Do you want to get more matches on Bumble? We recommend trying out Spotlight. This moves your profile to the top of the stack for 30 minutes, meaning more users will see your profile. This is a paid feature, but it’s an easy and fast way to get more matches. This wikiHow article will teach you how to use Spotlight on Bumble.

Steps

1
Open Bumble on your Android, iPhone, or iPad. The app icon is yellow with a white hexagon inside.
2
Go to your profile. This is the icon in the lower left corner that looks like a person.

- If you have a Bumble Boost or Bumble Premium account (that is, a paid version), you already have access to one Spotlight per week. So, if you haven’t used it yet, your 30 minutes will automatically start after you tap this button. Skip to step 7 if this applies to you.
4
Choose the number of Spotlights you want. Do so by tapping on one of the four buttons that range from 1 to 30 Spotlights.
5
Purchase the Spotlights. Simply tap on the yellow button at the bottom of your screen and follow the instructions for purchasing.
6
Go back to your profile. This is the icon in the lower left corner that looks like a person.
7
Tap on Spotlight. Your thirty minutes will now begin. During this time, your profile will appear at the top of the stack, meaning more people will see you!
8
Go to your feed. This button is located at the bottom of your screen, and the icon looks like three lines.
9
Start swiping. Now simply swipe left or right on profiles as you normally would. You can most likely expect to get more matches than normal during these thirty minutes. Happy swiping!
