Along with the new security measures released in the past week, Tinder has a ‘blue tick’ feature. The photo verification system will work by taking the exposure shown by a model in a sample photo in real time by users. The photos taken will then be sent to Tinder’s community team to compare both the photos taken and the profile photos selected by users. If everything goes well, users will get ‘blue tick’ so that users will be comfortable to not be fooled by users who have blue tick. For now, it will only be available in Taiwan and Ireland: For now, real people will verify the photos, but Tinder’s ultimate goal is to leave this process to the software. However, it is unknown when this step will be taken. On the other hand, Tinder, which has millions of users worldwide, has chosen pilot countries for blue tick implementation. These countries are Ireland and Taiwan. It is not yet known whether the new application will prevent confusion on the platform. People cut their hair and beards, lose weight, age. This means that the profile photos that users use for verification will eventually become outdated. Tinder; it did not explain how long the verification tick will be valid or whether it will expire. In addition, it is not known whether this verification should be made again whenever people want to update their photos. For now, users are writing in the explanation section if they have changed their appearance. In addition to photo verification, Tinder will introduce a feature that will detect offensive messages and ask users if a message bothers them. Also, a feature that will provide the opportunity to retrieve the message will be included in the application. This new feature is similar to the one introduced by Instagram in 2017.
