1
Open your Bumble matches in Chrome on your computer. This trick will only work if you're using a computer to access Bumble.
- If Bumble figures out this workaround, they might make changes so it no longer works. Try it while you can!
This opens your Chrome developer console.^{[4]

It's at the top of the right panel. If you don't see it, click the two sideways arrows >> at the top to expand more options.

Refresh the page. You can do so by clicking the curved arrow at the top of Chrome or by right-clicking a blank area of the page and selecting Reload. Now you'll see several URLs in the right panel.
- If you don't see anything in the "Name" section, double-check to make sure there is nothing typed into the "Filter" field above it.
Scroll through the options under "Name" until you find /mwebapi.phtml?SERVER_GET_ENCOUNTERS. You may need to make the window larger to find it.^{[5]

This is parallel to the "Name" field in the right panel.
Copy the information in the Response box. To make sure you get everything in the box, click inside the box and press Control + A (PC) or Command + A (Mac) to highlight everything, and then press Control + C (PC) or Command + C (Mac) to copy.
A simple fast option is https://jsonviewer.stack.hu/.

Right-click the blank area in the JSON reader and select Paste. This pastes a big chunk of text with assorted URLs into the reader.
- If this doesn't work for you, you can also paste it by clicking in the typing area and pressing Control + V (PC) or Command + V (Mac).
This organizes that mess of data into something you can browse.
11
Navigate to the ClientEncounters/Results menu. Once you do this, you'll have a list of potential matches. Here's how:
- Expand the body menu.
- Expand the 0 menu.
- Expand the ClientEncounters menu.
- Expand the Results menu, where you'll find a set of folders numbered from 0 to 9.
To do this, just click the + next to each of the numbers. Under each number, you'll see another folder called user. The information you're looking for is in the user folder. Each of these numbered folders represents the first 10 people in your queue.
As you can see, the name and age will match up with the person that's active in your match list.
14
Look at the value of "has_user_voted" above the user folder. The value will either be true or false.^{[6]

- If the value is true, the user probably liked you—to confirm, look for match_message in their user menu. If you see "They like you too! Now X has 24 hours to message you, the person definitely liked you.
- If the value is false, the either didn't swipe right. This could mean they haven't seen you yet, but it also could mean they swiped left.
- You can now repeat this process for the next 10 people in your queue.
