Tinder Elo score – What is it, how to increase and full guide to reset it<\/a><\/span><\/h1>\n

The Elo score on Tinder has been the gloom or doom for many users over the years.<\/span><\/p>\n

It can either make you the most desirable match around or bury your profile six feet under without many possibilities of recovery (although this can be reverted).<\/span><\/p>\n

\u200bIt’s also one of the<\/span> <\/span>best-kept Tinder secrets<\/a><\/span> that nobody knows exactly how it works.<\/span><\/p>\n

And it\u2019s finally been changed after so many complaints from users who lost their chances for unfair reasons.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this article, we are going to dive right into the secrets of Tinder\u2019s Elo score.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is it? How does it work? What is my Elo score? How can I increase it? <\/span><\/p>\n

Is it possible to reset my Elo score? <\/span><\/p>\n

These and more questions will be solved. And by the end of this, the so-called desirability score will be just another feature from Tinder that you will be able to master and use in your favor.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is the Tinder Elo score?<\/h2>\n

Before getting into the juicy details of how to increase or fix your Elo score, it\u2019s important that you know what it is.<\/span><\/p>\n

The short answer, that you probably already guessed, is that is a punctuation that Tinder gives to your profile.<\/span><\/p>\n

This helps to rank and organize all the profiles in the app from best to worst.<\/span><\/p>\n

With that order sorted, Tinder will arrange the profiles that every user sees in their swipe feed, and according to how the score changes, the profiles available for swiping will change too. <\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, these changes can be for better or for worse.<\/span><\/p>\n

But before diving into that, let\u2019s understand how the Elo score works.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"pics\"<\/span>\"gaming\"<\/span><\/p>\n

How does the Elo score work<\/h3>\n

The system was <\/span>borrowed from chess<\/span><\/a>, and it\u2019s also used in other sports, as well as multiplayer online games.<\/span><\/p>\n

We won\u2019t bore you to death with the science behind it, but rather explain in simple terms that the aim of the Elo score is to ensure a fair game for everyone and also attempt to predict future outcomes.<\/span><\/p>\n

This means several things:<\/span><\/p>\n

First of all, that you will be paired to swipe with profiles somehow equal to yours.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then, if you increase your reach by matching with hotter people, your score will go up. This will lead Tinder to show you better profiles to match with.<\/span><\/p>\n

But if you decrease your standards by matching with uglier persons, your score will go down. And you guessed right. This will make Tinder show you worse profiles every time.<\/p>\n

When your profile is at the top, and you match with a lower profile, their score goes up, but yours goes down. <\/p>\n

And this works all the way around too. <\/p>\n

Meaning that matching with a greater profile will increase your score, but lower theirs.<\/p>\n

And when similar profiles match (which is the point of the algorithm), both preserve their punctuation.<\/p>\n

However, Tinder won\u2019t be showing you good profiles if you have a low score, the same way that your good profile won\u2019t be shown to bad ones.<\/p>\n

Tinder\u2019s algorithm of desirability<\/h3>\n

This algorithm that rewards and<\/span> <\/span>punishes you<\/a><\/span> every move on Tinder is also known as desirability score for obvious reasons: the higher you rank, the more people want to match with you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although, don\u2019t let this name deceive you. Your looks have nothing to do with your score and more with your behavior in the app and the quality of your profile.<\/span><\/p>\n

The app will give an initial classification based on the general appearance of your pictures (analyzed with IA). <\/span><\/p>\n

This is why having good photos matters.<\/span><\/p>\n

Instead of looking at your dazzling blue eyes, what the app will notice is the bathroom in the background of your selfie.<\/span><\/p>\n

And then again, your kissable mouth won\u2019t be worth a dim if Tinder notices that your bio is empty.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s true that these rules apply to every user, but unfortunately, their behaviors are worlds apart. <\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore, the Elo score is different for women than for men.<\/span><\/p>\n

Elo score for women and men<\/h4>\n

Like we\u2019ve explained in our main article about Tinder, the dating app works differently for men than for women. And this affects the Elo score of both.<\/span><\/p>\n

Which oftentimes results in a vicious cycle that is not so hard to break once you know how you got there, and what to do to step out of there.<\/span><\/p>\n

Or even better, avoid falling in that hole the first place.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s see the differences on Tinder for both first.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022There are fewer women on Tinder, and they tend to choose more carefully.<\/p>\n

