Tinder swipes left on catfishes: Dating app now lets US and UK users scan their passport or driving license to confirm their identity
Parents might have once cautioned against speaking to strangers on the internet. But dating apps are now one of the most common ways for couples around the world to meet. Matching with strangers still has its drawbacks, including the risk of being'catfished'. But help is at hand, as Tinder has launched new verification tools in the UK and US that let users scan their passport or driving licence to confirm their identity. 'Giving users more confidence that their matches are authentic is one of the most valuable things we can do for our users,' said Rory Kozoll, SVP Product Integrity at Tinder.
