    I've been banned. Impersonation apparently.
    It seems Grindr consider everyone guilty until proven innocent. They ask for a photo of you, your name, and your signature and the account it relates to.
    I am not comfortable with them having these details, I believe it's in breach of data protection and furthermore, it makes no sense -

    When we join Grindr, we don't give these details, so they have nothing to compare them to. You could for the sake of it send in anyone's details, what does this prove?? If the person who's reported you because they don't like you, sends in a photo of themselves then they're going to win, if presumably their photo matches their profile - and it might have nothing to do with your profile impersonating anyone. I've seen people use photos of dead celebs as profiles...

    ANYONE can report you and frankly there are that many guys out there who will take offense if you say they're not your type, how are you to know.

    INTERESTINGLY for a month or so, the app has been allowing me to log in and THEN blocks me after an hour or so.

    ALSO i've tried logging on to grindr using my details, on a friend's phone, as a test, and they weren't able to log in - so it has to be more than banning your phone...

    It's dodgy, very dodgy. The customer service team do not help, refuse to answer sensible questions and as a result I am joining the spate of customers reporting this to Apple, who say what they're doing is not right
