Getting SuperSwipes

Bumble SuperSwipes are a great way to show someone that you're interested before they swipe. Although you have to pay to SuperSwipe someone's profile (unless you have Bumble Premium or Boost), you can always find out who SuperSwiped your profile for free, just like Super Likes on Tinder! This wikiHow guide will show you how to find out who SuperSwiped you on Bumble and what to do if you can't see who SuperSwiped you, with expert advice from matchmaker and dating coach Lauren Sanders.

Bumble SuperSwipe Overview

Bumble SuperSwipe is a feature that lets you show potential matches you're especially interested in them. You can see who SuperSwiped you by checking your Bumble notifications or swiping through your matches; if you have Bumble Premium, you can also check your Beeline.

You can tap the notification to head over to your match queue or simply launch the Bumble app (or Bumble on the web) at any time.^{[1]

Swipe through your matches to see SuperSwipes. According to Bumble users on Reddit who've tested the SuperSwipe feature, the person who SuperSwiped you probably won't be the first person in your match queue, but they'll be near the top of the stack. When you reach the person who SuperSwiped you, you'll see a yellow icon with two stars and "SuperSwiped You!" on their profile.
- You'll still see SuperSwipes even if you swiped left on a person. If a person you swiped left on SuperSwipes you, Bumble will give you a second chance to check out their profile and see if it's worthy of a right swipe!

With Bumble Premium, you have the advantage of the Beeline, which tells you who already liked you before you swipe on them.^{[2]

What is a SuperSwipe on Bumble?

Download Article

SuperSwipe is a feature designed to show matches you really like them. Because it’s a premium feature, SuperSwipes must be purchased individually or used with a paid subscription. However, that makes a SuperSwipe compelling: it shows you’re so confident and interested in someone that you’ve made an effort to get your “like” to stand out from the others. To use a SuperSwipe:^{[3]
X
Research source}
- Open up your Swipe queue on Bumble. When you find someone you want to SuperSwipe, tap the star icon on their profile.
- Once you activate the SuperSwipe, the potential match will get a notification about it (and can then respond, if they want to).

Why can’t I see who SuperSwiped me?

Even though someone SuperSwiped you, they won't necessarily be the first person in your match queue. Keep swiping through the stack until you see a yellow star icon and "SuperSwiped You!" on their profile.

They don't meet your filter requirements. If you received a notification that someone SuperSwiped you but still haven't found their profile in your stack, your filters may be too restrictive. Try expanding your distance, age, height, or other filters, even if only temporarily, to find your SuperSwiper.^{[5]

Research source}
- If you expand your filter preferences sometime in the future to include someone who once SuperSwiped you a while ago, they'll eventually show up in your match queue no matter how long ago they SuperSwiped.
If the person who SuperSwiped you deactivates their profile before you get a chance to see it, they'll never appear in your match stack unless they reactivate in the future.

Can I see the people I SuperSwiped?

It's just like swiping right on someone's profile—once you SuperSwipe someone, you'll move on to the next person in your match queue. However, if the person you SuperSwiped swipes right on your profile, you'll have a match, which means you'll be able to see their profile again.

Section 6 of 7:

Can I undo a SuperSwipe if I swiped accidentally?

Download Article

There's no way to undo a SuperSwipe or accidental right swipe. Unfortunately, it's very easy to accidentally SuperSwipe someone, as the SuperSwipe yellow star icon is prominent at the bottom-right corner of each profile. If you've accidentally SuperSwiped someone and they match you, the best thing you can do is (kindly) let the person know that it was an accident.
- Bumble Premium and Bumble Boost's Backtrack feature, which allows you to undo accidental left swipes, don't work for accidental right swipes or SuperSwipes.^{[6]

How to Get More SuperSwipes from Matches

1
Upload fun and intriguing photos of yourself. You can upload up to 6 photos to your profile, so take advantage and use every slot. According to dating coach Lauren Sanders, the more photos, the better! It’s the best way to get a match on Bumble. Choose photos you feel good about, and ideally, some that feature you doing a cool activity or having fun (along with some selfies or portraits).^{[7]
X
Research source}
- Taking a photo of your left side may be surprisingly effective. When it comes to portraits, people tend to like the left side better.
- Try not to post photos with other people in them. Potential matches should be focused on you and you alone!
2
Write a catchy bio. Bumble bios can be 300 characters long, so make the most of that space. Sanders also recommends that your profile bio be as detailed as possible. Be genuine, focusing on who you are and your interests. If you can’t decide what to write, think about the type of person you want to attract and the values that matter most to you—and write your Bumble bio with those ideas in mind.
- For example, if you love to laugh and want to meet someone with a great sense of humor, include a witty joke in your bio.
- If you want to date someone as compassionate and altruistic as you, write a little about your past volunteer work.
3
Fill out some of Bumble’s profile prompts. Bumble offers prompts to help you add personality to your profile, and you can post up to 3. So, add thoughtful responses that reveal more about who you are and what you want out of a relationship. Sanders recommends being very thorough when explaining your relationship desires and goals to help you stand out and find the best match possible.
- Give potential matches a glimpse of your life; your prompt responses could even be conversation starters later on!^{[8]

  Research source}
Bumble allows you to add up to 10 Basic Info badges to your profile, including details like your location, height, political affiliations, what kind of relationship you want, your interests, and so on. Badges can help potential matches quickly see what they have in common with you (or what they don’t), so be sure to use them.

Tips

When someone SuperSwipes you, don’t hesitate to reach out with a message. Try looking over their profile and finding something to talk about there; according to Sanders, it’s one of the best things you can do when messaging a match. It lets them know you’re truly interested in getting to know them and will let them know you pay attention to details.

Consider using SuperSwipes yourself on people you especially like. At the same time, remember not to go overboard. You don’t need to SuperSwipe on every other person; to make them meaningful, save them for the few people who truly intrigue you!
