Photo moderation
Our Community Guidelines outline the rules for profile photos (and all public-facing content) on Grindr.
We have a dedicated moderation team that uses a mix of automation and human review to ensure that every profile photo meets our guidelines. Once you upload a photo, it typically takes the team 20 - 45 minutes to do their thing!
We take our commitment to fair and equal treatment for everyone on Grindr seriously. Our policies are consistent across the board - regardless of things like gender, body type, and race. In fact, our moderators regularly receive specific training on bias, microaggressions, and discrimination.
Our blog post, No Shirt, No Shorts, No Problem: Grindr Now Allows (Some) Butts, is a great read and goes further into depth on our photo philosophy, along with some specifics of what we allow in profile photos on Grindr (and why!).
How to report a photo
If you come across a profile that violates our guidelines, the best thing to do is report it via the in-app reporting tool.
