Grindr partners with Facetec for biometric age assurance in the UK

2025-07-04  Per Henrikson

The UK’s Online Safety Act requires platforms intended for adults to carry out age checks starting July 25. Grindr says it has designed the age check process to prioritize privacy and safety while keeping things simple. It offers two choices for verification: “those using Grindr in the UK can complete a quick video selfie or pair a video selfie with an official photo ID.” Or, they can use “one-time, account-bound flow,” which only needs to be completed once per account.
