How does the app decide who appears in my daily picks?
Your daily picks are based on your preferences, activity, and the interests you share with other members. SwipeSingles looks at your profile details, what you’ve liked before, and what similar users match with. This helps highlight people who may fit your dating style and relationship goals.
Why do some profiles show “boosted” or “spotlight” status?
Some members choose to boost their profile to increase visibility. When a profile is boosted or in spotlight mode, it temporarily appears in front of more users. It doesn’t affect your own preferences— it simply increases their reach so you don’t miss potential matches.
How does distance affect who I see while swiping?
Your distance setting determines how far the app searches for matches. If you set a 10-mile radius, you'll mostly see people within that area. Expanding your distance gives you access to more profiles and a wider pool of potential matches.
What happens when I change my preferences?
Any time you update your age range, distance, or lifestyle filters, your recommendations shift immediately. The more accurate your preferences are, the more personalized your daily suggestions become.
Is there a limit to how many people I can like in a day?
Yes. To keep the experience meaningful and reduce spam-like activity, SwipeSingles places a daily limit on likes for certain account types. This encourages more thoughtful swiping and helps the algorithm understand what truly interests you.
How does the compatibility score work on SwipeSingles?
The compatibility score is based on shared interests, communication styles, lifestyle tags, and your previous swipe patterns. It gives you a quick read on how well you might connect with someone before starting a conversation.
Why does the app ask me questions about hobbies or lifestyle?
Your hobbies, routines, and lifestyle choices help the app understand your personality. These details play a big role in finding matches who enjoy similar things, making conversations feel more natural right from the start.
How often does the algorithm refresh my suggestions?
Your suggestions refresh throughout the day as new people join, update their profiles, or come online. The app also refreshes your list whenever you change your preferences or interact with new profiles.
Can I influence the algorithm by adjusting my activity?
Yes. Your activity—likes, skips, messages, and profile updates—helps guide the algorithm. The more you interact, the better the system learns your preferences, leading to more accurate match suggestions over time.
Why do I sometimes see people who aren’t active recently?
You may occasionally see profiles that haven’t been active in a while if they still match your preferences. Some users return after breaks, and the app keeps them in rotation so you don’t miss a potential match who may come back online soon.
