Today, the need for genuine connection has never been greater. Meeting new people should feel exciting and secure — with tools that make it easier to trust and connect authentically. That's why we're excited to announce a new collaboration with Match Group, the global leader in meaningful connections.
This partnership underscores Match Group’s deep commitment to trust, safety, and user choice, as they continue to explore innovative technologies that foster authentic connections while protecting user privacy.
A New Era for Digital Dating
Match Group will pilot using World ID as a simple and secure solution for age verification, beginning with Tinder users in Japan.
For Tinder users, this provides an additional layer of trust: making it easier to engage with confidence, and helping to show that the profiles they interact with represent real people seeking real connections. With verified profiles, finding your next great story — whether it’s a spark, a situationship, or something epic — just got a whole lot more real. Because when people can trust who they’re connecting with, the possibilities are endless: real magic, real butterflies, real heartbreak, and everything in between.
We’re excited to bring this to real humans soon.
Building a More Human Internet, One Connection at a Time
This collaboration is part of a long-term vision for a more authentic internet — one where people can easily verify themselves without sacrificing their privacy. As AI continues to advance, the ability to confirm that a real person is behind every interaction will be essential to preserving trust and authenticity online.
Technology helps us find each other. Real people make it meaningful.
