2. Check your device setup: Make sure you don’t have a VPN enabled and that you’re not using dual SIMs while verifying. These can sometimes interfere with the process.
3. Check your verification method: Confirm that you’re World ID verified using World ID Credentials with an NFC-enabled My Number Card.
4. Refresh your Tinder account: If you’ve just completed verification, try refreshing your Tinder app or account page. It may take a few minutes for your verification status to update.
