According to the new update, the Tinder app has recently tightened facial verification to combat online dating scams as scams are increasingly sophisticated. Tinder can ask users to take selfies directly so that the system can compare them with the profile picture. If the data is matched, the account will be stamped with a trust verification stamp.
This measure is considered a move to reduce love scams, personal information theft and cases of impersonation that are already causing pain on the platform.
For users who are serious about finding relationships, facial verification is considered a positive thing. They believe that this is a layer of security to help limit the risk of encountering fake or fraudulent accounts.
On Reddit, many comments praised this as "a step in the right direction but there must be transparency in the way data is handled".
Many people think that facial verification is necessary, but users should make their own decisions, avoid putting pressure or creating a sense of control.
The Reddit member added, I support facial verification, but let me know where the data is processed and who has access.
