# Video-Verification Dating Apps Tinder's Photo Verified Cuties Initiates Video Selfie Procedures By Amy Duong | Published 2023-04-26 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/photo-verified-cuties References: [engadget](https://www.engadget.com/tinder-adds-video-selfies-to-photo-verification-062835070.html)  Tinder is rolling out the new Photo Verified Cuties club which prompts users to participate in a video selfie procedure to verify their identity. To do this, users just need to send a recorded video of themselves in the app using the front camera. Additionally, users are also able to ask a match to verify themselves before they are allowed to send a message as well. If there is currently a verification check mark to a profile, Tinder will also be asking users to re-verify using a video self within the upcoming months according to the company. It also acts as a safety process to help users avoid scams, but it is not a forced process at all.
