Want to Make Sure Your Date Looks Like Their Profile Picture?

To take some of the mystery out of online dating, Zoosk recently launched Photo Verification–a new feature that confirms the authenticity of profile pictures. The verification process compares profile photos with private selfie-videos that Zooskers submit. If the video and pictures match, you’ll receive a badge on your profile picture. When other singles see this, they’ll know that your picture looks like you. When you see a badge, you’ll know that your online date looks like their profile picture.
