Online dating is an ever-changing industry and privacy is an important factor in the success of any platform. This is why Tinder is fortifying its photo verification system with video as an added measure to ensure users’ safety. Starting today, people who wish to access the app must take a series of video selfies to verify their identity and earn the coveted verified blue-checkmark. This method is rolling out globally to ensure that only real people sign up, and to prevent AI “hound dogs” from entering the platform.
Tinder is the popular online dating app founded in 2012 and released in 2014 by IAC and its founders Sean Rad, Jonathan Badeen, Justin Mateen, Joe Munoz, Dinesh Moorjani, and Whitney Wolfe Herd. It is now used by millions of people around the world and has helped many people find their perfect match. This new video feature will make it even easier for people to verify their identity, while further curbing potential scammers or creepy individuals. Furthermore, by strengthening its verification system, Tinder is striving to take users’ dating experience to the next level and ensure complete safety and security.
