In several other apps you have to take a selfie with a particular expression or hand gesture for verification purposes. So that the team managing the app are able to verify that you are who you say you are...this photo is not publicly available, but cuts down on bots, fake profiles & scams.
If this isn't dealt with soon, I will not be renewing my membership & delete my Grindr account.
Last year (2018) I was a victim of financial impersonation & fraud which they traced back to someone on Grindr asking for my number after some friendly chat & then using my name & number to find out more about me & make fraudulent financial applications in my name.
It's not just a nuisance, it's a really big deal! This needs to be taken seriously.
