Use Tinder’s Verified Checkmark to Get Social Status
We suggest verifying your profile as soon as you can whether you think it is important or not for making Tinder safer. As it is a new feature, not a lot of people have verified yet, so you can gain a little bit of social status boost for free by displaying the blue check mark on your profile.
Blue checkmarks on other social platforms like Facebook or Twitter are only granted for celebrities so you can be sure to get a little bit more attention from others until the blue checkmark is still a new thing.
Is Verified on Tinder a Scam or Legit?
Tinder Verify is absolutely legit, as it is Tinder Support Team who is making the call whether a profile is not catfishing or just a bot account. Although it doesn’t mean that everything your see on a Tinder profile is 100% real.
Keep in mind that once someone is verified on Tinder, it only means that the person who is behind the profile writing messages is the same person who is on the profile pictures of that specific Tinder account. A profile can be verified by Tinder, but every other part of his profile can be a total scam. Fake name, fake age, fake work and educution info, etc. So, it is always great to skeptical.
To make sure someone is not a creep, you can use the new video call feature of Tinder called, Tinder Face to Face.
