We’ve learned from daters that someone's first profile photo is crucial to making a good first impression and matching with them. As a result, we’re introducing Top Photo to help you optimize your profile. If you turn on Top Photo, we will continuously test your profile picture and put the most popular one first.
How Does Top Photo Work?
Top Photo uses a machine learning model to predict which of your profile photos is most likely to get you a Like and puts that photo first on your profile to help improve your chances of making a match. When you use Top Photo, the public and Match list order of your photos and videos may differ from the order you see in the Edit and View Profile sections.
