Overview
- Face Check requires a short in-app video selfie to confirm liveness and match profile photos, and it flags duplicate faces across accounts.
- Tinder says video captures are deleted after review while an encrypted, non‑reversible face map and face vector are retained to verify future photos and deter fraud.
- The requirement is already active in California and in countries including Colombia, Canada, Australia and India, with a state-by-state U.S. rollout planned in the coming months.
- Company-reported results show about a 60% reduction in exposure to suspected bad actors and a 40% decline in related user reports during testing.
- Match plans to bring Face Check to its other dating apps in 2026, with biometric and age‑verification practices drawing regulatory scrutiny as it also pilots age checks with Tools for Humanity.
