Tinder has implemented the verification of profiles through ‘videoselfie’ to “strengthen” the existing verification process with photos and, through video and facial recognition technology, certify that the user is who they say they are and is not about a fake profile.

The dating app continues to provide methods to increase security on the social network, with tools that provide one more way to help members “better assess the authenticity of their match.”

One of the security measures currently used is photo verification, an option with which the user can show his possible ‘matches’ that he is really the person he claims to be. To do this, the user has to send a ‘selfie’ photograph taken at the moment for Tinder to compare it with the profile photos. In case of specifying that it is the same person, that user receives a blue verification badge to indicate to the rest of the members that it is a real profile.

Now, the ‘app’ has announced the implementation of a new verification system, with which it will ask the user to record a ‘videosselfie’ to improve the already existing photo verification process and certify that it is the person that appears in said photos.

Tinder users must follow the instructions to obtain verification

As the social network has explained in a statement on its blog, the person must complete “a series of instructions” in the videos that they will have to provide to obtain verification. Once you submit your video, a review process is launched that combines trusted people and facial recognition technology. Thus, a “more real” verification is achieved than with the still photographs that were requested up to now.

In addition, Tinder has indicated that users who are already verified and have the badge will be able to ask other users with whom they interact to carry out this same verification process before chatting. In this way, members will be able to have more control and security in the ‘app’.

Another feature that is added to the verification system, although it will arrive “in the coming months”, is that users will be able to select within their message settings, an option to receive messages only from members who are also verified.

To do this, they only have to select the option ‘Chat with verified photo’. For their part, Tinder Gold members will be able to filter the ‘Likes’ to receive them only from profiles with a verified photo. In the event that a user’s profile is out of date, for example due to not uploading photos often, Tinder will ask all members to update to the latest version of photo verification, including the system with ‘videoselfie’.

The verification of profiles with ‘videoselfie’ is now available globally for all users and free of charge, according to the company.

To start the process, the user will only have to enter the profile and touch the gray mark that appears next to their name. After that, select ‘Get verification’ and a screen will appear with the camera activated and an oval in which the face must be framed. Finally, the user must follow the instructions that appear on the screen and send the brief ‘videoselfie’.

The platform has ensured that almost 40% of members have already received their blue check mark. For all these reasons, the senior vice president of Product Integrity at Tinder, Rory Kozoll, has assured that they will continue to prioritize these methods to “help make Tinder a safer place to meet someone new.”

It is presumed that Match Group, the company owned by Tinder, is delaying its plans for the launch of the metaverse announced in February of this year.

According to a letter sent by the company’s shareholders, these plans would be interrupted by the disappointing results that the application has obtained in recent times.

Executive director Bernard Kim showed through a letter a more cautious and conservative approach regarding the integration of Tinder services and the metaverse.

“However, given the uncertainty over the ultimate contours of the metaverse and what will or won’t work, as well as the more challenging operating environment, I have instructed the Hyperconnect team to iterate but not invest heavily in the metaverse at this time”, Kim indicated.

The Tinder application is implementing the option of uploading the respective identity document of each country, which together with the verification of photos will allow to reinforce the environment of trust among its users and they can interact with complete security.

With this measure, the dating social network hopes to prevent the spread of false profiles, preventing users from suffering a bad experience that could become a danger to their integrity.

The company announced that the verification will be carried out worldwide, on a voluntary basis, except in countries where it is mandatory, such as Japan, where users must demonstrate that they are over 18 years of age to access the application, according to the legal statutes that govern in that country.

Rory Kozoll, Head of Trust & Safety Product, noted: “We know that one of the most valuable things Tinder can do to help users feel safe is to give them more confidence that their partners are authentic and more control over who they interact with. We hope that all of our members, around the world, see the benefits of interacting with people who have gone through our identity verification process.”

Greater security

Tinder, being a dating app, has different levels of security. For some time it has implemented the verification of photos that allows users to be sure that they are really interacting with the person shown in the photo, and now with the upload of the identity document it will enhance security for the users of the app.

Additionally, the social network also announced its integration with Garbo. A platform oriented to background checks, according to the public information offered by the countries.

The association with Garbo, the verification of photos and identity, increase the security levels generating the construction of a more secure digital environment and thus provide the possibility of using this type of official identification in the verification of profiles in all social networks.
