Gotta show you the real you.
We think it’s safe to say that everyone’s been subject to the flawless effect that comes with the swipe a filter on any given photo app. More people can even admit to uploading a few photos themselves with filters on top their images, be it a fun dog filter or a cute heart-eyed filter. Popular dating app, Plenty Of Fish, has announced a new regulation that will ban all users from uploading images that have a filter.
“When looking for a partner online, it’s important that users feel like they’re seeing their matches as the real them in their photos, and not the glossed over, puppy-faced version a filter would supply,” the site wrote in an ficial blog post. “Sure, these filters are fun, and they can even help you out when you’re not feeling like your freshest self – but do they belong on your dating prile?”

Plenty Of Fish did a poll on its users and found that 70% singles said that face filters make someone’s appearance come across as deceptive. Another 23% agreed that seeing a prile with a face filter gives f a vibe insecurity.
“Plenty Fish has taken action by implementing a face filter ban across the platform. As today, images on Plenty Fish that contain face filters will be moderated and removed. So it’s time to head over to your prile and make sure it’s ficially filter-free,” the company added.
