Tap the heart icon at the bottom of the screen to open the Liked You tab. That tab lists the people who have already liked you, and on each card you swipe right to like her back or left to pass. Bumble says you need to upgrade to Premium to see everyone who has liked you, and depending on your plan you see either a grid or a blurred stack.
Opening the Liked You tab
The heart icon sits at the bottom of the screen. Tap it and you land on the Liked You page.
From there you scroll through the women who have liked you. Tap any card to see more of her before you decide. Swipe right and you match straight away, since she has already said yes. Swipe left and you pass.
Bumble also puts anyone who sent you a Note or a SuperSwipe at the top of the page. A Note is a short message about something she liked, sent before a match. A SuperSwipe is a sign that she went past an ordinary like.
What you see on each plan
Bumble is clear that seeing everyone who liked you is a Premium feature. Its plan page lists "See who already liked you" under Premium, and Premium+ includes everything Premium does.
Bumble also says that, depending on your subscription level, the tab shows you either a grid or a blurred stack. Seeing everyone is the part tied to Premium.
Premium comes with other things as well, including Advanced Filters, Incognito Mode and Travel Mode. So if you are weighing whether to pay, count the whole plan and not just the queue. You can look over the plans from your profile tab in the app, and prices change, so check them there before you buy.
The four tabs inside it
The Liked You page has four tabs that sort the same women in different ways.
Really into you shows members who are more selective with their likes and whose attention you caught. Notes shows the women who left you a Note before matching. Nearby shows women close to your current location, sorted by distance. Recently active is the fourth.
Each tab is just a different order for the same queue. Start with Notes, because those women already gave you something to talk about.
When someone is missing
Sometimes you get a notification that someone liked you and then cannot find her. Bumble's explanation is that she may not meet the filters you set, even though you meet hers.
Say your age range stops at 32 and she is 34. Her range includes you, so her like goes through and you hear about it. Your range leaves her out, so she stays out of view. Bumble's suggestion is to adjust or relax your filters and see whether she appears.
The same thing works in bulk. Bumble notes that stacking filters cuts down who you are likely to see, in Liked You as much as in the People tab. If the queue looks oddly quiet, your own settings are the first thing to check.
Is paying to see them worth it?
a dating coach's general view on paid features is that men lose more by refusing to spend anything than they save. Weigh the fee against the evenings of swiping it saves you, and it often comes out ahead. He is just as clear that you should test each paid feature rather than buy blindly.
The Liked You tab has an obvious appeal. Every right swipe there is a match, because she already said yes. For a man who spends a lot of evenings swiping, that saves real time.
The trap is treating the queue as a list of sure things and matching with everyone in it. A like is a small signal. Match with the women you would actually take out, and pass on the rest the same way you would in the People tab.
What to do once you match
She liked you, but that attraction is thin. It rests on a few pictures and a line or two of text. One flat message can end it, the same as with any other match.
Bumble gives each of you one opening message, due within 72 hours of the match. If she writes first, your 72 hours to answer start from her message. So do not let a good match from the queue sit.
Make the opener about her. A pointed question about her page, an interest you share, or a little game like two truths and a lie gives her far more to answer than "hey" does.
After a few good exchanges, suggest a drink. a dating coach's advice is to break the plan into small yeses: agree on the idea, then the night, then the place, rather than asking for all three in one message.
