Face Check will scan new members' faces to ensure they don't match existing profiles. The move comes as romance scams continue to proliferate, with billions lost over the last decade. On Wednesday, Tinder announced that it was rolling out a mandatory facial verification tool for new users in the US to help combat the spread of fake profiles and weed out "bad actors." Tinder claims its mandatory facial integration feature, called Face Check, is a first for a major dating app. During the sign up process, new members complete a "liveness check" by taking a short video selfie within the app.

Zohran Mamdani gave Hinge an unofficial boost last month when the New York mayoral candidate revealed that he met his wife, Rama Duwaji, through swiping. "There is still hope on those dating apps," he said on the Bulwark podcast a week before his stunning victory in the Democratic primary. The tidbit spread over social media, cementing the 33-year-old democratic socialist's status as a millennial everyman. A subsequent Cosmopolitan headline read: "Zohran Mamdani could make history (as the first NYC mayor to meet his wife on Hinge)." Representatives for Hinge would not comment, but plenty of eligible New Yorkers did, claiming they would redownload the app due to Mamdani's success, in spite of their dating fatigue.

Short men around the world were devastated by the news this week that Tinder is introducing an experimental height filter. Spotted within the Premium Discovery section of Tinder's Settings, the tool allows users to specify the minimum and maximum heights for their matches. So, is it really over for so-called'short kings'? MailOnline spoke to experts to get to the bottom of it - revealing the most attractive heights for both men and women. Surprisingly, research shows that the most attractive height is quite a bit taller than the average height of the population.

But Tinder has sparked controversy this week, following the launch of its latest feature. The dating app has quietly started testing a height filter. Spotted within the Premium Discovery section of Tinder's Settings, the tool allows users to specify the minimum and maximum heights for their matches. Posting a screenshot to Reddit, user @Extra_Barracudaaaa wrote: 'Oh God. They add a height filter.'

'The Big Weekend Show' co-hosts discuss Tinder user traffic peaking during'Dating Sunday.' Spencer Rascoff, the CEO of Tinder parent company Match Group, is promising to change the reputation of Tinder as a casual hookup app into a more serious dating app. They don't drink as much alcohol, they don't have as much sex," Rascoff said to a group of investors, according to The Wall Street Journal. "We need to adapt our products to accept that reality." Unlike the millennial generation, which helped popularize Tinder and shaped the dating app into a domestic and international success, Gen Z appears to be less interested in purely casual dating experiences. Some commentators believe that Gen Z is a generation that is tired of "ghosting," which is defined as suddenly cutting off communications with another person without warning, and instead seeking more authentic dating experiences.

In September 2023, Adam Raines made a Reddit post revealing what feels like a near-universal problem for singles: His dating app conversations are painfully boring. Attached to the post, titled "Sometimes, texting on dating apps feelings (sic) like hitting your head against a brick wall," is a screenshot of a bone-dry Tinder conversation between him and one of his matches, in which Raines' curiosity is met with short, dead-ended answers. "The vast majority of my online dating interactions have been like that," says Raines, 25, a gay man living in the UK who asked to use a pseudonym to protect his privacy. Many users in the thread echoed his sentiment and offered explanations or theories as to why conversations on dating apps are often unsatisfying. "I see I'm not the only one getting that type of energy lol," one wrote, as another noted, "It sucks, and if people swiped more mindfully this wouldn't happen, but a lot of guys are so beaten down by the dating app experience they feel like they don't have any other choice and want whatever validation they can get."

Finding love in Washington state could come with a price. A bill proposed by two state Democratic lawmakers would impose a tax on dating apps. Under the terms of House Bill 2071, dating app companies would be required to pay 1 per Washington-based user each month, regardless of whether the user pays for the service. The money would be used to fund domestic violence programs. The money would be put into the newly created state Domestic Violence Services Account, which funds intervention programs and support services for victims.
