The first messages he sent btw
Haven’t responded

Seriously, what gives with this? First time this profile has engaged with me and this is all he can say!

Do they really think they are going to meet a gay guy that doesn't watch porn?

Edit: so I don't get anymore DMs asking what his X is, it's kingofdachill 😂

What does it mean?

I see this every once in a while.

The top of their profile picture is shown but the bottom 1/3 there's the tap symbol.

They're not in my recent taps list.

Can't find a good explanation. Thanks!

I tested open grind. The current version works for me on Android. They brake down most of the paywalls, so that I can tap and chat with guys all over the world or hookup on the other side of the city not limited to the other side of the street like Grindr free version.

Got banned and appeal didn’t work they said it was a final decision. So other than getting a new phone and what can I do on iOS?

I found this reporting very enlightening and helpful. I had no idea Grindr had this record with user’s data. And also I had no idea their AI model was being trained with my pics, etc. I thought I’d share here for others on the same boat!

I’m not sure if it comes off offensive at all.

I put Masc4Masc on my profile and say “MASC and FIT only. ASS pics will get you blocked” in my bio but fems and trans still sent me their butt pics in the dms :(

I also got a bunch of warnings for saying “I’m not into fems and trans” in my bio and was forced to remove it :( What is offensive about this?

I don’t mean anything no disrespect at all. But i really want to understand why. I mean I’m not going to put them back in the bio again because it keeps getting ignored and they still flood my dms with their butt pics anyway. But i just want to know what’s offensive about it?

Not to mention when I’m on Right Now mode, saying the word “Trans” is strictly prohibited too 😭

I heard there was supposed to be a new map view feature on the app but for some reason it's not showing up even after updating. For context, I'm on android (Samsung galaxy s25) and was wondering if it was bugged or just a beta feature that hasn't came to everyone yet?

I've noticed that sometimes its very specific and says something like 132meters away or 748meters away, but a surprising amount of users are specifically 1km away, is distance rounded off above a certain distance? (presumably 1kilometre?)

Ever since few weeks ago explore is not showing close people anymore ?!

Instead of showing people who are ~1km away it shows people who are 100km+ far and mixes them with close ones!

Anyone else experiencing this? It's annoying af idk if it's a new limitation

I used to work at grindr.
I have a bunch of information regarding things you see on a daily basis and how it works as a company.
Ask your questions and i will try to answer them

Gotta love how Grindr got rid of the most annoying part of their app; the messages.

Surely removing the ability to communicate with others will be a more enjoyable experience overall, while giving the app memory space to add more AI surveillance.

I have my read receipts all the way up my conversations even above messages the other person sent. Is this a common bug? How can I fix it? I'm on ios.

People on this app are unserious and never follow through with plans, no matter how attractive they find you. Save yourself some time and sanity and delete the app. You can be chatting everyday for a week with someone and on the exact day you're about to meet you'll either be blocked or ghosted.

It's a fucking cesspool, I hate it but I keep coming back which makes me hate myself too. I met a wonderful person not on from this app so I should probably just be content with what I got and leave the hookup culture. But I just want to say some things:

Every single straight/bi couple I've had the displeasure of being messaged by has been insufferable, pushy and very judgmental people. Every single passing trans and femboys have been flakes and have standards higher than my ass, if you don't pass they don't bother. Some have been pretty mean to me cuz I'm a femboy too but I semi-pass and have an average sized cock. The rest are just fucking assholes, people with 0 respect for boundaries, and a whole lotta nobody fucking even if you are highly attractive. Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with people these days?

I left because I was tired. But now I really want to find a fwb but dont know where else to start. Anyone saying i shouldnt? Any alternatives?

Thanks in advance.

Whenever I get a notification alerting me that someone has messaged me, if I tap on the notification to read the message, the app will tell me that the profile is no longer available. This has happened to me 3 times in the last few times I've used the app. I'm having a hard time accepting that dudes are just straight up blocking me after inquiring about something I put on my profile. Were those dudes just too impatient?? I really don't get why that would be happening as much as it is.

I think it’s another case of expectations vs reality. It sounded so hot but in reality it was genuinely disgusting.

The smell and taste of someone’s unwashed and dirty self is actually nasty and something I never want to experience again. It’s now an instant turn off whenever someone has musk or sleazy in their bio because I genuinely thought I was dying from the tonsillitis one of these people gave me.

never again, you do you but I am never searching for a musky man again.

This afternoon, my Grindr was blowing up with notifications, and everything seemed unlocked even though I never paid for XTRA or Unlimited.

Later today, I opened the app and found out I was banned for “scams and/or fraud.” I have no idea why. I submitted an appeal, but has anyone experienced this before?

Were you able to get unbanned after you sent an email to them?

I am 18, and like to just have fun. I’m not on Grindr for anything serious, and honestly even just swapping nudes is ok with me. When convos fall flat, I let it die even if I find them attractive. But for some reason when I give even just a simple text back guys feel like we’ve fallen in love.

When I don’t respond, im in high school and have a job so I’m usually busy, they start this weird love bombing thing. Usually I’ll just quit talking all together if smth like that happens, and I get bombarded with even more texts. Why won’t they just give it up?

I’ve finally started just blocking people, but it is really annoying. Like I think some of them are decently attractive and I’d be down to meetup, but do they not understand what a turn off it is when they do this?
