A Boost makes you the #1 profile in your area for 60 minutes, so more people see you. Anyone can buy Boosts, and Smitten Premium includes one free Boost a month.
How to boost your profile
- Open the Feed tab.
- Tap the lightning bolt button at the top right (between Undo and Filters).
- Choose how long to boost: “1 hour”, “3 hours” or “6 hours”. Each hour uses one Boost.
- Tap “Boost for 1 hour” (or the length you picked).
If you don’t have enough Boosts, the button takes you to “Get more boosts”, where you can buy a pack. When your Boost ends, the app shows “Boost ended” with the likes you got while it ran.
Your monthly Premium Boost
- With Smitten Premium you get one free Boost. It doesn’t expire, so you can save it for a good moment.
- After you use it, a new one arrives about a month later, as long as you still have Premium. Unused monthly Boosts don’t pile up.
- If your Premium ends while you still have the monthly Boost, you can still use it.
- When you boost, your monthly Boost is used before any Boosts you bought.
Get the most out of a Boost
- Turn off Incognito and unpause your profile first. A Boost doesn’t improve your visibility while you’re hidden, and the app asks “Are you sure?” before it lets you boost.
- Boost in the evening. The app treats 8 to 10 pm as peak time, with up to 9x visibility, against up to 3x at other times.
- While your Boost is running, your likes don’t count toward the daily like limit.
- You can’t start a new Boost while one is already running.
