## What is DateVet?

DateVet is a photo-verification tool for dating profiles. Met a match who seems a little too perfect? Upload their photo (a screenshot, a picture they sent you, or anyone you want to look into) and DateVet runs it through a stack of checks. A few seconds later you get a clear verdict, a confidence score, and the evidence to back it up.

WHAT DATEVET CHECKS

Reverse image search: finds the other places a photo has surfaced online, from stolen-photo catalogs to celebrity news to other social profiles.
AI and image-manipulation detection: flags photos that were generated or altered by AI.
Public figure matching: tells you when a profile is borrowing photos of a celebrity or other public figure.
Metadata inspection: reads the photo's EXIF data for signs of AI origin or commercial reuse.

PRIVACY FIRST

Your photos are deleted from our storage the moment a scan finishes, usually within seconds.
DateVet does not run facial recognition and does not build or store biometric templates.
Only the text results (verdict, confidence, matching links) stay in your private account, so you can look back through your scan history. Close your account and it all goes with it.
The full Privacy Policy is available in the app.

HONEST ABOUT LIMITS

No catfish-detection tool catches everything. DateVet can miss photos that haven't been indexed on the public web yet, and it can flag real public figures who happen to date online. Treat every verdict as a probability, not a final answer. When it really matters, confirm it yourself. A video call, or a fresh photo of the person in a pose you pick, is still the best way to know who you're talking to.

SUBSCRIPTIONS AND CREDITS

New users get free photo checks to try the service. After that, you can buy more scans as one-time credit packs, or sign up for a monthly plan. Monthly subscriptions renew at the price shown in the app unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID account settings.

NOT AVAILABLE EVERYWHERE

DateVet is not currently offered in Illinois, Quebec, the EU, Switzerland, Brazil, Vietnam, South Korea, or China, because of local biometric privacy and data protection laws. Users in Illinois, Texas, and Washington need the subject's consent before scanning someone else's photo.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.15 — 2026-06-27

• Share-to-scan: spotted a sketchy profile pic? Share it to DateVet from any app and we'll vet it on the spot.
• Live scan progress: a new progress bar tracks your scan from upload to verdict.
• A sharper look: redesigned navigation, a clearer Safety Insights breakdown, and cleaner type throughout.

### 1.0.6 — 2026-05-25

What's new in 1.0.6:

• Refer a friend, get free scans. Invite a friend who's dating and you both get 5 free scans the moment they sign up. Run their first scan to earn 5 more for yourself. Catch more fakes, climb the ranks (Licensed Investigator → Senior Investigator → Special Agent → Bureau Chief), and pick up bonus credits at every milestone.

• Faster verdicts. Cut roughly half the wait time on the photo manipulation analysis.

• Fewer silent fails. The subscribe button now shows a clear error when a purchase can't complete, instead of just doing nothing.

• Cleaner branding throughout the app.

### 1.0.5 — 2026-05-12

What's new in 1.0.5:

• Faster scans. Restored a parallel-scan optimization and switched the Photo Manipulation Analysis to a faster model, shaving several seconds off every scan.
• Cleaner verdict layout. Concerns and Supporting signals now sit together at the top of Expert Analysis, with the deep manipulation analysis closing each scan.
• Tightened writing across the app, including onboarding, scan results, and alerts, so it reads more naturally.
• Now available in Canada (excluding Quebec) and the United Kingdom.

Thanks for using DateVet.

### 1.0.3 — 2026-05-05

What's new in 1.0.3:

• Your screen now stays awake during scans — no more interruptions from Auto-Lock mid-analysis.
• Cleaner Verdict Card layout: Expert Analysis pairs tightly with Field Observation, and Always Verify closes each scan as a final reminder.
• Welcome tutorial now scrolls within each page on smaller iPhones, so nothing gets cut off.

Thanks for using DateVet — keep the feedback coming.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-05-04

DateVet 1.0.2 — Sharper verdicts, smarter detection.

NEW: Verdict spectrum bar — see at a glance where each scan lands
on a LIKELY FAKE / UNCERTAIN / LIKELY REAL scale, with a
confidence tier (Strong / Moderate / Limited evidence).

NEW: "Always Verify" reminder on every result, with concrete
next steps — video call, freshly-taken photo, gut check.

NEW: Earn 1 free credit refunded after 3 low-confidence scans.

IMPROVED: AI detection refined — fewer false positives on real
photos.

IMPROVED: Clearer error messages, more crash-resistant.
