Bumble Beeline, How to use it right (2024)

Unlike your usual swipe queue, Bumble beeline a match queue filled exclusively with people who have already liked your profile. This takes the guesswork out of the swiping process, as you can jump directly to your potential matches.

Just imagine — a whole list populated with only your Bumble admirers! It's basically a dream come true for anyone who hates the moment of anticipation after swiping, wondering if they'll be greeted with a match notification or silence from the app.

The Bumble beeline feature guarantees that anyone liked from that match queue is going to be an instant match. So all you need to worry about at that point is sending and receiving messages!

Bumble beeline is one of the premium features available if you sign up for a Bumble premium account. Unlike Bumble boost (with fewer features) Bumble premium comes with a whole host of benefits. This can be a little confusing, as Bumble is often adding new features, and the premium tiers can change too.

In addition to beeline, you'll get the benefit of other premium features as well, including backtrack, travel mode, extended time on matches, and more. Put together, these other features — along with beeline — might make a premium account worth the price if you're serious about meeting people using the Bumble dating app.

Similar to a Tinder gold subscription, Bumble premium gives you advantages in many areas of the app, and can seriously reduce the stress of missing potential matches because you don't know who's interested, or because someone didn't send (or respond to) a message quickly enough.

Overall, beeline and the other features that come with it can really upgrade the time you spend looking at your Bumble screen.

Once you've signed up for Bumble premium and gained access to Bumble beeline, you use it in a very similar way to your usual swiping feed. Just tap on the green circle that brings you into your beeline queue — you'll find it in the upper right corner of your screen.

Basically, the only real difference is that the profile being offered to you are all people who have already liked your profile. But in terms of looking through the accounts, you still get to decide if you want to swipe right or left on each one.

You may find that you look at the Bumble beeline profiles with a different eye. Knowing that someone is interested in you can make some of your personal preferences (height, hair color, etc.) seem less important. After all, knowing that someone is interested is usually pretty flattering! This can make beeline an especially useful feature for people who are feeling burned out on the apps.

Rather than the usually stressful swiping experience, you can swipe with confidence that anyone you like will instantly become a new match — you don't need to wait to find out!

According to Bumble, beeline is a great way to approach a match with the added confidence of knowing that they already liked your profile. Everyone knows that confidence is sexy, so the benefit of that added confidence boost can't be overstated.

Using Bumble beeline is also a huge time saver. Because everyone in your Bumble beeline queue has already liked your profile, anyone you swipe right on will be an instant match! It also saves you the time of looking through too many profiles of people who have swiped left.

Depending on the genders of the people matching, you may be the first to message, or you might be responding to someone else's message. Either way, you'll slide into that experience in the improved mindset generated by an easier matching experience.

Anytime you mix dating and money, it's worth being cautious. And one of the most annoying things about meeting people online is having to deal with fake accounts or bots. But good news — Bumble is pretty good at weeding these problems off of their platform, and you can rest assured that the users being offered to you in Bumble beeline are real profiles. Bumble bot detection is A+.

One blog post does claim that Bumble implies you have more people waiting in your beeline than you really do, as a way to sell you on the feature. But reports of that aren't necessarily backed up. So, take those accusations with a grain of salt.

If you do feel like something isn't working the way it should, or that something is misrepresented, don't hesitate to contact Bumble support. In general they're very responsive and can solve most problems quickly.

If you want the benefits of beeline but don't want to pay the price, you may be wondering if you can use the blur hack that was popularized for Tinder. But we're sorry to report, there's no way to get these benefits for free. The Bumble developers know what they're doing and there's no way to find out which users like you without springing for the premium account.

So does the Bumble beeline blur hack work? No. You'll just have to pay for the features rather than trying to find a shortcut. (But we don't blame you for hoping there was a beeline blur hack.)
