Opening Moves
An Opening Move is a question on your profile that a match can answer to start the chat. When a photo backs it up, the answer writes itself.

Opening Move
“A slow coffee at that café. Where is it?”

Photo order
Bumble lets you add up to 6 photos and videos, and suggests 4 to 6 work best. Give each slot a different role in your profile.

Slot 1
Smiling, face clear, no sunglasses. Start with a photo that makes you easy to recognize.

Slot 2
Show what you look like beyond a close-up, with your whole outfit in view.

Slot 3
Choose an interest you enjoy that gives someone an easy question to ask.

Slot 4
A social setting where you stay easy to spot. Save it for a supporting slot.

Slot 5
A place or occasion that starts a conversation.
Slot 6
Keep your profile honest and current with a recent photo of you.

MatchPhotos is designed for people who are tired of blending in and ready to stand out. If you’ve been struggling to get noticed on dating apps, we make it easy to upgrade your profile, with photos that look like they were taken by a professional photographer.
Bumble verification
Bumble’s photo verification compares a live selfie with your profile photos to check that you are the person in them. Follow the verification instructions shown in your app.
Choose photos closest to how you look today, with a clear view of your face. Generating photos from your selfies does not guarantee a verification result.
Source: Bumble photo verificationBumble’s Best Photo can put your most popular photo first. Give it several clear first-photo candidates that you have already checked for likeness and quality.
Build a varied profile with photos that give someone a reason to say hi.
