Dating app Tinder will now "verify" users in order to prove they're not using fake photos.
Verified Tinder users will get a blue checkmark on their profile.
Here's a step-by-step guide for how to get verified on Tinder.
Online dating might be a norm now, but it still comes with a whole host of awkward nuances that singles end up having to navigate, from choosing a photo that best represents you, to figuring out what the hell to write in your bio, and how to stand apart from the crowd with your opening message. And then there are the catfishes to deal with; fake accounts which use other people's photos to deceive us.
The dating app Tinder is now allowing its users to prove they are exactly who they say they are, providing the option to "verify" their profiles with a blue checkmark, similar to social platforms like Twitter and Instagram. This will mean that Tinder has confirmed the person in the profile photo to be a genuine user.
However, unlike those other networks, blue checkmarks aren't reserved for celebrities, politicians and public figures. Anybody on Tinder can request to get verified, by following a simple process that only takes a minute.
In the app, go to your account page by tapping on the top-right head and shoulders icon.
Next to your profile picture, you will see a grayed out tick. Tap on it, and a bubble will appear asking you if you want to verify your profile. Confirm that you do.
Tinder will then show you a portrait of a model; using the in-app camera, you will need to strike a pose as similar as possible to that of the person in the picture, and take a photo. (You may need to allow the app to access your smartphone's camera to do this.)
You will be asked to submit a couple of different poses; this is to enable Tinder's facial recognition software to ensure that you are, in fact, the same person in the photos on your profile.
Once you have submitted the photos, Tinder will review them and let you know if you have been verified. You should get a response within a few minutes.
If you are successful, then a blue checkmark will appear next to your name on your profile, and people swiping through the app will be able to trust that the person they see in the profile picture will be the person they are talking to.
FYI, single women on Tinder are really into guys with this random job:
Verification is an important online dating feature that lets you know that a match is who they say they are. Tinder introduced photo verification in 2020, and currently all you need for verification is a video of your face.
On Tinder – in the 18-25 age group – being Photo Verified bumps up their chance to match by 10% as users feel more confident that their potential match is genuine and looks like their photos.
But please understand that, while the blue check mark can be a signal that someone is who they claim based on the photos they have provided to Tinder, it is not a guarantee of the authenticity of the information provided by another Tinder user nor should it be considered a replacement for using your best judgment (and ...
Once you learn how to get verified on Tinder, it will automatically boost your matches. This is because the other person will find your profile more credible and know that you are an authentic user.
You shouldn't. It's possible that a currently unverified account is a real user who just has yet to verify themselves. When it comes to matching with other users, judge all users the same. Look for at least 3 images, preferably taken on 3 totally different days and including more than just their face.
How do you know when someone's profile is verified? That's easy — you'll see a trusty blue tick after the name and age of the person in your feed while you're swiping.
Tinder Gold™ and Tinder Platinum™ subscribers receive one free Boost a month, which expires if unused. Note: Free monthly Boost only available for Tinder Gold™ subscriptions of 1 month or longer.
You'll be redirected to a webpage, where you'll follow the instructions and submit your ID to complete your age verification request. You will be under review until your ID has been verified, which typically takes a few hours. Once your ID has been reviewed, we'll let you know and you can check your results in the app.
If we've determined that you don't meet this requirement, you'll be notified upon login and remain locked out of Tinder for the amount of time specified on the login screen.
The minimum age requirement for Tinder is 18 years old. Depending on your location, you may be required to verify your age to prove that you're 18 years or older and comply with our Terms of Use.
A lot of people think that Tinder ranks its users by their looks, but this is not the case. In fact, there are three main factors in a person's attractiveness: profile pictures (with ROAST this should already be handled for you anyway);
The answer is "yes". Verified profiles have more visibility. There are multiple indicators for this: Top stack profiles (which is the super attractive profile Tinder always tops stacks with) tend to be verified and have bios so that is circ*mstantial evidence that Tinder prioritizes verified profiles.
Without paying, Tinder tells you that someone has liked you, but it doesn't tell you who liked you. The only way to match with that person is to organically swipe "like" on them when they're presented to you in the "random" list of people you get shown on the app.
ID + Photo Verification is an optional process that allows you to show that the photo in your ID, and at least one of your profile photos, look like you. Once you're done, you'll get a new badge on your profile to show people that you've completed the ID + Photo Verification process.
