Tinder is an online dating app that allows users to connect with potential matches through a simple swiping mechanism. Users can swipe right to like a profile or left to pass, and if two users swipe right on each other, a match is created, enabling them to start a conversation. The app operates on a freemium model, providing basic features for free while offering premium subscriptions like Tinder Plus, Tinder Gold, and Tinder Platinum, which unlock additional features such as unlimited swipes and the ability to swipe in different locations. Tinder stands out from its competitors due to its massive user base, having facilitated over 97 billion matches and serving around 50 million users monthly across 190 countries. The company's goal is to help people make meaningful connections and enhance their dating experiences.

Tinder To Expand Id Verification To Us And Uk

After a pilot program in Australia and New Zealand, Tinder will be expanding its identity verification feature to users in the United States, the United Kingdom, Brazil and Mexico. The option aims to help users confirm the authenticity of profiles by verifying key information, such as date of birth and likeness, the dating app said in a Tuesday (Feb. 20) press release. The enhanced process will require users to submit a video selfie along with a valid driver’s license or passport, according to the release. The system will then check if the face in the video selfie matches both the photo on the ID and the person’s profile photos, as well as verify the date of birth on the ID
