No more fake dates: Tinder will require facial verification to confirm users are real.

Tinder is a dating app that connects strangers with similar interests. All you need to do is upload a photo and a brief description to start searching for the love of your life. However, we often discover fake profiles and people pretending to be someone they're not , using other people's photos. Fortunately, the app aims to put an end to this problem for good.

Tinder wants to ensure that users are real and has announced the expansion of facial recognition verification, which searches for matches based on profile photos, to improve digital security.

Every new Tinder user must complete a short video selfie , which the dating platform will use to detect whether the user is a "real, physically present" person and to verify that the face matches the one in the profile photos.

This is already happening in Colombia, Canada, Australia, India, and some Southeast Asian countries, as well as in the state of California in the United States. Now, the company has announced plans to extend it to the entire United States and its intention to roll it out globally , as stated in its press release.

"We've tested Face Check extensively and are confident in its positive impact on the Tinder ecosystem. Safety is fundamental to the Tinder experience , embedded in how people join, match, and connect," said Spencer Rascoff, CEO of Match Group and head of Tinder.

The company explains that video selfies are only used for verification and are deleted shortly afterward . What is stored is an encrypted facial map and facial vector, which are used to verify the photos, but also to detect fraud and prevent duplicate accounts.

Combined with other security measures, they claim to reduce exposure to potential malicious actors by more than 60 percent and reduce reports of malicious actors by more than 40 percent.
