You might see the “You Matched!” screen after swiping right on someone. This means that you’ve matched with them - congrats! Don’t give up hope if you don’t immediately match with someone. This could just mean that the person hasn’t seen your profile yet (and therefore hasn’t had the opportunity to swipe right). They may appear in your match queue later. Simply tap on the speech bubble icon in the bottom right corner to see a list of all of your matches thus far.

Did you accidentally swipe left on someone that you wanted to match with? Don’t fret! The “Backtrack” feature allows you to undo a swipe simply by tapping on the arrow in the top left corner. This is only available with a Bumble Boost or Bumble Premium subscription, so you will have to upgrade to one of these paid versions if you want to use this feature.

This means that you’ll have to wait 24 hours until you can swipe through new profiles. However, you can upgrade to a Bumble Boost or Bumble Premium subscription to receive unlimited swipes!
Go to your swipe queue by tapping on the hive icon in the bottom left corner of the app. Tap the filter button in the top right corner. Now simply select your gender, language, and age preferences.
