    Although other apps like Snapchat and instagram can be used to verify if someone on Grindr is real, it is inconvenient and unrealistic because not everyone on Grindr uses the same social media apps; therefore a verification system should be implemented into Grindr to verify if someone is who they say they are.

    This system would be fairly easy to implement since many other apps do the same thing. All this would require is that the user has a least one picture of their face on their profile. The next step would be taking a “verification” face picture, possibly doing a certain action, and have that verification picture be matched with the face picture in the user’s profile. Furthermore, to prevent cat phishing, users would not be allowed to upload a verification picture, instead users would only have the option to submit a verification picture by taking one with the camera. This would be a preventative measure against cat phishing allowing the users of Grindr to stay safe.

    Although many discrete members of Grindr would not appreciate verification photos as it would require them to have a face picture on their profile. Making verification photos optional would allow those members to keep enjoying Grindr how they want to.

    In summary, this kind of verification process would allow everyone to stay safe, and keep grindr on the cutting edge of LGBT dating apps.
