Короткий ответGrindr may ask for a phone number at sign-up, on a new device, or as an extra check. You can complete it with a one-time non-VoIP number: pick Grindr and your country, enter the number in the app, and the code appears in your browser. Keep email as your login so later checks don't depend on that number.
On Grindr, privacy isn't a nice-to-have. Keeping your personal number off your profile reduces how easily someone can connect the account to your real identity.
Step by step
- Get a code with at least one credit from pricing.
- On the get a number page, choose Grindr and your country.
- Copy the number into Grindr's verification screen, with the matching country selected.
- Watch your browser — the code appears as soon as Grindr sends it.
- Type it into Grindr. Done.
If the code doesn't arrive
Give it two minutes before resending from Grindr. If the window runs out with no SMS, the number is cancelled and the credit returns to your code automatically; request a number in a different country and try again.
Afterwards
Make sure your email login works and is current. If Grindr asks again later, you can verify with a fresh number.
Частые вопросы
Why is Grindr asking me to verify my phone?
Commonly at sign-up, when you log in from a new device, or when the app wants extra proof an account is genuine.
