Blume iOS Dating App Makes Users Take Selfies Before Connecting

The dating app was built to protect users from speaking with dishonest connections.

Location-based dating app Blume has announced its launch on iPhone, allowing users to anonymously like or skip each potential match, with a verification system in place to help users ensure they’re speaking with a real person.

The Blume dating app allows users to browse potential matches and tap buttons to express an interest in a match, or move on to the next. When two users express an interest in each other, the app will begin a verification process before they’re connected to chat.

This process forces both users to take a selfie of themselves, which can only be seen once they’ve both taken their selfie.
