Overview
- New users are being asked to record a short video selfie that Tinder matches to their profile photos.
- Accounts that match receive a blue Photo Verified badge that signals authenticity to potential matches.
- The feature has started with new sign-ups in India and will expand gradually to all accounts.
- Tinder frames Face Check as part of its wider safety toolkit in India, including ID verification, warnings, and prompts such as “Are You Sure?” and “Does This Bother You?”.
- Match Group’s Yoel Roth says the tool supports genuine connections as authenticity gains importance, aligning with data showing many Indian daters value verification and use precautions like public meetups and video calls.
