▸ Technical Specifications & Verification FAQ↓

To verify whether a dating app or chat photo was genuinely taken where and when someone claims, LocatePic runs a three-part audit: 1) Container provenance to detect social media re-saves vs. original camera rolls, 2) Optical triangulation of background streetscapes, café menus, and electrical sockets, and 3) Meeus/NOAA solar shadow verification against the claimed date.

Why do photos saved from Tinder, Hinge, or WhatsApp have no EXIF GPS data?

Dating and messaging platforms strip EXIF metadata on upload. LocatePic uses a 400% optical forensic loupe and 5-node visual triangulation to verify the background streetscape, sockets, and sun angles even when EXIF is stripped.

How can I tell if someone sent an old recycled photo pretending it was taken right now?

Switch to our Solar Shadow Calculator or inspect the shadow elevation in the photo: if the message was sent at 18:30 local time but the photo shows a 58° high-noon solar shadow, the timestamp claim is false.

Is my verification check completely discreet?

Yes. Local EXIF and 400% loupe inspection happen 100% in your browser RAM with zero server upload, and AI credits use one-time packs that never auto-renew.
