1. Feature Request: Strengthen Community Safety Through Enhanced Reporting, Fraud Prevention, and Law Enforcement Cooperation

   I appreciate Grindr's efforts to improve user safety. However, in many regions, especially India, users continue to encounter serious criminal activity on the platform, including drug dealing, financial scams, impersonation, underage users, prostitution, trafficking, and other illegal activities.
   As someone who has personally experienced financial scams through Grindr, I believe the platform can do much more to protect genuine users and restore confidence in the community.
   1. Expand Report Categories
   Please include dedicated reporting options for:
   Drug dealing or distribution
   Financial scam / Fraud
   Underage user
   Human trafficking or exploitation
   Prostitution / Solicitation
   Blackmail or extortion
   Identity theft / Impersonation
   Organized criminal activity
   2. Intelligent Scam Detection
   When multiple users independently report an account as a scammer, Grindr should use behavioral analysis and machine learning to identify common fraud patterns, such as:
   Repeated requests for money
   UPI or bank payment solicitation
   Copy-pasted conversations
   Frequently changing accounts
   Repeated profile recreation after bans
   Suspicious location or device patterns
   Accounts with a high confidence score should be automatically flagged for moderator review.
   3. "Suspicious" or "Under Moderation" Badge
   Instead of allowing potentially dangerous accounts to continue interacting normally while investigations are ongoing, introduce a temporary badge such as:
   Suspicious Activity
   Under Safety Review
   Under Moderation
   This would help users make informed decisions while the Trust & Safety team completes its review. The badge should only be applied after sufficient evidence or multiple credible reports to minimize false positives.
   4. Stronger Action Against Repeat Offenders
   Users permanently banned for serious violations should not be able to return easily.
   Consider combining:
   Device risk assessment
   Installation fingerprinting
   Verified phone numbers
   Behavioral fingerprinting
   Repeat-offender detection
   Account linkage analysis
   to prevent repeated abuse.
   5. Cooperation With Law Enforcement
   For reports involving credible evidence of serious criminal activity—including drug trafficking, child exploitation, human trafficking, organized fraud, or other major offenses—please preserve relevant evidence and cooperate with the appropriate law enforcement authorities in accordance with applicable laws and due process.
   For users in India, where legally appropriate, establish a process for cooperating with the Indian Cyber Crime authorities and other competent law enforcement agencies when investigations involve criminal conduct supported by credible evidence.
   6. Protect the Community
   Most people use Grindr to connect genuinely and safely. Criminals who exploit the platform damage trust and put the entire community at risk.
   By strengthening reporting, improving fraud detection, preventing ban evasion, and cooperating with law enforcement where appropriate, Grindr can create a much safer environment where genuine users feel confident using the platform.

   1. Image Authenticity & Profile Verification
      Introduce an image authenticity system to help identify fake or suspicious profile photos before they are widely used.
      The system could use AI and image analysis to detect indicators such as:
      Stolen or previously reported profile photos
      Images copied from social media or public websites
      AI-generated or heavily manipulated faces
      Repeated use of the same image across multiple Grindr accounts
      Screenshots, edited images, or low-quality images commonly associated with fake profiles
      Mismatches between submitted photos and optional live selfie verification
      If the system identifies a high probability that a profile photo is fake or misleading, the account should be flagged for moderator review rather than being automatically penalized.
      Users could also be offered an optional live selfie verification process to earn a "Verified Photo" badge, helping other users identify authentic profiles while respecting user privacy.
      This feature would significantly reduce fake profiles, impersonation, romance scams, and repeat offenders who continuously create new accounts using stolen or AI-generated images.

   2. Screenshot Protection & User Notification
      To discourage misuse of profile information and reduce scams, impersonation, and harassment, introduce screenshot protection features.
      Screenshot Detection
      Whenever a user takes a screenshot of another user's profile, Grindr should notify the profile owner that:
      Their profile was screenshotted.
      The date and time of the screenshot.
      Whether it was a profile page, album, or chat (where technically feasible).
      This improves transparency and allows users to make informed decisions about continuing the conversation.
      Dynamic Watermarking
      Any screenshot of a profile should automatically contain a dense, diagonal watermark across the entire image containing information such as:
      "Grindr"
      Screenshot date and time
      The viewer's account ID or anonymized identifier
      Optional session identifier
      The watermark should be difficult to crop or remove and should cover the image diagonally from edge to edge.
      Benefits
      This feature would:
      Discourage impersonation and fake profiles.
      Reduce unauthorized sharing of users' photos.
      Help identify the source of leaked screenshots.
      Deter blackmail, extortion, and harassment.
      Give users greater confidence that their profile content is being handled responsibly.
      This feature should respect platform capabilities and privacy laws while balancing user safety with legitimate uses such as reporting abusive content.

2. Option to opt out of AI Profile Insights

   I feel incredibly uneasy about the new AI profile insights feature and the Edge offering in general. I understand a desire to jump on the AI train, but this feature feels too intrusive. I’m not comfortable knowing a stranger could pay to find out information about my preferences that should only be revealed through private messages. I am selective with who I talk to, and what I state on my profile is as much as I want a stranger to know about me.

   At worst, I can see this feature misused by bad actors to gain information on the local LGBT population beyond our public profiles. $349 is steep for the average person, but may be justifiable to bot programmers, advertisers, or law enforcement.

   I personally do not consent to have my data used in this way, and may reconsider how often I use Grindr in the future depending on how the Edge features are handled. Mixing AI with sexual apps is a very risky game to play.

4. Anti-Catfish SafeSearch

   To respect privacy, automatic verification might be too intrusive, so we could limit the feature: if taking screenshots isn't allowed, the app should at least be able to verify if the sent photo is in the public domain.

   Allow users to block other users based off of contact information (phone number, email etc.) this would provide safety and peace of mind to users who don’t want ex-relationships, potential or previous abusers to meet new people safely without fear that they are being stalked or harassed.

11. Age filter with age limit

    It would be great if there were an age filter where I could set my age preferences, so my profile wouldn't be shown to anyone outside of that range - meaning they wouldn't even be able to see that I'm on the app.

15. How about you do something about all the weirdos impersonating trans women, considering you are publicly traded company

    How about you make it so that there aren’t a bunch of cis losers impersonating trans women….i don’t see anyone impersonating cis gay men???? All you have to do is create some sort of authenticating handshake for ppl to verify their socials by logging in. We’ve been able to authentic Spotify accounts on tinder since Obama was president, wtf is going on here with the expensive app, what are your devs doing?

20. MANDATORY PHOTO ID VERIFICATION / BLUE MARK

    I strongly believe Grindr should implement ID or passport verification during registration. Once the verification is successfully completed, the user should receive a visible blue verification checkmark on their profile.

    This would have several benefits. It would significantly reduce fake, duplicate, scam, and impersonation accounts, while making it easier for users to know that they are interacting with a real, verified person. It would also create greater accountability and could help reduce harassment, catfishing, and abusive behaviour.

    The blue checkmark would be especially useful because it would give users an immediate and simple way to identify verified profiles without revealing anyone’s personal information. It could become a trusted symbol within the Grindr community: blue check = identity verified.

    I understand that ID verification involves sensitive personal information, so the system would need strong privacy protections and should ideally confirm only that the person has successfully passed verification, without displaying or unnecessarily storing their ID details.

    Overall, I believe this could make Grindr significantly safer, more trustworthy, and more authentic while giving users greater confidence when meeting and interacting with others.