\u2022When a woman starts on Tinder, she\u2019ll have an awful lot of matches to pick from.<\/p>\n

\u2022And also an unreasonable number of conversations started.<\/p>\n

\u2022This will boost her natural confidence, leading her to be pickier, because she can.<\/p>\n

\u2022The more selective she becomes the more increases her Elo score.<\/p>\n

\u2022It will go all over the place when she starts matching with the most handsome around.<\/p>\n

\u2022Her profile will eventually become unreachable for average guys.<\/p>\n

\u2022Unless she stops using the app or screws her profile, she will remain on top of the ranks.<\/p>\n

\u2022There\u2019s plenty of men. Most addicted to right-swiping. This will drop the quality of profiles available.<\/p>\n

\u2022He will go from liking the hottest girls, to the average girls.<\/p>\n

\u2022When the average girls don\u2019t like him back, he will lower his standards.<\/p>\n

\u2022As likes keep going down, he\u2019ll get desperate and swipe right on every single girl. Pretty or not.<\/p>\n

\u2022Tinder will notice the low standards and show worse profiles every time.<\/p>\n

\u2022At some point, Boosts and memberships will be offered to revamp the profile, but they won\u2019t work as they promised.<\/p>\n

\u2022Eventually, the profile will get totally lost because there\u2019s no more Elo score. Meaning: nothing more to do on the app.<\/p>\n

\"couple-texting\"<\/span>\"couple-texting\"<\/span><\/p>\n

You can see it crystal clear: while one goes up and up, the other is digging their own Tinder grave.<\/span><\/p>\n

But don\u2019t you worry, we\u2019ll tell you what to do to avoid falling into this deadly trap, and how to get out of it if you already fell.<\/span><\/p>\n

Just keep reading.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is my Elo score?<\/h2>\n

Whether you\u2019ve been on Tinder for a while or you just opened your account, this might be drilling into your curiosity.<\/span><\/p>\n

Truth is that Tinder will never ever reveal this to anyone.<\/span><\/p>\n

But there are three clear clues to guess pretty accurately how good or bad your score is.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Quality of profiles available to swipe<\/strong><\/p>\n

You see beautiful people or is it a freak show? <\/p>\n

Wait a minute. At least you can see profiles, right? If there\u2019s no availability at all, this might be due to three factors: you either live in a very small region, you set up a fairly small radius of search, or you got shadowbanned.<\/p>\n

If you opened the radius and\/or changed the location but still have nothing to swipe, jump straight into the resetting section.<\/p>\n

2. Quantity of likes recived<\/strong><\/p>\n

The number of likes that you receive weekly is important as well. Is it going up, down, or steady?<\/p>\n

If you have Tinder Gold or Platinum you have a bonus, because you can see who liked you and get a better idea of your score. <\/p>\n

The better the profiles who swiped you, the higher is your Elo score.<\/p>\n

3. Amount of matches made<\/strong><\/p>\n

Giving and receiving likes can be one thing, but making matches is an entirely different matter.<\/p>\n

With a subscription and likes coming your way this shouldn\u2019t be a problem because you can go straight to the people who liked you to match with them.<\/p>\n

If you aren\u2019t making any matches at all, you might be starting to get in trouble.<\/p>\n

Yes, we get it, you want a good-looking girl who stops your heart every time you look at her, but be realistic and swipe girls you can actually match with.<\/p>\n

\"coins\"<\/span>\"coins\"<\/span><\/p>\n

How did you earn that score?<\/h3>\n

At the moment of opening your account for the first time, Tinder will assign you a score that ranges from above average to good depending on the quality of your profile.<\/span><\/p>\n

Along with this, will come what is known as a \u201cnoob boost\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

This means that for the first 48 hours or so, your profile will have high visibility in your location.<\/span><\/p>\n

This will be the highest on your time Tindering, so make good use of it, because not even a <\/span>Super Boost<\/span><\/strong> <\/span><\/a>will even it.<\/span><\/p>\n

The intention of this is to give you a friendly kick in the butt to push you into having a good experience on the app, and hopefully, help you get good matches ASAP.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, Tinder will be watching your every move. Which can play against you very quickly.<\/p>\n

If you fall into the trap of lowering your standards, there\u2019s no wonder why your score bit the dust.<\/p>\n

