App is overrun with spambots abusing tap feature
As per the title, I'm finding Grindr to be increasingly unpleasant to use due to a dramatic uptick recently in fake profiles which are abusing the tap function in order to generate user engagement and funnel traffic to social media sites.
The spam bots are incredibly easy to spot. For the most part they tap you without having viewed your profile, they typically only have one or two photos, they use the same 3-5 bios, and they link to a known set of social media accounts. They also tend to reuse the same photos.
I will regularly have days where…

Keep conversation after being blocked
When someone blocks you, the conversation immediately disappears. Bad actors have used that to say hateful or threatening things and then quickly block you before you can report them. It means that dangerous people can use your platform unchecked. That isn't okay. Change it to be like Facebook, where you cannot message someone who has contacted them but they can't just block you to avoid being reported.

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”…

Settings for allowing only people with pics to view my profile. Allowing only people with a face pic to view my face pic profile.
Tired of being messaged by people that don't have a pic when they wouldn't have messaged me if I didn't have a pic.
Who can view my profile: <dropdown>
- Profiles with pics
- Profiles with face pics
Otherwise my profile doesn't show up in the grid or in a search for them.

Fight the Catfish and Block Screen Shots!!!
It's simply appalling and disgusting to see that so many of your loyal users have been simply ignored by you over time in regards of a very important privacy concern: STOP the bloody Catfish and the Grindr Theft Picture, make sure to prevent the bloody Screen Shot. Is that really difficult and expensive for such a long time runner and staple of the gay dating app history in the Globe?
C'mon you can do it. Sc"*@@ did it, why can't you? :)4 votes -
Remove Album Access to Specific Users
It would be great to be able to remove individual access to shared albums without having to scroll through an exhaustive list of users with current access. This could be an option on the shared album within the messages with the individual or even a search option within the Shared Access list.

I’d like to be able to set a default for how long albums are visible rather than indefinitely
I’d like to be able to set a default for how long albums are visible rather than indefinitely. Otherwise I have to select a timescale every time I share an album, which is very tedious.

I think you should add the ability to leave compliments on other people’s profiles, not negative ones. But things like “friendly”, “genuine”
Compliments, such as “good listener”, “friendly”, “unique”, etc… nothing negative but just to let other people know you’re not a serial killer haha

Grindr against our security
Experimenting the politics of grindr about list of blocked profiles. After I am blocking a certain amount of profiles , after few weeks reappear in my grid. There is a maximum of profile we can block? I am paying a service that is not contributing to my security. Does anyone else experimenting that?

Allow for blocking with out having to open and view a profile. May help cut down on spam.
In order to block or hide someone you have to tap on and view/open their profile which sends them a notification that their profile was viewed. Bots may keep this data and use this to know what profiles are active. By allowing to block/hide/report by long pressing in their image on the messages/taps/views pages and displaying a popup asking if we want to block/hide/report the profile may help reduce spam.

Block users
In my personal opinion. I don’t like the fact that any user can by rude and offensive with me and then block me and the whole conversation fades away and all the evidence goes away. I can’t even report that profile because it’s disappeared. So what? I have to be victim of verbal abuse and do nothing???
And let that person doing that to others like nothing??Verbal abuse. Spam. Scammers. Non showing persons. Unreal people talking. Abusive.
I suffer all of these in this app. And couldn’t even report them because they blocked me and disappear.

Did you forget or never know at all.
This has gotten so bad. There are more perfect looking trans profiles than men on here and they aren't even real this is small community where most people know each other and the Trans profiles are not real. This was a platform for gay and bi men nothing wrong with that. There are platforms out there for trans straight and lesbian people they should use those. Also the fake Only Fans profiles get rid of them they are soliciting for another website I don't even understand why you love that. It's to the point this isn't even fun anymore. And…

AI data training should be Auto Opt Out
I am so uncomfortable that everyone is automatically opted in to have their chats photos and locations fed to train an AI and even if you opt out the data has still been taken. THIS SHOULD BE OPT OUT BY DEFAULT I am horrified that pictures of me might have been used to train an AI when i opted out the second I could. This is shameful and terrifying

Bring back free blocking
Grinder is just becoming a cash grab because soon enough we’ll have to pay to message ppl. Wtf are yous doing putting blocking behind a paywall. Sorry it out because I’ve used this app for a long time and I know about privacy laws and this isn’t legal

Check profiles for stalking and phone farm setups. Also not allow people on app where you cant see their phone camera if needed.
Due to the most activity involving congressional use when you all went to congress to promote and support gay rights. A test user has been hit and I request to have all profiles removed if you cant see them on phone camera and to check each profile for extensive log on. They are not cruising for long periods of times they are logging on to stalk people. Please check all profile activities. AlL of THEM

Feature Suggestion: Face Exchange
One issue I often experience (and I think many others do as well) is that when people are discreet or downlow, they ask for a face picture, but after I send mine, they sometimes don’t reciprocate even though they agreed to swap.
This creates an uneven and sometimes frustrating experience — especially in smaller communities (like where I live in small-town New Zealand), where being open on your profile isn’t always possible, and engagement is higher when you start with a blank profile.
Proposed Solution:
A feature called Face Exchange.
• Each person uploads a face photo into the chat.…2 votes -
Hide/Block Shortcut
Can we add the hide/block feature as a shortcut when you are on the grid and press and hold on someone’s profile please :) Right now you can chat favorite or tap but, can we add hide/block to that as well. This way we don’t have to click on the profile to then click on the upper right corner to hide/block. Especially now that profile views are a huge thing, let’s not add ourselves to their profile viewed list if we don’t have to. Pls :)
