The profile picture displayed with a yellow circle around it is those who you have swiped right while the green circle shows you the number of people who have swiped right on you. And, it slowly starts to fade clockwise, working as a countdown of the 24 hours.

How can Bumble tell which picture is most popular? ›

The Best Photo feature uses technology to ascertain which of your first three Bumble profile photos gets the most right swipes—or likes—and then puts that pic at the top of your profile. This, along with completing your profile, can improve your chances of making matches and finding your next connection.

Bumble offers three modes - Date, BFF, and Bizz. Date is to find your romantic connection, BFF is to find your new besties, and Bizz is to network professionally. You can choose to use one, two, or all of the modes at once and you can easily switch between each mode whenever you want.

What is the SuperSwipe symbol on Bumble? ›

Bumble users will have nine common emojis to choose from when reacting to someone's profile, including “Smiling Face with Heart-Eyes,” “See-No-Evil Monkey,” “Face with Open Mouth,” “Grinning Face with Sweat,” “Face With Tears of Joy,” “Clapping Hands,” “Smiling Face With Sunglasses,” “Raising Hands” and “Hundred Points ...

If someone likes you, their profile will appear near the top of your list. While you won't know that they've already liked you (unless they've SuperSwiped you or you're a Premium user who can see the Beeline), users who've already shown interest will always appear near the front of your match stack.

Because your profile only appears to people you've already swiped right on, you have more control over who can see your photos and personal information and how many people see it. And, when you do get a match, you'll know it's someone you've already shown interest in.

We use an automated process and human moderators to identify that you are a real person and old enough to use Bumble. The selfie photo submitted to verify your profile is stored in our system along with any other photos you've uploaded onto the app.

If you've been notified of a Super Like, open Tinder and start swiping to find out who's Super Liked you. Their profile may not be the first in your card stack, but will appear eventually with a bright blue star icon. Like their profile for an immediate match!

When you reach the person who SuperSwiped you, you'll see a yellow icon with two stars, along with "SuperSwiped You!" on their profile. You'll still see SuperSwipes even if you swiped left on a person.

Receiving a notification that someone has liked your profile means you're on the path to making meaningful connections! This notification is sent when someone has swiped right on your profile but doesn't mean you have a new match waiting. A match is created once both users have mutually swiped right on each other.
