Tinder makes it easy to meet new people and helps members get at the top of their online dating game. However, safety always comes first and is non-negotiable. To help ensure that everyone has a safe and enjoyable experience, Tinder is taking things up a notch with an update to their photo verification feature. Tinder members value authenticity and genuine connection. The Photo Verification feature has been especially popular among 18-25-year-old members, with nearly 40%* of all Tinder members receiving their Photo Verified blue checkmark.
