As with all other Android emulators, Bluestacks has some problems, especially when working with apps such as Grindr. These challenges range from GPS location to glitches when you are using the app. Here are some of the problems you may run into when using Grindr with Bluestacks.

  • Reason 3: Black screen – this happens when you load the app. The app is running, but Bluestacks simply displays a black screen.
  • Reason 4: Distorted graphics –one of the reasons people use Grindr on Bluestacks is so they can see larger and clearer images on the computer. There are times when the images get distorted when using Grindr on Bluestacks.
  • Reason 5: Keyboard stops working –this is common when suddenly you cannot type messages on Grindr when using Bluestacks.
  • Reason 6: Grindr running slowly on Bluestacks –it takes a long while to communicate with people on the app when using Bluestacks.
  • Reason 7: Grindr cannot be downloaded –at times, when you download apps to work with Bluestacks directly, you can get issues with the download, where it disconnects and you have to start all over again.

Part 2. How to fix Grindr not working on Bluestacks

Luckily, there are certain fixes and workarounds that you can use to overcome the challenges listed above when using Grindr on Bluestacks. Here are the best fixes:

1. Graphics Distortion, Black Screen and Crashing

  • Switch Bluestacks graphics mode -Try switching from Open GL to Direct X or vice-versa. The issue can also be solved by enabling the “Advanced Graphics Mode” for Bluestacks.
  • Change ABI settings –Tweak the Application Binary Interface (ABI) to allow Bluestacks to interface with apps that require ARM libraries to run. This is available for Bluestacks version 4.150 and newer.
  • Update graphics drivers –sometimes the problem with computer displays is having outdated graphics drivers. Update these to resolve the display problem.
  • Update Bluestacks version –sometimes the Bluestacks version you are using does not work well with Grindr. Update Bluestacks to resolve the issue.

2. The app was working and suddenly stopped

  • Force stop the app –Go to the dock of Bluestacks and click on the “More app” icon. Now navigate to “Settings > App” and scroll down to locate the apps installed on Bluestacks. Select the Grindr, and then click on “Force Stop”. Now you can re-launch Bluestacks and then launch Grindr again.
  • Clear App cache –Once more, access the app setting like you did in the step above, but when you select “Grindr” go to “Storage” and then click on “Clear Cache”. Now restart Bluestacks and see if Grindr will work normally.
  • Reinstall Bluestacks and Grindr –sometimes reinstalling both Bluestacks and Grindr can resolve the issue.

3. Download issues
