Tinder Launches Crackdown Against AI Scams, Dating Crimes; New ID Checks Require Passport, Video

[ad_1]  Tinder is expanding its identity verification program at a time when artificial intelligence (AI) can make it hard to tell who's real and crime is rising on dating apps. Tinder, the world's most popular dating platform, is rolling out the system in the US, the UK, Brazil and Mexico over the coming weeks and months. It's already been testing the feature in Australia and New Zealand, where people who had been verified saw a 67% increase in matches compared to those who didn't, the company said in a statement on Tuesday. The process requires a valid driver's license or passport and a self-recorded video. A third-party vendor checks the birth date and whether the face in the video selfie matches the individual's profile photos and ID. Once the user submits the information, it typica...

Threads app first impressions: The good, the bad, and yes, there’s ugly too

[ad_1] It has been a long time since social media space has seen a revolution. Back in the late 90s, messengers used to be the popular hangout spots for early adopters of the internet. Yahoo! Messenger, MSN, and AOL dominated the scene and people would spend hours in chatrooms talking to others about their interests. Alongside, interest-based forums also rose in popularity where people would create discussion boards and talk about their shared hobbies such as gardening, wood-crafting, or book reading. But they were very one-dimensional and there wasn't much you could do.The first big revolution in social media space came with the launch of MySpace, Orkut, and Friendster in the early 2000s which allowed users to make profiles and interact at both individual as well as group levels. So, y...

Now, an AI tool to write your dating profile

[ad_1] Online dating is not easy. Even before you can get to see the potential matches in your area on Tinder, Bumble, and other dating apps, you first have to clear two critical obstacles — first, clicking good pictures of yourself, and second, writing a catchy bio. While both are tricky in their own right, you can at least click pictures in nice locations or with pets to make them look aesthetically pleasing but there is no substitution for good writing skills. That's what used to be true, anyway. With the rise of AI, there is a tool for everything you do online. And it was only a matter of time before someone created an AI app that helps write your bio on dating profiles. Let us check out LoveGenius.What does LoveGenius offer?Writing a good bio is crucial to find good matches. As you...

After All the Hookups, Tinder Wants to Redefine the Relationship

[ad_1] The dating app needs more women and Gen-Z users to swipe right in order to revive growth. Success is far from guaranteed. Tinder is in a rut. Match Group Inc., parent company of the decade-old casual-dating juggernaut, was one of the worst performers on the S&P 500 last year, plunging almost 70% as investors fretted that the app is losing its mojo. Tinder contributes more than half of Match's revenue, but downloads have declined since 2020 and paid user growth has slowed. Attracting and retaining Gen Z and women is a top priority for Match's new Chief Executive Officer Bernard Kim, who ousted Tinder's management team after taking over in June. He brings bags of experience from his previous role at mobile-gaming company Zynga, but his efforts to reinvigorate the brand may...
