Having no luck on Tinder? Get a ROBOT to choose your photos: Dating app launches AI tool that selects users’ best-looking snaps for their profiles

It’s something that many singletons obsess over for hours.

But the days of deliberating whether or not to include your friends, dogs, or selfies in your dating app profile could soon be a thing of the past, thanks to Tinder.

The dating app has released a new tool called ‘Photo Selector’, which uses AI to choose the best photos for your dating profile.

‘By alleviating the burden of photo selection, Photo Selector empowers users to focus more on making meaningful connections rather than spending excessive time on photo selection,’ Tinder explained.

‘This AI innovation promises to inject more spontaneity into the online dating experience.’

Tinder users can select up to nine photos for their profile, but choosing what to include can be stressful business.

A survey by the dating app found that 52 per cent of users say it’s hard to select a profile image.

To help users out, Tinder has launched Photo Selector, which it describes as a ‘digital companion’.

‘We’re proud to be the first dating app to roll out an AI tool that can make the profile-building experience significantly easier – an area we know is one of the hardest parts of dating,’ said Faye Iosotaluno, CEO of Tinder.

To use the tool, open the Tinder app and select ‘Add media’ on your profile.

First, you’ll be prompted to upload a photo of yourself, or take a selfie.

Based on this image, Tinder will use AI to scan through your camera roll, looking for what it considers your best photos.

After a few seconds, you’ll be shown Tinder’s selections for review. If you like its choices, you can select up to seven to add to your profile.

‘Tinder doesn’t collect or store photos from your device except the ones you choose to post,’ the dating app reassures.

If the idea of using a robot to select your Tinder photos doesn’t appeal, thankfully Tinder has several other suggestions for your profile pictures: 

1. Find Your Light

Tinder recommends choosing well-lit photos for your profile. 

‘On a sunny day, seek out a nice shaded spot and snap a few variations,’ it advised. ‘It’s always good to have a few options to choose from.’

2. Avoid Confusion

Ditch the group photos in favour of solo snaps, Tinder advises. 

‘People are here to meet you, not your entire friend group. One group photo is fine, but keep the rest solo,’ it said.

3. Clean That Lens

‘Give your camera lens a quick wipe with a microfiber cloth before snapping away,’ Tinder said. ‘Crisp and clear photos = instant upgrade.’

4. Have Fun

Show potential dates your fun side with a variety of photos. 

‘A stunning headshot, an action shot (you doing something you love), a social shot, and a candid shot,’ Tinder suggests. 

‘Inspire people to want to know more about the amazing you!’

5. Mix It Up

Ditch old photos for more current snaps. 

‘If your profile pics are older than your favourite brunch spot, it’s time for a refresh,’ Tinder added. 

‘Keep things current by adding at least one or two new photos. Fresh pics show you’re active and keep your profile feeling new and exciting.’

Photo Selector will be rolling out to UK users in the later Summer months.