We know that it\u2019s easier said than done, but if you want to preserve a good score and even better, being able to increase it, refrain from being desperate.<\/p>\n

Instead of losing your mind swiping anything and everything, plan beforehand a good profile, craft an awesome Tinder bio, and be selective of the profiles you are presented with. <\/p>\n

Will you date that fat woman who is thirty years older than you and owns forty grumpy cats? <\/p>\n

Not really, right?<\/p>\n

Increasing Elo score on Tinder<\/h2>\n

The best thing you can do is follow this advice while you\u2019re still in the process of creating your Tinder account to start off with the right foot.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, you can also take these steps after your Elo score has been affected in order to have a good ranking on Tinder again.<\/span><\/p>\n

Or return to this section after resetting your profile. <\/span><\/p>\n

Whichever applies to you.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you got here wondering how to bring your Tinder profile back to life, you must know before we get started that the changes will take some time to show.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, don\u2019t lose your patience and trust us. It works.<\/span><\/p>\n

In case that not even with this help you\u2019re able to infuse new life into your Tinder account, you might have to reset your account. <\/span><\/p>\n

But that\u2019s an extreme measure that we are leaving to the very end on purpose. <\/span><\/p>\n

But that\u2019s an extreme measure that we are leaving to the very end on purpose. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"yes\"<\/span><\/p>\n

The new algorithm for Elo score<\/h2>\n

The way that Tinder classified profiles with the help of the Elo score and their super-secret algorithm was considered unfair for most users.<\/span><\/p>\n

As you might come to the conclusion yourself, the way it worked was claiming to make the game fair for everyone, when in reality, conditions were uneven for the users.<\/span><\/p>\n

And there was no way to know how Tinder decided who was considered attractive and who wasn\u2019t.<\/span><\/p>\n

Or how the points were assigned to profiles who belonged to average people and not supermodels.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"blame-you\"<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s why in 2019 Tinder announced important changes to their algorithm.<\/span><\/p>\n

They also said that the Elo score was going to disappear.<\/span><\/p>\n

But such change in an app that works mostly worldwide takes time to be implemented everywhere.<\/span><\/p>\n

What left us with a hybrid that combines the old Elo score that favors what Tinder considers good-looking people, along with new rules that are trying to ensure a truly fair game for every user.<\/span><\/p>\n

So now, you must pay attention to the points described above and combine them with the other two parameters that were thrown into the mix.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"thinking\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Activity<\/h3>\n

The first thing that Tinder wants is to favor active users. <\/p>\n

What \u201cactive\u201d means for Tinder now:<\/p>\n

Another important change that Tinder is doing to help users match, is showing in the feed people who are currently active or tend to be around the same hours as you.<\/p>\n

This means that if you like to open the app at 12 p.m. and at 12 a.m. Tinder will try to pair you with people who also like to open the app around midday and midnight. <\/p>\n

And it won\u2019t matter if at 12 p.m. you can find a lot of hotties while at 12 a.m. there are only fatties. (Not that they are, it\u2019s just an example).<\/p>\n

The new aim of Tinder is to pair people whose schedules are similar because this way, interaction can be done faster.<\/p>\n

This can also mean that when you take the flirting to other apps or real life, it will be easier for both to find time to meet or chat, or whatever you want to do.<\/p>\n

Location<\/h3>\n

The radius of the search will also become more important.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tinder will be looking for people who are active and close to you whenever you open the app.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since most people are more inclined to accept meeting someone who lives or works closer to them, this makes sense.<\/span><\/p>\n

Think about it: if both log in at the same time, around the same places, you might have more in common to start a conversation and kick it off from there.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, to squeeze the juice of this new parameter, we recommend that your location is updated every time that you change places to use the app.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"singing\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Resetting Elo score on Tinder<\/h2>\n

Two things before we tell you how to do it: <\/span><\/p>\n

The first one is that you must know that this is a desperate measure. <\/span><\/p>\n

Something you do as your last resource once you fall into \u201cTinder\u2019s basement\u201d and you can\u2019t get out of it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Try first improving your profile with good quality photos and a stunning bio.<\/span><\/p>\n

Change your swiping behavior and reply to the messages rather sooner than later if you manage to start a conversation. <\/span><\/p>\n

