Profile Verification Service
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving, at a processor executing a profile verification service, a request to verify a user profile associated with a user of a social networking application;
identifying, by the processor, a computing device associated with the user profile;
obtaining, by the processor, location data that relates to the user profile and the computing device;
identifying, by the processor, an activity associated with the computing device based upon the location data;
determining, by the processor, if the user profile is accurate based upon the activity identified;
if a determination is made that the user profile is accurate, verifying, by the processor, the user profile; and
if a determination is made that the user profile is not accurate, updating, by the processor, the user profile.

Abstract
Concepts and technologies are disclosed herein for providing and/or interacting with a profile verification service. A processor executing a profile verification service can receive a request to verify a user profile associated with a user of a social networking application. The processor can identify a computing device associated with the user profile, obtain location data that relates to the user profile and the computing device, and identify an activity associated with the computing device based upon the location data. The processor can determine if the user profile is accurate based upon the activity identified. If a determination is made that the user profile is accurate, the processor can verify the user profile. If a determination is made that the user profile is not accurate, the processor can update the user profile.
