Spotlight

Updated

Spotlight shows you one profile a day that we’ve picked for you, so you can slow down and take a proper look at one person. It refreshes every day at 8:00 p.m. UTC.

How to use it

  1. Tap the “Explore” tab.
  2. On the “Spotlight” card, slide to reveal today’s profile (“Slide to reveal”).
  3. Look through their profile, then like them, pass, or save them for later.

Good to know

  • The card says “Refreshes daily at …” in your own time zone. When it refreshes, the previous profile leaves Spotlight.
  • If you save them, they go to “Saved for later” in the “Likes” tab, where you have 48 hours to decide. See Save for later.
  • We pick someone who fits your age, gender and distance preferences, and whose preferences you fit too. If there’s no one to show, you won’t see a Spotlight that day.
  • People who’ve used the app recently are more likely to be picked, so staying active improves your chances of being someone’s Spotlight.
  • Spotlight is still an experiment, so it may change over time.
