Tips and tricks to keep the spark burning

Tinder is a great way to meet people whether you’re new to a city, seeking casual connections, or even something more serious. Whatever you’re looking for, you can make your matches matter when you keep these tips and tricks in mind.

Start off strong with your most eye-catching photos, tried and tested by Tinder’s algorithm. Just tap your profile tab in the navigation bar and then the edit icon on your profile picture. Toggle “Smart Photos” to continuously test all your profile photos and find the image that gets the best results, showing your top pics first and helping your odds to gain more matches.

Test your chemistry before you even match by customizing your profile to share as much (or as little) of yourself as you want to. Tap your profile tab in the navigation bar and then the edit icon in the corner of your profile photo. Scroll down to edit your bio and other details, like your zodiac sign, your lifestyle tags, and more.

You could also indicate whatever gender you identify with and your sexual orientation to help you find matches that like you for you.
Connect your Instagram account to display your most recent photos on your profile or your Spotify account to show off your current anthem. Letting users get to know you a little better gives them more details to work with when coming up with conversation starters.

Make the most of your swipes by looking into Tinder’s Top Picks for you. Simply tap the diamond icon, and then Top Picks. The Recently Active section shows you users that have used Tinder recently, giving you a higher chance of matching with users that are active on the app. Common Passions displays users that share your interests, helping you more easily find something to talk about.

Whether you’re new to the app or a seasoned swiper, you can build better connections when you keep these tips in your toolkit. Just remember to be you and put your best foot forward – your next match could be just another swipe away.
