Tapping

I think the Tapping Function should be deleted on Grindr . Mostly sent by the people who tried to do dodgy to all member of grindr . They advertise being a masseurs. And created a fake location. And require to make a booking to reserve the time and date, to do that they asked you to provide credit card details and pay half amount of the service in advance .
But the masseur is actually isn’t a real person . This is created by one person, but this co- founder send the advertisement about this massage service through to every member of grindr all around the world . He changed the face pic of masseur every day with different person face pic through “ The Tap function “ .But the map location is always the same address at the same hotel.

Drug dealers and fake profiles

I have been using this app on and off for years. A once very good app is now morally questionable. Since returning to American ownership the scam hit ups have decreased but not vanished. Profiles are not monitored by the app owner. They rely on their customers to dob each other in. Even then the chance of an account being banned is at best 50/50. Therefore the app is rife with fake profiles, scam profiles, and DRUG DEALERS. Drug dealers are openly using the site as their shop front to sell illegal hardcore drugs. They are often openly stating they are selling drugs so any excuse the owner has for not taking action is questionable. The site is also a regular site used by scammers posing as masseuse or people hosting ‘parties’ with links to dodgey website that will hack your device. Finally, customer service is zero. If you pay a subscription, you WILL sooner or later have that account banned (I have TWICE had my account banned interestingly on both occasions just a week or so after buying a six month subscription). Getting a response from customer service is almost impossible, and an explanation as to why your account has been banned will never come (nor did my money for my six month subscription I never got).
A once good app that I still do use - but with great caution. The owners of this app have to answer for their disregard of the flagrant use of their app for illegal purposes.

Pretty miserable to deal with

Since your new app update I’ve never had issues with Grindr (as someone using Grindr for 13 years) at all. Now I’m not certain where the program team is. Every-time I open my app it cannot refresh at all. Additionally all photos from previous chats that haven’t been in albums are forfeit. I also am unable to spend more than 2 minutes on the app without getting a 30 second add. In addition to those issues I cannot even get messages that were sent to me a minute ago until 4 hours later. Also people that are apparently 2km away from me jump to 20kms away without them moving because I asked. Why on earth should we bother with these problematic issues when you can’t be bothered to fix your tech? I have been in the middle of conversations with people and it says my message couldn’t be delivered or worse error please try again, which doesn’t work. Please fix your app before you ask me to accommodate your money hungry needs. It should not take 2 mins before I see an add all the time. What will you do to fix this? It appears as a blatant disregard of why people use the app. Additionally, I wanna know what you’re doing to fix this? What is the issue you’re experiencing because it rings true for at least 10 Grindr users I know?
