Overview
- The company says its Face Check system will become mandatory for all new U.S. sign-ups in the coming months, expanding beyond California where it is already in place.
- Face Check asks newcomers to submit a short video selfie for a 3D liveness scan that verifies likeness to profile photos and flags attempts to reuse the same face across multiple accounts.
- Tinder reports early deployments delivered roughly a 60% reduction in exposure to potential bad actors and more than a 40% decline in related user reports.
- The app says video selfies are deleted after review but it retains an encrypted, non‑reversible face map and face vector to verify future photos and detect fraud.
- Match Group plans to extend Face Check to other company apps in 2026 after rolling it out in more U.S. states and building on launches in countries including Colombia, Canada, Australia and India.
