Tinder has made a change that should get you more matches

Paul Moore

Handy.

We know that you’re all beautiful people that are incapable of looking bad in any photo. See, even when it’s 2:37am and you’re horsing into a kebab, you still exude class, style and raw sex appeal.

There’s one problem that comes with looking incredibly ridey in every single picture that’s taken of you though because it’s impossible to know which image is best suited for your Tinder account.

When in doubt, use a snap like this one.

There’s some good news for Tinder users though because as of today, the dating app is implementing a brand new algorithm that enhances your match potential. What does this involve?

Well, Smart Photos alternates the photo first seen by others when you’re shown on Tinder, notes each response as others swipe on you, and reorders your photos to show your best ones first. Essentially this means that the photos of you that people swipe right on the most, get seen the most.

In testing, users saw up to a 12% increase in matches.

Tinder’s Smart Photos continuously test your profile photos for their success, so that you’re always leading with the photos most likely to be swiped right.  Smart Photos take into account each individual’s swiping pattern when selecting which of your photos they’ll see first.

It’s a system that gets smarter with more input: the more you swipe and the more you’re swiped on, the better the algorithm serves you.

All you have to worry about now is chatting someone up and asking them out for a date, but we know that you’re all smooth as silk.
