Dear Grindr,
This an important message. I understand that in the recent update Grindr has disallowed usage of "Mock GPS". But Please lend me an ear for a minute.
There are many like me who still have to live and work in insensitive areas. Where local people are insensitive, apathetic and hateful towards LGBT community.
My recent experience of using the app in the small town I'm working at was bitter. Everyday I get followed by a local Gay guy from my office to my local residence. Another guy ended up blackmailing me and it was reported too.
My point is, Grindr is not just a dating app for many like me. It's way for me to stay connected to lgbt community. I need to use the mock location to stay safe and access Grindr from cities where I don't face any threat yet I'm able to have dozens of healthy conversations with many people, many of whom have eventually become friends with me.
Please do consider rolling back disablement of using mock location. It's a life saver.
