The popular dating app Tinder has rolled out a new verification method that requires users to use face recognition technology to prove that they are a real person when they first register for the app.

If the biometric facial scan determines that the user is eligible to register, a badge with photo recognition is added to the user’s profile. Shortly after determining the suitability, the submitted selfie video is removed with only two screenshots that are stored to keep the function, according to the Tinder website.
Face Check also ensures that the user’s registration does not have multiple accounts according to the app.
The verification process is independent of Tinder’s ID check, because it is not dependent on someone’s government.

Yoel Roth, head of trust and safety of Tinder’s parent company, Match Group, told Axios that the company sees this as an insurance measure for users.
“We see this as a part of a set of identity assurance options that are available to users,” Roth told Axios. “Face check … is really meant to confirm that this person is a real, living person and not a bone or a falsified account.”
According to Axios, Roth said that the program has already shown promising results in Colombia and Canada. California is the first state in the US, where Tinder requires the new facial control version.
