GRATISDATINGTIPS – Tinder has started testing a new form of profile verification using a video called "Selfie Verification." The feature is rolling out in selected test markets. To verify that users are who they say they are, Tinder introduced photo verification in 2020. This feature allows users to authenticate themselves through a series of real-time posed selfies (photos), which are compared to existing profile photos using human-assisted AI technology. The video verification is done with technology from FaceTec, a company that specializes in facial authentication, according to code from the Tinder (Android) app. Although the partnership has not yet been officially announced, FaceTec itself confirms that Tinder uses the technology on its website. The advantage of FaceTec technology over current photo verification is that it is not based on 2D photos but on 3D images. The technology also tests whether the user is physically present by matching them with their photo ID or 3D FaceMap created from the profile photos. FaceTec's AI would also be able to create a 3D age estimate for each verified user, allowing potential minors to be flagged by the app. The code in the Tinder app also reveals that Tinder will offer the possibility to scan a passport – both with the camera and with NFC.
