Summarize this content to 100 words Social network X (formerly Twitter) is working on a feature to identify users using ID photos and selfies, reported application researcher Nima Ouji.He drew attention to the ID verified icon on the profile of the head of the company, Elon Musk, in early August. However, Ouji has now discovered a corresponding in-app message detailing how the feature works, likely indicating an imminent launch.The clause states that a state ID card must be provided to confirm the account. The check will take about five minutes. To do this, users need to send X a photo of the document and take a selfie.Ouji notes that feature X is working with identity analytics company Au10tix. Only X and Au10tix will see the verification information. The social network will store this data for up to 30 days and use it for security purposes so that no one can impersonate the account owner.Au10tix says it has previously worked with Google, PayPal and Uber. The company’s website states that Au10tix uses “first-of-its-kind technology to detect synthetic fraud patterns.” X currently offers verified status to all users who pay for the X Premium subscription, formerly known as Twitter Blue.
