Have you ever been catfished? According to dating app JigTalk, 79 per cent of people using dating apps say they have been catfished 😳

18 Apr 2019It's for this exact reason that JigTalk, which prides itself on being the non-superficial dating app, has banned Instagram and Snapchat filters. Any user uploading profile pictures which have been digitally altered, will have the photo rejected.

Alex Durrant, JigTalk's CEO hopes the ban will improve the authenticity and legitimacy of dating apps. It's just as well; according to the same survey, 61% of people have deleted dating apps due to the photos not accurately representing the users. “These numbers show that catfishing is really out of control. Only a handful of dating apps are dedicating time and resource to ensuring their users are not catfished and this needs to change,” says Alex.
