What are the top picks on Tinder?

The top picks are the profiles that you’ll probably like the most. Every day, Tinder provides a curated Top Picks list to highlight the potential candidates that are the best fit for you. Since this list is limited and curated just for you, you’ll be able to find someone you’re interested in and swipe right to learn more. ^{[1] X Research Source}

The Top Pick feature is part of the Tinder Gpd (Gold) and Platinum (Platinum) plans.
The Top Picks feature was launched in September 2018.

How are Top Picks on Tinder Selected?

Top picks are selected based on the information in your profile. This means that information such as interests, interests, education and occupation will all be considered. Tinder uses this information to group users into categories such as “foodie” or “creative”. This makes it easy to find people like you. ^{[2] X Research Source}

Swiping also affects the Top Picks list. Tinder looks at your swipes to determine this list. If you tend to swipe left on certain types of users, such profiles are less likely to appear in Top Picks. ^{[3] X Research Sources}

Do the people in the Top Picks know they are the top pick?

There’s no way to know for sure. Tinder doesn’t notify you if you’re on someone’s Top Picks list. However, there’s a good chance you’ll make it to the Top Pick if you get more Super Likes and matches than usual.

You can tell when someone really likes you if you see a blue star on their profile while swiping, but that doesn’t mean you’ll be on that person’s Top Picks list. ^{[4] X Research Sources}

How to be a Top Pick on Tinder?

Make your profile more unique and personal! The Top Picks list is based on profile information, so you’ll be more likely to be selected if the profile section contains a lot of detail for the algorithm to work. You can also use keywords to improve your odds of being grouped and shown to similar people. With just a little effort, you will definitely be able to increase your chances. ^{[5] X Research Sources}

For example, you should add a university and musician somewhere in your bio (if you don’t already have one).
Appearance is also important to many people, so choose something beautiful.

All users receive a Top Picks list each day. But since it’s a feature on Tinder Gold and Platinum plans, you’ll need a membership if you want to see more of your Top Picks and interact with them. ^{[6] X Research Source}

Click the Gold or Platinum flame icon on the “Discovery” screen to see the Top Picks list.
The Top Picks list will be refreshed every 24 hours.

Advice
