Popular Dating Tinder has announced that it will enable the verification feature to all members around the world “in the coming quarter.” In a statement, Tinder said that it takes into account the recommendations of experts to determine “what documents are the most appropriate in every country, and the law and local regulations.” “Products will begin as voluntary, unless mandated by law, and based on the input received will develop to ensure a fair, inclusive and privacy friendly approach to ID verification,” said the company.
How does the ID Tinder verification feature work? Tinder will ask the user to upload the government or another official ID to confirm their identity.
According to the company, the idea behind this is that he wants to make its members safe and give them more confidence that their matches are authentic by giving them more control over who they interact.
There is no word about how features will be launched in India and when.
The first offered in Japan’s verification feature ID Pinder was first launched in Japan in 2019, where the company wants to identify that users are at least 18 years old.
In the country, Tinder allows its users to upload SIMs, passports or health IDs to verify their identity.
In Japan, the company said that he maintained a user ID, or information about their ID up to 90 days after age verification for “quality assurance objectives”.
Recently, Tinder launched a feature that allows members to block personal contacts from the phonebook in the application.
Contact block features allow users to enter which contacts they prefer not to see, or not seen by, on Tinder.
The application says that whether the contact is already on the axis or downloading it later using the same contact information, they will not appear as a potential matching.
