Disconnecting your Instagram account
How to link your Instagram
You can access the feature through your profile editing page. You'll be prompted to log in to your Instagram account securely through Grindr.
- Open your Grindr app and head to your profile.
- Tap on 'Edit Profile,’ and 'Connect Instagram' option.
- Follow the prompts to authenticate and set your photo display preferences.
After connecting, you can choose to display only your verified Instagram account without images, or to show your latest six Instagram images on your Grindr profile. If your Instagram account is private, other users will only see your verified badge and handle. They will not see any photos unless you provide explicit permission.
Once connected, your profile will display a verified Instagram handle, signaling to others that you've linked a genuine Instagram account.
Disconnecting your Instagram account
You can disconnect your Instagram account at any time. To disconnect your account select ‘Disconnect’ on your ‘Edit Profile’ page. Your Instagram badge and any displayed images will be immediately removed from your Grindr profile.
Privacy and data Handling
As always, we prioritize your privacy and data security. Your Instagram profile information is not stored on our servers. Images are temporarily cached for 5 minutes to improve performance, but are not permanently saved. Your Instagram connection is immediately removed upon disconnection or data deletion request.
