January 18, 2026Beyond Swipes — The New Era of Verified Dating Apps –
For over a decade, online dating has revolved around one simple motion: the swipe. Left, right, repeat. But in the process, the focus shifted from meaningful connection to endless scrolling, and safety often took a backseat.
Dating Square by 65square represents a turning point, a new era of verified dating, where real identity and accountability replace anonymity and risk.
Unlike traditional apps that only require an email or phone number, Dating Square’s signup process is rooted in identity verification. Every user must scan a valid passport and pass a facial recognition check. This system eliminates fake accounts, reduces scams, and promotes accountability from the moment a user joins.
But what truly sets Dating Square apart is its community-driven safety model. Every member agrees to uphold a shared standard: honesty, respect, and authenticity. It’s not just about filtering out bad actors, it’s about building a culture where good actors thrive.
Instead of swiping through hundreds of profiles, users connect with verified, real people who are also looking for genuine interaction. And because every profile is confirmed through biometrics, users can engage confidently, knowing that who they see is who they’re speaking to.
This is more than a dating app. It’s a movement toward digital integrity. One that mirrors the mission of Defend: to reduce risk for children and other vulnerable people online.
