Photo Suggestions is an AI-powered tool designed to help Hinge users take the guesswork out of choosing profile pictures on Hinge. Our technology suggests which photos may be most effective at making a good first impression.
How does Photo Suggestions work?
First, you’ll provide a photo of yourself clearly showing your face. Photo Suggestions will then scan your camera roll to suggest potential photos based on factors like lighting, composition, and overall quality. It also filters out photos that might violate our Terms and Member Principles.
Second, you’ll review the suggested photos and select the ones you want to upload to your profile. If any of your chosen photos include other people, be sure to get their permission.
Note: These Suggested Photos are not automatically uploaded. Photos are only uploaded to Hinge with user confirmation.
To use Photo Suggestions, you’ll need to grant full or partial access to your photo library and camera. You can change or revoke these permissions anytime in your device settings.
How to use Photo Suggestions:
- When selecting a photo during onboarding, you’ll be prompted to Get Photo Suggestions. Selecting this option will engage Photo Suggestions!
- First, select and upload a photo that clearly shows your face.
-
Allow Hinge to review your photos by selecting specific images or granting access to all photos. If your chosen photo includes others, make sure you have their permission.
- Wait while Photo Suggestions analyzes your photos. You'll see a loading screen during this process.
-
Photo picks from Hinge will be returned for your review, along with secondary suggestions.
- Once you choose a photo from our suggestions, you can edit it and then select more photos. Again, no photos will be uploaded without your confirmation.
What happens if Photo Suggestions does not find photos for me?
If we do not find photos that meet the criteria to suggest for your profile, please review our What Works for Photos guide to learn more about what makes a great photo.
How does Photo Suggestions use my data?
The Photo Suggestions process takes place entirely on your device, and everything is under your control.
From identifying photos of you in your camera roll to presenting a diverse set of photos to consider uploading, all processing happens and stays on your device.
Hinge does not collect, store, access, or otherwise receive your facial geometry data, nor do we collect any photos from your camera roll, other than the ones you ultimately choose to upload to your profile.
By prioritizing privacy, security, and ease of use, we’re able to safeguard user information while offering new tools on your dating journey.
Note for iOS users: Photo Suggestions will not review photos on iCloud. For those photos to be reviewed, they must be downloaded manually to your device.
