Introduction to Tinder Smart Photos
The idea behind the Tinder Smart Photos concept is simple. After activating Tinder Smart Photos, the app will automatically choose the main photo to show. After that, the app will analyze the number of left / right swipes received by each photo. Depending on the number of swipes, the photos will be organized automatically (considering the popularity). Well, in theory, your best photo will be featured as the main photo in Tinder according to this concept.
Tinder initially launched a testing phase to measure the success of the Tinder Smart Photos concept. During this time, there has been a twelve percent increase in matches.
How to activate the Tinder Smart Photos feature?
Using Tinder Smart Photos is a pretty simple task. Even if you are a beginner, enabling it is a breeze. Well, let's see how to activate this feature.
- Launch the Tinder app and go to the “Profile” icon “Located in the upper left corner
- Go to the "Edit information" option
- Then, scroll down the screen and select the option "Photo Options"
- Toggle the switch next to “Smart Photos” to activate it
- To turn it off, just turn off the switch
The functionality of Tinder Smart Photos
Tinder Smart Photos uses a special algorithm that determines the right photo scrolling speed. This algorithm is able to count the total swipes. Each SSR (Swipe Right Rate) photo will be determined by this option.
The main task of this algorithm is to define photos which are in exploration mode and exploit mode. According to the browsing mode, the photos will be tested and the best photos will be determined. Exploit mode ensures you get the most popular photo and put it in the first position. Through this method, the app will determine your most suitable photo to place as the first image. The algorithm also considered the number of impressions of the photos (all of them). The most popular photos will then be moved to the front of the interface as time passes. The sequence of the photos will be determined according to this algorithm.
This means that Tinder will automatically change the photo and you will get a notification. In addition to that, you will also see the changes that have occurred on the login page.
Does the “Tinder Smart Photos” option really work?
It is true that there are a couple of glitches associated with Smart Photos. For example, not all Tinder users go straight to their favorite photos. Instead, they just go to the last one and swipe the finger.
Well, if someone goes through all the photos before scrolling, they will reach the last photo. So if they have to swipe their favorite photo right, they have to go all the way back. So only they have the option to swipe the photo right. Otherwise, the app will not be able to accurately collect the information and rate the images. If you are a Tinder newbie, you may be wondering if this process takes time. The truth is that it isn't! Actually, it involves swiping the photo left or right depending on the requirements.
There is another possible problem associated with Tinder Smart Photos. This is a lack of data. If the profile has not engaged in insignificant amount of actions, the formation is created with limited data. Well, if you live in an area where there is less population, you may need to consider an option like Photofeeler. But don't get it wrong that we suggest you avoid using the Smart Photos feature. We're trying to point out that Smart Photos isn't that accurate.
Other than that, we should mention another drawback associated with Tinder Smart Photos. This feature ranks your photos regardless of whether they are good or bad. If you have some really awful photography training, you can still get a couple of steps right. Then, the photo that got the “greatest” number of swipes on the right will be automatically classified as the “best” photo. Perhaps, that can be the terrible photo in your lineup. This is because the automated system does not necessarily determine the appearance of the photo by looking at it. Instead, consider the number of right swips. So, your match rate won't be that accurate.
So if you need to get an accurate ranking on Tinder, you should only do it with better photos. Make sure you upload better-looking photos. Just like with any other social media app, try using your best captured photo on Tinder as well. After creating a series of photos, you can let Smart Photos decide the best option among others. If you wonder how to make your photos more attractive, read the following paragraph of our article.
Practical ways to improve the look of photos
Here are the practical ways to
1) Increase the contrast
According to studies, Tinder images that have higher contrast tend to be preferred by viewers. Tinder users show more interest in properly scrolling high contrast photos than others. You can do this experiment by yourself. Take a look at the photos of others and you will see that the ones you like are very contrasting. By increasing the contrast, you must necessarily make the respective photo highlighted in the background instead of blending with it.
2) The photos must be simple
When we look at a photo, we begin to prefer photos that are not complicated. This is because our brains like simpler images than complicated ones. In many studies, the photos that were preferred by other tinder users seemed more simplified. The brain has less work to do when we look at a simple image. Hence, the brain prefers it. Simply put, plain photos are the best to use in Tinder. So, make sure you take photos that are easy to look at, clear, and easily identifiable. If the photo is taken by a high quality camera, the overall quality is better
3) Crop the image correctly
It is true that at least one full-body image must be included in the photographic sequence. But we suggest that your main photo should be exposed. This is when a properly cropped photo should be used. Make sure you crop the photo to properly expose the upper body.
Well, the photos that are cropped in this way will be perfectly compatible with the requirement of simplicity. However, we did find that traditional headshots scored better. To increase the chances of making contact with another party, use a photo that shows your eyes. Seeing your eyes make others believe in you and feel connected with you without hesitation.
You should know that eye contact is extremely important when it comes to making connections. If you can make your eyes perfectly visible on the image, you can easily make new connections.
4) Mix between elegant and casual
You can use one image in casual dress and another in elegant dress. People's preferences differ drastically. We should be smart enough to tackle both categories. If you have two photos (one in casual and the other in dress), you can grab the attention of both categories.
5) Smiling: yes or no? Depends.
If you're a man, smiling doesn't matter much when taking a photo for Tinder. However, if you are a woman, men will love to see your smile. As a man, anything you need to do with a straight look with perfect eye contact will do the trick. Plus, if you can use a flirty look, that would be really great. However, it is up to you to decide whether or not you look good in a smile. If you look good in a smile, choose a photo with a smile.
So, these are the tips you should take into consideration when setting up Smart Photos in Tinder .
