How to Fix the Sign-Up Spam Verification Error on Grindr

Getting stuck on the “You're almost there!” screen during Grindr’s sign-up process can be frustrating.

If you see the message “Something went wrong. Tap to retry” or your verification step won’t load, this issue prevents you from creating a new account.

Why Does This Error Happen?

The Grindr spam verification error typically occurs when you try to create or log into an account and you run into a white blank screen. It is different from the Grindr Registration Error and usually appears with this message:

“You're almost there! To help us fight spam, please complete this verification step.” “Something went wrong. Tap to retry.”

Common Causes of the Error

• Server Issues – Grindr’s servers may be down or overloaded.
• Suspicious Activity – Repeated account deletions, frequent sign-up attempts, or reinstalling the app multiple times can trigger anti-spam checks.
• Network Problems – Unstable internet or blocked IP addresses from certain networks can interfere.
• App Issues – Corrupted files, cached data, or outdated app versions may prevent verification.

When Does This Error Occur?

• During poor Wi-Fi or mobile data connectivity.
• After deleting an account and immediately trying to create a new one.
• When reinstalling Grindr multiple times in a short period.

How to Fix the Grindr Spam Verification Error

1. Restart the App, Clear Cache, and Update

• Force quit the Grindr app from the app switcher.
• Clear cache:
  • Android: Go to Settings > Apps > Grindr > Storage > Clear Cache.
  • iOS: Uninstalling and reinstalling the app clears the cache automatically.
• Update Grindr to the latest version from the App Store or Google Play Store.
• Restart your device and try again.

2. Use Google or Facebook Sign-In to Bypass the Spam Verification Screen

If the spam verification page isn’t loading and appears blank, try signing up using Google or Facebook instead of entering your details manually. Steps to Bypass the Blank Verification Page:

1. On the sign-up screen, select “Sign in with Google” instead of manually entering your email.
2. Log in with a new Gmail account (one that hasn’t been used for Grindr before).
3. If successful, it should bypass the blank verification page and allow you to complete registration.
4. If you don’t have a new Gmail, you can try the “Sign in with Facebook” option to see if it works the same way.

This method has been confirmed to work with Google sign-in, but results may vary with other options. If the issue persists, try the other troubleshooting steps above.

3. Switch Network Connections

• Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data to check if the issue persists.
• Avoid public Wi-Fi, as it may be flagged by Grindr’s anti-spam system.

4. Use a VPN

• Download a trusted VPN (search for a reputable one online).
• Connect to a different server location (another country or city).
• Open Grindr and try to sign up again. A VPN can bypass network restrictions.

5. Sign Up Using a New Phone Number with DatingZest

If your phone number is flagged or blocked, use DatingZest’s Grindr phone verification service.

• Get a new, valid phone number for verification.
• Quick and reliable—helps you bypass errors and create a fresh account.

6. Wait Before Trying Again

• Grindr’s anti-spam system temporarily blocks repeated sign-up attempts.
• Wait 24-48 hours before trying again.

7. Contact Grindr Support

If none of the above solutions work, reach out to Grindr Support via their help center.

• Provide details about the issue.
• Include a screenshot of the error message.

Is This Error Related to a Grindr Ban?

Not always, but it can be indirectly related in some cases:

• Deleted Accounts – Grindr may temporarily block your device or IP to prevent misuse.
• Banned Accounts – Signing up with the same phone number or device can trigger the error.
• Too Many Sign-Up Attempts – Multiple accounts created in a short time can flag your activity as suspicious.

How to Check if You’re Banned

• Check your email for any ban notifications from Grindr.
• Try signing up with a new phone number using DatingZest’s verification service.
• If your account is banned, you’ll need a new number or device to create a fresh account.

Final Thoughts

Grindr’s spam verification error can be frustrating, but you can fix it by clearing cache, switching networks, using a VPN, or signing up with a new phone number via DatingZest. If the issue persists, contact Grindr support for help.

Follow these steps, and you’ll be back on Grindr in no time!
