Tinder has introduced its new Face Check feature in Canada, excluding Quebec, to tackle the issue of fake profiles and enhance user trust.

This initiative addresses the widespread concern among dating app users about being catfished, with many having experienced it firsthand. Since its release, nearly all active Tinder users in Canada have completed Face Check, with a significant majority earning the Photo Verified badge.
