The World ID app is a game-changer for anyone who's ever wondered how to trust online profiles. It verifies users' humanity using orbs that take pictures of their faces and eyes, encrypting and storing them on the user's phone. This means you can finally trust those Tinder matches (or not). The service is initially available in select markets, including Japan and the United States. Zoom and Docusign are also integrating World ID's 'proof of human' verification service.
