Tinder users who prove they are a real person visiting an identity verification orb You’ll soon be able to get five free in-app upgrades, and it’s simply the latest service to embrace the orb. World, co-founded by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, initially tested Tinder verification using its facial scanning orbs through a pilot program in Japan last year. It is now expanding the service to “select markets, including Japan and the United States.”
To verify that they are not a bot or AI agent, users must physically visit one of the world orbs in person. According to Worldthe orb “takes pictures of your face and eyes, then encrypts them and stores them on your phone so that only you control them by default.” After completing the facial scan, users can connect their World ID to eligible apps like Tinder, which gives Orb-verified users a “verified human badge” on their profile. Tinder users can also verify their profile with a photo either a government IDbut the offer of five free upgrades is currently only for those who verify with World ID and is only available for a limited time.
The world is also launching a World ID Appdifferent from the global super app it announced last year. The World ID app is specifically for managing “human proof” verification with the various apps and services that currently accept it, which not only includes Tinder – World is also integrating its ID service into Zoom and Docusign.
