Match Group removes 44 spam accounts every minute
Match Group, the parent company of dating apps like Tinder, Hinge, Match, and others, announced today that every minute, it removes 44 spam accounts on average across its portfolio. Further, nearly 5 million bot and spam accounts have been removed between January and March 2023 — either before gaining access to the platform, or shortly after signup.
The dating app giant has been making considerable efforts to curb spammers — and scammers — recently. In addition to Tinder adding background checks through a partnership with non-profit Garbo in 2022, the app rolled out a new selfie video verification system a few months ago.

According to Tinder, scammers have evolved to exploit common behaviors like including a social media handle in their bio, which they can use to get users on a third-party site.

Recently, Tinder changed its Community Guidelines to disallow social handles in bios. The app said its purpose is for personal connections, not business ones — and people shouldn't be on there to sell or fundraise.
