Tinder launches new video call feature
Does this mean people won't be able to catfish anymore?

Now they have decided to switch things up with a new 'Face to Face' video call feature.

How it works is that it allows members (who have matched) to share a video call after they've activated the feature and only after both have activated it.
Both users will not be able to tell if the other has enabled it and they can turn it on and off at any time.
