been seeing a counsellor for three years now. But the wide scale availability of drugs on Grindr or through people who use Grindr mean that it’s almost impossible for me to not download Grindr each week and start bad habits again. No joke. It’s possibly o find someone to buy drugs on Grindr in <20 minutes. Gambling apps (especially in Australia) have a self exclusion policy under law, which means you can opt to log out of your account and it will place a lock from you recreating or logging in again with the same email/phone/device to help…

Add ability to allow or force approximate distance versus exact distance
Some individuals need to maintain anonymity which is understandable but for safety reasons I would like to see a general or approximate distance in increments of maybe 10 miles. Example : "Over 20 miles away" especially when or after a message is sent and are chatting. Reasons are for safety. I was contacted by an individual who had their distance turned off. I could not see them in my nearby grid and as a free subcriber, was unable to locate them in the grid. When in a high population city, i might only be able to see profiles very close.…

Do not require anyone to post their HIV status
People should be allowed to post WHEN they were last tested without being required to indicate the results of the test. The emphasis should be on taking an HIV test, and there should be less value given to sharing the results of the HIV test. HIV test results are a very personal matter.

MAJOR SECURITY RISK
Grindr Is a major security risk to the safeness of users and people within the community. Ever since I started using the app men have been using my images as their profile pictures to both sell drugs and suggest sexual activity. Sometimes catfishing young men and luring them to locations. I believe the only way the company can come together to solve this issue is to REQUIRE a MANDATORY security process for anyone using face picture images. I believe if you want to upload face pics to the app you must confirm your identity with a legal ID card. Men…

Option to automatically blur NSFW photos
It has become impossible to safely open Grindr in public, greatly reducing my use of the app because I simply cannot safely open it without people thinking I’m looking at NSFW images in public. Grindr should allow me to blur these images in profiles and maybe messages, until clicked.

Ability to block phone contacts
There should be an option to block all contacts on your phone inside the app so things like family, coworkers or close friends wouldn’t be able to see you on the app
