Change monkeypox to mpox
To align with health organizations and limit discrimination, health organizations worldwide are stopping the use of the term Monkeypox and replacing it with mpox. It would be highly advisable that considering this is an app that serves the community that this term gets the most backlash from would adopt this new terminology immediately within profile settings and throughout the app.

Showing the date of acount creation
It will be very useful that every acount have a date of creation that will reduced the potential for harassment. Not only the gay community, but also harassers who are not and create accounts to publicly shame you or harass you in any way.

Minimum of care
Very disregarding to limit all the functionalities in the app. As long as I offer my personal informations and as long any stranger, especially fakes can cross my profile, I should have the opportunity to jump to the last profil. In the free version not possible anymore. There are many strange people with same strange habits or ideas. So it would be great for matters of humanity to get at least some information about someone visiting my profile. App fine, earning money with it too, lack in basic care, NO.

Report Cyberflashing
There should be an option to report Cyberflashing (sending nude photos without consent). The "Accept NSFW Pics" category is set to "Not At First" on my profile, but people don't always respect this. An option should be available to those people who don't respect this.
As a preventative option, how about at least show a warning within the app before sending a photo, depending on what option people have selected for "Accept NSFW Pics"?

Location/ Discreet App Safety
Firstly being very sophisticated about go'v location and app installation protection. I have seen reports of Grindr attack in Jamaica, and the app is certainly lethal in places like Iran. Please, we must keep our brothers safe. I hope you will be able to scramble location and device data in a way which you can surreptitiously confirm will ongoingly fool go'v tech. This app is monitored in all countries, and in these less deadly nations, it is essential that Grindr become unrecognized to the OS and in particular Google and Google Play via discreet app icon. Please protect us from…

Hsv2 declaration option like hiv feature for profiles
Much like the option already given to users for HIV status declarations the feature proposed would be a close to being mirrored and easy code for web engineering and design team to reproduce exactly as you have already done for covid-19 descriptors recently given to users as an additional description feature.
NEW DESCRIPTION FEATURE that would greatly benefit user profiles would be for Genital/sacral/oral herpes simplex viral infections these conditions are also known as a persons HSV-1 and HSV-2 status.
The CDC statistics provided in 2022 reports that “roughly 18.6 million people living with HSV-2 reside in the United States.”

Try telling people why they got banned
Literally, unconsensual nudes are an undying mould on the app with entitled, creepy cis men always throwing pictures of their dicks at people who explicitly state they don't want photos. I can almost guarantee half the people complaining about getting banned are one of the thousand faceless profiles sending unwanted nudes. Give repeat offenders a pop up saying "did you ask?" Before they're allowed to send a photo. If y'all can't take the numerous ways Grindr has given you leeway for just not respecting the people you're trying to fuck, given you gentle and easy ways to hear that we…

Verification of any STD or HIV status mandatory
You guys should verify users' STD or HIV status by getting their report in pdf or whatever format.It will be very important for the users health as well as society.And also we can have authenticated partners who does not make random fake profiles by matching their profile data from backend (set limit to 2-3 profiles per person).

The app needs to work on blocking minors.
Recently a friend of mine was arrested for meeting a guy he met on your app. The guy turned out to be underage so my friend is facing jail time for unknowingly having sex with an underage person. The guy lied about his age on your app. I believe a copy of a drivers license or id should have to be scanned as authorization of proof of age. This might deter people from lying about their age.

Fakers abound!
Here’s my idea…use facial recognition software to root out fake profiles! They are rampant! Fortunately, they’re also pretty stupid and easy to spot. But, I guess as long as the app is making money, nobody cares.

Blockierfunktion verbessern
Das Personen nachdem man sie blockt oder geblockt wird einfach verschwinden ist Mist. Ich bin grade zum wiederholten Male von einem Fake Profil verarscht worden, geblockt und nun ist das Profil für mich einfach weg. Ich hab nichteinmal die Möglichkeit das Profil zu melden um andere davor zu schützen. Zumindest der Chat und eine melden Funktion sollten auf jeden Fall nach dem Blockieren noch vorhanden sein! Das können andere Apps besser!

Bring back location spoofing
I used a GPS spoofer as did many other for safety and work reasons. I normally only set it a few blocks away! The newest update removed that ability and made me consider moving to another app.

Show distance to tapped profiles
I would like for people that I'm not interested in to not know my distance and when I tap someone, it would appear. That would at least make it a bit more safe in countries where lgbt discrimination is truly awful and hunter profiles exist

Hide/ignore messages from no pic profiles
A "show me" option that makes your profile inaccessible to blank profiles with no pictures and barren bio. The amount of harassment, bigotry and plain creepiness from them is insane compared to others

Allow for customizable sounds
Allow for customizable, personal notification tones for chat, taps, etc. The Grindr tone is too well known and using custom tones would increase privacy & security.
