If you are new to the app, give it time. Building up connections can sometimes take a while, as our algorithm is always learning about you and your preferences.
Based on our research, we've compiled some tips that might help with better-quality Matches:
Update Your Photos
| Photos that tend to get MORE Likes | Photos that tend to get FEWER Likes |
| Show your interests | Selfies (especially bathroom/mirror selfies) |
| Candid photos | Posed photos |
| Black and White photos | Photos with filters |
| Sports photos | Beach photos |
| Smiles | Sunglasses |
| Photos with friends, pets | Photos with a potential significant other |
Update Your Prompts
Fun prompt responses that say something about you are more likely to get engagement from like-minded daters.
Send Quality Likes Over Quantity
Our algorithm learns from your activity in the app. We suggest Liking profiles that you feel would be a good Match for you, rather than Liking a greater quantity of profiles.
Widen Your Preferences
Consider a flexible approach to your filters. You can select “Show profiles outside of this preference,” under a preference to occasionally see profiles outside of your chosen preference.
This gives you an option to see more profiles, and more people will see you too.
You can find more about how to adjust your preferences Here.
Be Seen by More People
Boosts can be purchased to show your profile to more people for 1 hour. A Superboost will run for 24 hours.
HingeX subscribers have the exclusive option to Get seen by more daters, which shows their profile at the top of other daters' Discover feeds.
