Here’s what’s going on—and how you might fix it—when you see “Google authorization failed” or “Apple authorization failed” errors on Grindr:
What the Errors Mean
Google Authorization Failed
Users report this issue when attempting to log in or sign up with Google on Grindr. Attempts via Facebook and Apple may also fail, even after standard troubleshooting like reinstalling the app, force-closing it, or switching networks.
Apple Authorization Failed
Similar complaints exist for Apple sign-in, with users sometimes blocked from login despite multiple attempts.
What Other Users Have Tried
Some common user-reported solutions from Reddit include:
“Go on your google account and look for connections and in the list of connected stuff find Grindr then delete the connection then try. That worked for me.”
Others speculate the issue may be regional or tied to account bans:
“Some people also have had the same issue. I don’t know if it’s region specific or what.”

Suggested Fixes to Try
1. Remove Grindr from your Google Account connections
Go to your Google Account → Security → Manage third-party access
Locate Grindr and revoke its access
Try signing in again via Google
2. Reinstall the App & Reset Auth Methods
Delete and reinstall Grindr
Restart your device
Attempt login via Apple/Google/Facebook again
3. Use Email-based Signup Instead
If social logins fail, try creating or logging in using an email and password instead
4. Try a VPN (with caution)
Some users say using a VPN helps, though this may not work consistently and could violate Grindr’s policies
When These Workarounds Don’t Help
If none of the above resolves the issue:
Contact Grindr Support—they may need to reset something on your account or help identify bans or region-specific blocks.
Wait & Retry Later—some authorization issues may resolve on their own if related to backend systems.
Summary Table
| Issue | Possible Fixes |
|---|---|
| Google Authorization Failed | Revoke Grindr connection, reinstall app, use email signup |
| Apple Authorization Failed | Reinstall app, try different login method, contact support |
