: Add as many profiles as you like to your favorites list.

| | Free Android Workaround | | :--- | :--- | | Unlimited Profiles | Use Filters aggressively. Limit by age or tribe to reduce the number of profiles shown. Swipe during off-peak hours (early morning) to hit fewer dead ends. | | Incognito Mode | Use the Pause feature (available in free version). This hides you from the grid until you unpause. | | Read Receipts | Look for the double-grey checkmark (sent) vs. orange checkmark (opened). For individual receipts, you must upgrade. | | No Ads | Use a private DNS (Go to Android Settings > Network > Private DNS > type dns.adguard.com ). This blocks 90% of Grindr’s ads system-wide without rooting. |
