Grindr is one of the most popular dating apps for the LGBTQ+ community, but some users may encounter difficulties when creating an account so we have created a guide with possible solutions due to geographical blocks or other restrictions. This article offers a step-by-step guide for purely informational purposes on how to create an account on Grindr circumventing such blocks (sometimes excessive and not fair), providing alternative solutions such as using temporary phone numbers, or better disposable ones that are free or a few cents each.

Why does Grindr Block Registration?

Grindr can implement blocks for various reasons, including:

  1. Geographic Restrictions: Some countries prohibit the use of LGBTQ+ dating apps.
  2. IP Blocks: If an IP address has been reported or suspected of suspicious activity, it can be blocked.
  3. BlockedPhone Number: If a phone number has been associated with inappropriate behavior or is already in use, it may be blocked.

How to Create an Account on Grindr Circumventing Blocks

You can use the Step 1, VPN solution or Step 2, using disposable phone numbers or alternatively, use both together, then connecting to a VPN and signing up using a temporary phone number.

Step 1: Using a VPN

A VPN (Virtual Private Network) can help you change your IP address and simulate a connection from a different geographical location, thus circumventing any geographical blocks. Here's how:

  1. Download and install a VPN: There are many options available, such as NordVPN, ExpressVPN, or CyberGhost;
  2. Connect to a server in a different country: Choose a country where Grindr is accessible.
  3. Start the Grindr app: With the VPN enabled, open the app and proceed with registration.

Step 2: Using Fake and Temporary Phone Numbers

Grindr requires a phone number for account verification. If your number is blocked or you prefer not to use your personal number, you can opt for a temporary phone number. Here's how:

  1. Temporary number services: Use services such as TextNow, Google Voice, or websites that offer temporary numbers such as the following (some are Russian sites, and offer free or very low-cost numbers, often as low as less than 3 cents per number for U.S. numbers:
  2. Get a temporary number: Follow the instructions on the website or in the app to get a temporary phone number.
  3. Enter the number on Grindr: Use this number when registering on Grindr.

Step 3: Account Creation

Now that you have circumvented the geographic blocks and obtained a temporary phone number, you can proceed with account creation:

  1. Open the Grindr app: Make sure the VPN is active.
  2. Enterthe required information: Provide the necessary details such as email, password, and temporary phone number.
  3. Complete verification: Follow the instructions to verify the phone number (you will receive a text message with a verification code).
  4. Set up your profile: Once your number is verified, you can complete the profile setup and start using the app.

Circumventing Grndr blocks to create an account is against the rules of the app, so we disclaim any responsibility from ambiguous use of this guide. Always remember to respect community rules and use these techniques responsibly.
