Problem
Dating apps have become a "catfish contest" where users present heavily edited, filtered, or AI-generated photos that do not match their real appearance. This undermines trust in online dating and leads to disappointing in-person meetings where people do not look like their profiles.
Solution
Ghosted is a dating app built entirely around photo authenticity, removing filtered, retouched, and AI-generated images from the platform. The app screens all uploaded photos with automated tools and human review, and rejects, blurs, or removes any image that violates its no-filter rule. Profiles display only recent, unaltered photos of the user, so matches see the same person in person as online. The app also offers optional on-device tools that can scan a user's photo library to suggest unedited pictures, without uploading the library itself. With over 250,000 verified profiles and a 4.7 App Store rating, Ghosted differentiates itself by making authentic representation its core value proposition.
Target Audience
Primary users are singles aged 18 and older who are frustrated with heavily edited or misleading photos on mainstream dating apps and seek authentic, in-person matches.
