Bumble obtains an identification verification

Bumbles deploys an optional identification verification, adding badges to the profiles of users who confirmed their identity using identity cards issued by the government. It happens as part of a series of security updates that include a new sharing date feature intended to allow you to quickly share your appointments with your friends and family.

Identification verification is Now available in 11 marketsIncluding the United States and the United Kingdom, with plans to develop more. It requires the download of a copy of an identity document issued by the government, such as a passport or a driving license and take a selfie. There is no need to go through this verification, but Bumble will add a badge to the user profiles who have it. It also allows users to filter the verified profiles and request matches to be checked officially.

In addition to the verification, Bumble also adds a new feature called Share Date. This allows you to send details on the dates planned directly to trust, including the possibility of updating these details from the Bumble application in case the plans change. The company claims that 67% of users of the American meeting application that he interviewed last month already share the details of the date with friends, which should rationalize this process.

Finally, Bumble will now alert users who are about to send a cat message he detects does not respond to the behavior of the application community, giving them the possibility of modifying it. The application already emits these alerts for messages sent using the functionality of compliments, but will now do for regular chat messages as well.

Identification verification and date sharing correspond to similar features already proposed by Tinder. This application for the first time launched an identification verification in Japan in 2019, but has not completely deployed elsewhere Until last year.
