Hi there! It sounds like you’re noticing the online status of others on Grindr and might be curious about how it works or maybe how your own status appears to others? Could you tell me a bit more about what you want to know or do? For example, are you wondering how to see when someone is actually online, or how to hide your own online status?

Meanwhile, here’s a bit of info that might help: Grindr generally shows a user as online for up to 10 minutes after they actually go offline, so the status isn’t always a perfect live indicator of being active at the exact moment. Also, you can control your visibility settings within the app, including hiding yourself from certain people or even going fully "offline" so you appear invisible while still browsing13.

If you'd like, I can guide you on how to adjust these privacy settings on your Android device to control your online visibility. Does that sound good?
