Bumble Superswipe: How to Use It in 2023

Piggybacking on the success of the Tinder superlike, Bumble SuperSwipes are a way to show a potential match that you're interested in them before they've decided which way to swipe on you. Bumble and Tinder's version are quite different nowadays!

With those superSwipes, you are quite sure that the user will see your profile. Which is not true with a regular swipe, as you may end up far away in the deck of profiles, so far that the user will never actually see you! Sad.

If you want to increase your visibility, dont hesitate to get a good feedback on your dating profile using ROAST. The photo tips are always useful!

Let's now see how they work!

Bumble Super Swipe is an added feature you can pay for on Bumble to help you stand out and get matches.

While a Tinder superlike shows up as a blue glow around a profile image, a Bumble SuperSwipe shows up as a yellow notification bar. During a swiping session, these notifications will show up as soon as a profile appears.

On the flip side, if you want to SuperSwipe a profile, simply tap the yellow SuperSwipe badge instead of a usual swipe right, and the user will see that you've SuperSwiped them.

Bumble backtrack is a Bumble Boost and Bumble Premium feature that lets you go back to look at a profile you swiped left to pass on.

If you've used any dating app at all, you understand the basic framework. Through swiping on profiles users indicate which profiles they "like" and when the feeling is mutual, there's a match.

In this system, swiping right means you like the person, and swiping to the left side means you're not interested.

Bumble works the same way as other dating apps. As users swipe, they collect matches whenever two users like each other.

Usually, there's no way to know which users have been swiping right on your profile until you've matched with them. But with Super Swipes, you have a way to show you're interested before the other user has made a decision about you.

If a "like" is the digital equivalent of sending an anonymous note, a SuperSwipe is the digital equivalent of walking up to someone in a bar and offering to buy them a drink.

You also get usually to skip the line! Super powerful. Exactly as you would, if you go to that girl in the bar, and talk to her, as she was just swiping on Tinder.

She gives you her full attention, for a short or long while. But at least, you are sure that she saw you!

Depending on your outlook towards online dating, you may or may not find premium features useful. If you're swiping just to pass the time you might not want to invest any money in your swiping habit.

But if you're looking for results — meaning matches and dates — you may find that the advantage of a premium feature makes a big difference.

Just like Tinder's super likes lead to a star icon that wins your profile a second look, a Super Swipe leads to a heart icon on your profile photo that might give you the extra few seconds of attention that will make all the difference.

Like every part of online dating, the cost of SuperSwipes is a numbers game. The more you buy, the less expensive they are. For regular users, it costs 3.99 for 2 SuperSwipes. But SuperSwipe costs go down if you buy them in bundles, reaching as low as .90 cents each if you buy 30 at a time.

Rather than using regular currency, Bumble manages these transactions with their own in-app currency, Bumble coins. Measured in this currency each SuperSwipe costs one coin.

The other way to get SuperSwipes is by signing up for Bumble Boost or Bumble Premium. Both of these subscription levels come with five SuperSwipes a week. Just keep in mind that the SuperSwipes don't keep piling up! Each week's batch of SuperSwipes also expires once a week, so unless you buy extra, you never end up with more than five SuperSwipes at a time.

Whether or not you decide to Super Swipe other profiles, it's worth trying to get your own profile super swiped. That means putting effort into creating a quality profile that will grab the attention of potential matches.

On Bumble, like on all dating apps, pictures matter. Consider hiring a professional photographer to make sure you have at least one photo you feel good about. But, more photos would be better.

No matter how good your photos are, you still need a well-written Bumble profile. These profiles are short but important. Make the most of your 300 character limit so that you'll stand out.
