Dating Headshot FAQs
Should I use AI photos for dating apps?
Check the app's current rules first. Do not use a synthetic or enhanced image that materially changes your appearance. Keep recent candid photos in the profile and disclose AI use where the platform or context requires it.
What makes a good dating profile photo?
Use a clear, recent image where your face is easy to identify. Avoid using a group image as the main portrait, and make sure the photo remains representative of how you currently look.
