Bumble Swipe Limit – How Many Bumble Swipes Do You Get Per Day?
Bumble is one of the most popular dating apps out there. But like other apps, it doesn’t let you swipe forever unless you pay.
So, you might be wondering: what is the Bumble swipe limit, and when do your daily likes reset?
Our guide is covering everything you need to know about Bumble’s swiping limit, how you can get more daily swipes, and how to avoid getting your profile punished.
Let’s dive in!
Does Bumble Limit Swipes Per Day?
Bumble has a daily swipe limit for free users. When you reach this limit, you see a message “you’ve hit the end of the line for today” and have to wait 24 hours for your swipes to reset.
It’s important to note that Bumble only limits right swipes, or liking someone. You can swipe left on as many profiles as you want.
This is the same strategy other apps use, and you have limited Hinge likes and Tinder likes per day as well.
According to Bumble, “In order to help foster more genuine, quality connections for our users and encourage more intentional swiping we incorporated a daily swipe limit. We know the more thoughtful our users are about their swipes, the more likely they are to strike up conversations that lead to meaningful connections.”
What Is The Bumble Swipe Limit?
Bumble doesn’t state what its daily swipe limit is, and it varies per user according to Bumble’s algorithm. Personally, I get around 50 free Bumble swipes per day. However, in the past, I only got around 25 free swipes per day.
There’s a theory that swiping right faster or swiping right on every profile gives you fewer likes per day.
I think this is true, and I’ve noticed that endlessly swiping right only gets me around 25 to 40 free likes per day.
This isn’t an exact science, but in short, expect around 50 free Bumble swipes per day.
What To Do If You Reach Your Bumble Swiping Limit
If you reach your Bumble swiping limit but want to keep getting matches, you have a few options.
Some of these options are free while others require paying, so let’s break down each option so you can make the right choice.
1. Wait For Bumble Likes To Reset
Once you reach the Bumble swipe limit, you have to wait a full 24 hours for swipes to reset. This means if you use up all your Bumble swipes at 6:00 pm, you have to wait until 6:00pm the following day to swipe again.
This means it’s best to use your Bumble swipes early in the day so you can swipe again once the 24 hour period passes.
2. Pay For Bumble Premium
Another option to get around Bumble’s swiping limit is to pay for Bumble.
Bumble prompts you to do this once you run out of swipes. If you pay for Bumble Boost, you get unlimited swipes and other perks like:
- 1 Spotlight per week
- 5 SuperSwipes per week
- Unlimited Bumble Extends
- Rematch with matches that expire
- Backtracks (lets you rewind on accidental swipes)
Here’s how much Bumble Boost costs:
- 1 Week: $7.99.
- 1 Month: $18.99.
- 3 Months: $39.99.
- 6 Months: $59.99
This is honestly pretty expensive and is similar to paying for Tinder Platinum or Hinge Preferred.
But if you want to avoid the Bumble swipe limit completely, Bumble Boost is your best option.
3. Use Other Dating Apps
One final option to get around Bumble’s daily likes limit is to just use other dating apps.
Personally, I use Hinge, Tinder, and Bumble. I guess this is what life is like when you date in your 20s!
I don’t pay for these apps because between all three, I get more than enough free likes per day.
So, look at your budget, and decide if you’d rather pay for Bumble Boost or use the free version of several apps.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Often Do Bumble Swipes Reset?
Bumble swipes take 24 hours to reset. The reset clock begins from the time you use your last swipe for the day. So if you run out of swipes at 5:00 pm, you have to wait until 5:00 pm the next day to swipe again.
Does Bumble Punish You For Swiping Too Much
Some users think Bumble punishes your profile with its algorithm if you swipe too much by making you run out of swipes faster. There’s also a theory that Bumble doesn’t show your profile to as many people if you swipe right too quickly.
Again, Bumble tries to make people have meaningful matches. So I think the theory of Bumble punishing profiles who mindlessly swipe makes sense.
My advice is to take time with your Bumble swipes. This is better for the algorithm and leads to better matches!
Can You Swipe Too Much On Bumble?
If you swipe too much on Bumble, you run out of swipes and have to pay for Bumble Boost or wait for swipes to reset. You might also get punished by Bumble’s algorithm according to some theories out there.
Final Thoughts
I hope this guide on the daily Bumble swipe limit helps you understand more about how this dating app works, the limitations, and what to do if you run out of swipes.
Personally, I don’t think paying for Bumble Boost is worth it, but this is the best way to get unlimited swipes.
In any case, best of luck with your swipes and getting more matches!
