This is their new verification system, it requires a card or passport

Tinder is an application that has adapted to get closer to younger generations and thus continue to grow in the number of users, but due to the use of AI to impersonate a personwas forced to introduce its advanced identification system in four new countries.

Not only because of the theft of person’s identity thanks to artificial intelligence, but there are countries, like Colombia, where the crime rate using this application is increasing To some extent, this forces Tinder to use a system that actually identifies the person behind the profile.

With this new system, also the use of fake profiles will be avoided, very common in this application for all types of tasks. And Tinder announced that it would launch its identity verification system in the United States, the United Kingdom, Brazil and Mexico.

Tinder will check date of birth

The new system requires the user Upload an image of your driver’s license or passport and a video so that your identity can be identified. The action of uploading a video has existed for some time in Europe, so in this case it is not something new, and this has served precisely to verify the identity of the person so that any user can see their blue label on his profile. .

The big news is the use of a passport or driving license. Once you upload to the app, Tinder will check if you are the same person as the uploaded video and photos posted on your profile. Also, day of birth will be confirmed

on the card or passport so that it matches the age set by the user. This means you can say goodbye to users who lie about their real age.
