    Grindr is not doing anything at all to prevent fake profiles being created (again and again and again).

    They know the problem very well, but appear to conciously choose not to fix things. People can use fake email to register, link to you Instagram without you knowing it (it's a one way link) and when they get blocked they just start over.

    Plenty of options for Grindr to take action to make the platform more useable, as now in some areas there seem to be more fake than real profiles and meeting up is not happening at all.
    Aside fdrom that they need to protect the identity of people that are not even on the platform but whose pictures are abused.

    Start with verification of the cell-phone number do when somebody is abusing the platform they cannot simply make a new account.
    Then add photo verification such as the one on Dudesnude (which doesn't mean the verified picture needs to be visible on the profile, you would be able to send it to prove you are real), then add a way of indicating that you know someone in real life, such as PlanetRomeo has implemented, do bi-directional linking of social media platforms like Instagram such as implemented in Tinder and others.

    If Grindr really wants to do something... They can.

    This app has become nearly unusable, I opened it 5 times today, 5 times I had to report a spam account and block it too. Grindr is not taking any action to solve this, so only one thing to do, stop using it, in favour of other applications. I'm leaving a bad review in the Google Play Store too, so new users are well informed. I suggest you do the same, and only update it after Grindr took serious action to make their platform honest. (IE: Keep bots, fakers, catfishes,... off it)
