Tinder is adding ID Verification option for all users

Online dating app Tinder will soon be making its ID Verification option available to all users around the world. According to The Verge, Tinder said on Monday that it will make its ID Verification feature available to all members around the world ‘in the coming quarters’. The feature which has already been live in Japan since 2019, will allow users to verify their identities by uploading official documentation including a passport or license. However, that may vary from country to country. The dating app company, through an official statement, had said that it will take into “consideration recommendations from experts and input from Tinder members about which documents would be used in each country as well as local regulations and laws while it rolls out the feature”. Tinder had also stated that it will use the feedback from the same to ensure the process is ‘privacy-friendly’. The Verge quoted Rory Kozoll, head of trust and safety product at Tinder, saying that the company is taking a ‘test-and-learn’ approach to the ID verification launch.
