PRO TIP

Boost your Bumble profile

Make new connections

Ready to swipe right on love? Your profile is your digital first impression, and we’ve got data-backed pro tips on how to make it stand out, straight from the Bumble team. Dive into these, and watch your Bumble buzz soar.

Be clear with your intentions

Clarity is attractive. Are you in it for the long haul or just dipping your toes in the dating pool? Make it known with Bumble’s Lifestyle Badges, found under “More about me” on your profile.

Little titbits such as what you’re looking for from your dates, how often you exercise and so on can give potential matches a better idea of who you are before you even say “hello”. Bumble users who assign at least one Lifestyle Badge to their profile can increase their matches by 66 per cent.


Write an engaging and positive bio

Your bio is your chance to shine, and Profile Prompts such as “I get way too excited about…” and “I promise I won’t judge you with…” set the stage for convos to come. Keep it light, sprinkle in some humour and be unapologetically you.

Make your profile stand out with a Profile Prompt that best showcases your personality.

For instance, if you’re a foodie, mention the dish you could eat every day for the rest of your life. You’d be surprised how much more “All I want in life is an unlimited supply of warm, spicy pho” reveals compared to the simpler “I love Vietnamese food”.


Optimise your profile photos

This just in: profiles with three or more photos get more love! Choose recent, high-resolution snaps that show the real you. No filters, no fuss.

Solo shots work best so potential matches don’t need to pick your face out of a group. And that picture with your contagious smile? Show it off – happiness attracts. Remember, it’s not just a photo; it’s a snapshot of who you are.


Showcase your hobbies and interests

Are you a sunrise yoga enthusiast or a midnight gamer? Flaunt your hobbies and interests with pride. Those little Interest Badges aren’t just cute, they’re match magnets.

A shared love for sports or gaming can be a strong foundation for a conversation and potentially, a relationship. Don’t shy away from highlighting what makes you unique – it could be the key to finding a compatible partner.
