Some features of the app are only available to Hinge+ and HingeX subscribers.
How can I Sort my Incoming Likes as a Subscriber?
Everyone can see their incoming likes in the Recent feed, but subscribers get extra sorting options to help find the best connections:
- Your Type – See likes from daters we think you’ll connect with based on mutual Dealbreakers and recent activity.
- Last Active – See likes from daters who have used Hinge in the last 24 hours (available if you’ve opted into Last Active).
- Nearby – See likes from daters who have set a profile location close to yours.
What are Enhanced Recommendations? (HingeX-exclusive)
Enhanced recommendations prioritize people in your Discover feed who are more your type based on who you’ve recently liked or skipped. And, unlike Standouts, you don’t need to send a Rose!
With HingeX, your outgoing likes also get priority status, keeping them higher in daters' lists. You don’t need to do anything—this feature is always on with your subscription.
What are Priority Likes? How do Priority Likes work? (HingeX-exclusive)
Priority Likes means that your Likes stay toward the top of dater’s list for 7 days.
This feature activates with your HingeX subscription. After 7 days, the Priority Like is treated like a regular Like. There’s no visible difference—only you know when you send a Priority Like!
What does ‘toward the top of the list’ mean, exactly?
On the ‘Likes You’ tab, when sorted by ‘Recent,’ we order incoming likes by
- Roses
- Most recent like (whether Priority or regular)
- Priority likes
- Likes
How is this different from Roses?
Roses will appear with a ‘Rose’ icon and are positioned above Priority likes.
What if I’m not getting any matches?
New people join Hinge every day! Keep engaging by sending likes, updating your profile, and adding fresh prompts and photos. You never know who you’ll meet next–stay open and keep exploring.
What is Skip the Line? How does it work? (HingeX-exclusive)
Skip the line Boosts your profile in Discover, keeping you more visible while your subscription is active. Think of it as a light but always-on version of Boost. It turns on when you subscribe to HingeX. It won’t override other daters' preferences—it simply helps you get noticed sooner.
How is this different from Boosts?
Skip the line works throughout your subscription and promotes your profile in Discover. Boosts only last one hour (or 24 hours for Superboosts), so your profile may be ranked even higher.
What if I’m not getting any likes?
If you're not seeing as many likes as you'd hoped:
- Check your Dealbreakers – Loosening them slightly might bring in more potential matches.
- Update your profile – A new photo or prompt answer can help you stand out!
Stay active – Sending likes increases your chances of getting noticed.
