Key notes

There is no doubt about it — the gay hookup app Grindr is popular but a registration error can strike at any time. Grindr has a lot of controversy surrounding it but outside of this issue, it is a man-made program that glitches at times so here’s the rundown on how to go about it.

Why is Grindr verification not working?

How do I fix the Grindr registration error?

A few basic workarounds to start off the troubleshooting process include:

1. Force stop the app

2. Clear cache

2.1 Browser cache

2.2 App cache

3. Allow Grindr permissions

On the Grindr registration page, there’s an option to sign in with third-party apps like Facebook or your Apple ID. If you’ve enabled two-factor authentication on these apps, you’ll first be required to sign in and give permission for Grindr to complete registration.

If you don’t accept the request, your Grindr registration will not go through and you’ll be stuck at this stage.

4. Enable/disable your VPN

Grindr is a location-based social network that allows you to meet other people in your area so if you’re having trouble with registration, you’re probably in a restricted area. The same fix applies for theBumble not available in your country error.

You can alsouse a VPN that is good at masking your IP addressif the free ones prove to be unreliable.

5. Try other registration methods

If you’re having trouble registering say with your email address, try another way like the third-party apps or via a browser. Some users had issues because they moved the app to a secure folder after downloading it which interferes with a successful registration.

If the app files ended up in the wrong folder, you can reinstall Grindr and try registration again.

6. Submit a request to customer support

The servers may be down or overloaded with other users who are also trying to sign up at the same time. This can happen at any time, but it’s more likely to occur when Grindr has just been released in a new country.

If you’re having trouble signing up and this is the case, try again later. However, if the registration error is persistent at different times of the day, you cansubmit a request to the Grindr teamfor troubleshooting.

You’ll need to provide details such as your location, a screenshot of the error, the type of device you’re using and your method of registration.

Unfortunately, dating apps, especially those facing backlash or surrounded by controversies have more than the usual share of hiccups. You can tryusing another equally good app like Tinder on your browserand see if you get matched with someone.
