Tinder lets you prove who you are through video selfie

Dating app Tinder has expanded its photo verification process to include video. In this way, the app can check whether the person using the app is really who they say they are. If you use Tinder, you can set it so that you only want to swipe and match with people who have been verified. In this way, a threshold is created for people who have evil intentions.

Video verification on Tinder

You can swipe with people who aren’t verified, but they’ll be told to confirm who they are before they can message you. That way you are more likely to talk to the person he or she claims to be and that promotes security on the platform. Although, of course, it should certainly be noted that someone can still treat you badly: even if he or she is who he or she shows in the photos.

Tinder wants to make the matching process more authentic and secure by giving users tools to only speak to people who have been verified. It’s always a good idea to confirm your identity to Tinder if you want more matches: according to Tinder’s senior vice president, Rory Kozoll, people between the ages of 18 and 25 are 10 percent more likely to be matched if their profile is verified.

Blue check marks

Yet not a huge number of people have confirmed their profile yet. Currently, 40 percent of Tinder members have a blue check mark. Although blue tick has gotten a somewhat negative taste from Twitter, it is still a way to prove authenticity on Tinder, among others. It’s one of the many methods Tinder uses to make the dating app more secure.

An interesting side effect of this check mark policy is that you are also forced to put newer photos on your profile. After all, that nice and young-looking you with 20 kilos lighter on your body may no longer be representative of the powerful person you are now. Or maybe you used to be extremely thin, but now you’ve spent enough time in the gym to be compared to a wardrobe. No matter what you look like now, it’s always better to have photos from now on your profile, not only because of that verification that might otherwise fail, but also because you don’t have to worry about someone not liking you. when you wait for your date at the cafe.
