Tinder Adds Background Checks to Its Dating App
Match Group’s Tinder is introducing a tool to let users run background checks on prospective dates, as the company continues to address concerns about the safety of dating apps.
Tinder members who tap the feature in the app’s safety center will be directed to Garbo to fill in information about themselves as well as details about their match, such as name and phone number.
Garbo will surface arrests and convictions for certain violent crimes, as well as sex offender registry status, and indicate whether it has high, medium or low confidence in the results.
