Chat with people near you and look through some of your recent conversations. You should be able to see and open photos in chat.

Alternatively, connection errors can occur because of restrictions applied to adult content by the administrators of your Internet Service Provider.

Internet censorship may prevent users from accessing Grindr in the following countries:

China

Turkey

Saudi Arabia

Indonesia

United Arab Emirates

Lebanon

Pakistan

Unfortunately, we have very little control over this as these restrictions are controlled by the Government.

We recommend either contacting the network administrator for more details or attempting to connect via another Wi-Fi network or 4G to see if this is indeed the issue.
