Many dating sites if they have not already are adding new safety features to help protect their members, namely photo verification, in-app safety check-ins during dates, and a built-in panic button.
When meeting someone online, it can be risky if you know nothing
about the person. One can take many safety precautions: meeting in a
well-populated place, and letting friends and family know where you will be
during the date, and this is where the check-ins during dates and a built-in
panic button comes in.
The move came about after an investigation by ProPublica and
Columbia Journalism found that several popular dating apps allowed known sex
offenders to use their interfaces and create accounts.
While most dating sites offer tips on protecting yourself when
meeting someone in person, these extra features can make your dating experience
a little more worry-free.
