Here is an Xposed Module for hooking Grindr to fix a few bugs, and deal with ads and other things, given those have made the app almost unusable...
These will change over time / need to be updated as new versions of Grindr get releaseed, this currently works with 8.10.0 which is now rolling out.
-This should allow you to unsend messages multiple times (a feature of the XMPP Protocol used by Grindr) as long as they were relatively recent messages
-This should also allow you to send as many expiring photos as you wish.
-This should block / remove most ads but not all of them on it's own (more info on this will be shared below...)
-This should allow you to use FakeGPS
-This should fix bugs where some filters were not working as they should
-You should be able to enable the "mark who I've chatted with" option, which before would pop up ads
This will not enable things such as disabling the VPN check (someone complained about this where I was posting before) If I enable this I will let you know, but for now it's not in here
I WILL NOT help you troubleshoot device specific problems, I am releasing this as an Xposed module, and that's where it's been tested, It has also worked under EdXposed and LSPosed but I cannot guarantee this for you, and you are on your own if you have problems with those. I have tested this on everything from Android 5 to Android 10, I have not tested on the newest versions of the Android OS but if you have XPosed or other way of running such modules on the newer OS it should work.
This will make your grid look like it's Unlimited, but if you scroll down to that area and select one of those profiles it may load the first profile in the grid, The main reason for this module was to deal with the annoyance of ads and other slight bugs in the program, if you have issues please share what they are and what did / didn't work properly.
TO REMOVE MORE ADS
----------------------------------
If you can run XPosed I will assume you have root access, which will allow you to remove ads completely with this method. Grindr processes "features" and the list inside the app is as follows
Subscriber,
FreeTrial,
HideBannerAds, <====
HideFullScreenAds, <====
UnlimitedFavorites,
UnlimitedBlocks,
MyTypeFilters,
PhotosOnlyFilter,
OnlineNowFilter,
FaceOnlyFilter,
AlbumsOnlyFilter,
HaventChattedFilter,
ChatRemoteProfiles,
TapRemoteProfiles,
SavedPhrases,
HaveChattedHighlight,
LongCascade,
TapFilters,
SendMultiplePics,
MoreChatGroups,
LastChattedTimestamp,
ChatReadStatus,
MultiTribes,
Incognito,
ViewedMeCascade,
ViewedMeTimestamp,
UnsentMessage,
UnlimitedCascade,
TypingIndicator,
CreateVideoCall,
VideoCallMonthlyCalculateLengthMedium,
TranslateMessage,
UnlimitedExpiringPhotos,
HideXtraStore,
HideUnlimitedStore,
ShortCascade,
MediumCascade,
MoreGuysCascade,
DisableScreenshot,
Boosting,
ABTestViewedMeCascadeLabelFront,
ABTestViewedMeCascadeLabelBehind,
NewWarnings,
LongTagCascade,
UnlimitedTagCascade;
It also processes some "features" through a file called "jwt_features_fallback.xml" which is located in "/data/data/com.grinderapp.android/shared_prefs" normally this files looks like this:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8' standalone='yes' ?>
<map>
<long name="session_expiration_time" value="1654228104000" />
<string name="session_features_fallback">CreateVideoCall,,MaxViewQuota5,,MultiTribes,,PushPreview,,VideoCallDailyFree</string>
<string name="session_roles_fallback"></string>
</map>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you add the "features" in there HideFullScreenAds and HideBannerAds that will remove the remaining ads so you have a hassle free experience when using the app. These changes only last one hour, and this patcher does not adjust that file as this is currently beyond my knowledge and know-how so you will have to do this manually. If you have questions, please try something and if you need help please ask and I will respond as time permits or others can if they have fixed problems and know how.

I hope I won't get banned like some guys who used a similar mod before. Once they block you, there's practically no way of getting your account reinstated.
So far it works as intended. No ads whatsoever, filters and cloud backup work, more guys visible in the cascade.
Any chance of making it possible to see more than 1 visitor?
My phone S20 Ultra with Android 12, latest Magisk Alpha and LSposed 1.8.3 (6565). When using LSposed you need to add Grindr to the scope list to make the mod work.

There are many things possible, the issue is figuring out what needs to be done to make the viewers list show up. I have looked at the code slightly but have not made much progress there yet. If you use Jadx you can view the code in the APK if anyone is wondering what tools I've used, that is one of the main ones for viewing various parts of the apk file.

Hello and good morning, @innit
I'd like to inform you that I've very slightly edited your post and changed those words, which were in violation of rule no. 2 of the XDA Forum Rules; however, I'm convinced that my change didn't alter the information you intended to pass. I'd appreciate if you watch your language closer in future.
Additionally and although I'm convinced you didn't mean it that way, the words you initially used could at the first glace been easily referred to the moderators team of this website. I guess we want to avoid this.
Regards
