India, Oct. 8 -- Scrolling through dating apps often brings moments of doubt: Was that charming message real, or was it sent by a bot? Fake profiles and scammers have quietly made their way into India's dating scene, complicating the search for genuine connections. Tinder aims to tackle this issue with a new safety feature designed to verify users and reduce deception.

Tinder has introduced Face Check in India, a feature that asks users to take a short video selfie before swiping.

The goal is straightforward: ensure that the person behind the profile is real.
