Why Is My Selfie Under Review on Tinder Out of Nowhere?

Tinder's new system reviews selfies to prevent catfishing, detect bots, and improve safety.

This is necessary because many users get verified with a blue tick and later switch their photos to someone else.

Understanding why and when these reviews happen can help you navigate the platform and comply with Tinder's guidelines.

Why is My Selfie Under Review on Tinder?

Your selfie is under review to verify your identity and ensure that you're not using someone else's photos. This process helps maintain the integrity of the platform by confirming that users are presenting their true selves.

When Does This Happen?

This typically occurs when you update your profile photos, Tinder detects suspicious activity, or if your account has been flagged for potential violations of community guidelines.

How Long Does the Selfie Review Take on Tinder?

The selfie review on Tinder usually takes a few minutes to a couple of hours. However, in some cases, it may take longer, 2-3 days and you might need to contact Tinder support for assistance if the review process seems unusually delayed.

What to Do If the Selfie Review Takes Too Long on Tinder

While your Tinder account is under review, you can't access it, swipe, delete your account, or send/receive messages. Here’s what you can do if the selfie review takes too long:

1. Submit a Request to Tinder: Visit Tinder’s help center and explain your situation.
2. Be Patient: Wait for the review process to complete.
3. Use our service DatingZest to create a new Tinder account if you were banned or shadowbanned after the selfie verification process is done.

These steps can help expedite the review and get you back on Tinder.

Difference Between a Tinder Account Under Review and a Selfie Under Review

Tinder Account Under Review:

• Context: “Your account is under review” on Tinder means that your entire account is being checked to ensure it complies with Tinder's terms of use and community guidelines.
• Purpose: The review process verifies that you haven't engaged in activities that violate Tinder’s rules, such as inappropriate behavior, harassment, or using fake profiles.
• Impact: During this period, your account will be paused and inaccessible until it is verified that no violations have occurred.

Selfie Under Review:

• Context: A selfie under review specifically focuses on verifying the authenticity of your profile photos.
• Purpose: This ensures that the photos uploaded are genuinely yours and not images of someone else, maintaining the platform's integrity and trustworthiness.
• Impact: While the review is in progress, your ability to interact on the platform may be temporarily limited, but your account remains active.
