It's interesting to see the numbers behind the POF.

Let's examine some data about the POF app and its safety functions.

It has been reported that various additional safety features will be introduced to it in 2020. User photos will be used for verification, there will be a panic button, and offensive communications can be reported.

You may verify a person's identity with POF's live streaming video feature, which allows you to live stream video with any other user.

When using the POF app, you can't hide your face or use any other kind of filter. Which means users can't share photographs that have obviously been edited elsewhere online (goodbye dog year filter).

Although there is no way to know for sure that everything will turn out okay when using an online dating service, the folks over at Plenty of Fish are making great strides to make sure their members not only have fun and engage in meaningful discussion with real people, but are also safe. They can check one other out physically and talk using the app before exchanging numbers or meeting in person. Which can lead to dating being somewhat less dangerous.

Is it safe to try out internet dating?

Sixty percent of women who have used internet dating say that despite their disinterest or growing disenchantment with the person, they continue to receive unwanted messages and calls from them. Concerns about online dating are understandable when you consider that 1 in 10 profiles is a scammer, the remainder can't be guaranteed to be good either, and 53% of online data often exaggerates or lies on their profile. Unfortunately, this is a widespread issue.

However, you shouldn't let the numbers fool you. Several of the most popular dating applications have already begun to address some of these issues with updates to their core features. Even after receiving these reports, the websites continued to function normally. As an example, Tinder has implemented all of the aforementioned safety measures, such as a panic button in the event of an emergency, so that its users may focus on finding love without any hassle.

Many dating apps now use Noonlight, a new platform for online dating, to protect their users from potential danger. If you and someone you met online are going to meet in person, you can use the app's Noonlight feature to notify each other of the time and location of the meeting and to send help if necessary.

In these regards, meeting someone you met online for the purpose of dating is not dissimilar from meeting someone you met online to sell a couch or even a car. However, this does not make the endeavor risk-free. There are still dangers to be concerned with.

Guide to Safer Online Dating

In the year 2020, online dating was considered to be relatively risk-free. However, if you want to be extra safe (we think your mom would love it if you were, and so would we), consider the following:

Keep your identity secret until you've met face-to-face with someone you trust. Before going on a date, it's tempting to want to check out the other person's social media accounts. If you can verify the other person's identity using the app, though, you should.

In order to reach oneself after you've exited the app, it's recommended that you use a separate, secure messaging service. In order to have in-depth chats with someone without giving away your genuine identity, you can use a service like Zoom by using an email address that is not your regular email or you can use a program like Frankly to have conversations with that person.

Only give out a false phone number, never your real one. It's best to take things carefully, as rushing raises Ricks, even if you want to date someone for a while.

That last bit is crucial. Even though it may not seem like it, someone may learn a great deal about you just by calling your phone number. Having doubts? Find out what information about your phone number appears when you search Google.

It's recommended that you switch to the fake number instead. If things are going steadily south, burning the number and moving on will be OK, and you'll be able to preserve your privacy and ensure that no one else can access your personal information.