If nothing worked and you feel like resetting your profile is the only option left, we must warn you too that it\u2019s advised to do it only once a year. Twice tops.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s also better doing the reset when your account has been inactive for too long, than because you lost your Elo score shortly after opening Tinder.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"despair\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Activity<\/h3>\n

The first thing that Tinder wants is to favor active users. <\/p>\n

What \u201cactive\u201d means for Tinder now:<\/p>\n

Another important change that Tinder is doing to help users match, is showing in the feed people who are currently active or tend to be around the same hours as you.<\/p>\n

This means that if you like to open the app at 12 p.m. and at 12 a.m. Tinder will try to pair you with people who also like to open the app around midday and midnight. <\/p>\n

And it won\u2019t matter if at 12 p.m. you can find a lot of hotties while at 12 a.m. there are only fatties. (Not that they are, it\u2019s just an example).<\/p>\n

So, to squeeze the juice of this new parameter, we recommend that your location is updated every time that you change places to use the app.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"singing\"<\/span>\"man-computer\"<\/span><\/p>\n

The second thing you should know is that there\u2019s not such a thing as resetting your Tinder profile.<\/p>\n

Is called that, but what you\u2019ll actually be doing is erasing an account to make a new one with the exact same information.<\/p>\n

Note that all your swipes, matches, conversations, and purchases will get lost on the way.<\/p>\n

If you also had a subscription running, it\u2019ll get lost as well. And there\u2019s no refunding.<\/p>\n

Speaking of subscriptions, remember to cancel them before you do anything with your profile.<\/p>\n

If you forget to cancel a membership and you delete your Tinder, you will be paying for the subscription with no easy way to get rid of the automatic charge, so pay attention.<\/p>\n

Now that the warnings were given, here\u2019s how to reset your profile in two different ways.<\/p>\n

Resetting Elo score on Tinder<\/h2>\n

Two things before we tell you how to do it: <\/span><\/p>\n

The first one is that you must know that this is a desperate measure. <\/span><\/p>\n

Something you do as your last resource once you fall into \u201cTinder\u2019s basement\u201d and you can\u2019t get out of it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Try first improving your profile with good quality photos and a stunning bio.<\/span><\/p>\n

Change your swiping behavior and reply to the messages rather sooner than later if you manage to start a conversation. <\/span><\/p>\n

If nothing worked and you feel like resetting your profile is the only option left, we must warn you too that it\u2019s advised to do it only once a year. Twice tops.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s also better doing the reset when your account has been inactive for too long, than because you lost your Elo score shortly after opening Tinder.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"despair\"<\/span><\/p>\n

The second thing you should know is that there\u2019s not such a thing as resetting your Tinder profile.<\/span><\/p>\n

Is called that, but what you\u2019ll actually be doing is erasing an account to make a new one with the exact same information.<\/span><\/p>\n

Note that all your swipes, matches, conversations, and purchases will get lost on the way.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you also had a subscription running, it\u2019ll get lost as well. And there\u2019s no refunding.<\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking of subscriptions, remember to cancel them before you do anything with your profile.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you forget to cancel a membership and you delete your Tinder, you will be paying for the subscription with no easy way to get rid of the automatic charge, so pay attention.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now that the warnings were given, here\u2019s how to reset your profile in two different ways.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"worry\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Full \u201cquick\u201d reset<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s called quick because you can do it in an hour or so.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you were waiting for a magic 5-second trick, well\u2026 there\u2019s not such a thing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, remember the part about Tinder gathering every piece of information about you? <\/span><\/p>\n

In order for this reset to work, you need to be careful about it.<\/span><\/p>\n

This means unlinking accounts, deleting the access to Tinder from Facebook, and in most cases, making new accounts from scratch so Tinder doesn\u2019t realize it\u2019s the same person again.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you are willing to go through that, keep going. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"computer1\"<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. In case that you had a good bio, copy it and paste it somewhere else. <\/li>\n
  2. Same for your pics. If they\u2019re good, make sure you have a backup.<\/li>\n
  3. Go to the Profile tab<\/strong> \u2192 Settings<\/strong> \u2192 Scroll to the bottom<\/strong> \u2192 Delete account<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  4. Confirm that you want to delete the account.<\/li>\n
  5. Uninstall Tinder.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  6. Make sure that there\u2019s no trace of the app on your device by looking through the folders and erasing any remnant information.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"computer1\"<\/span><\/p>\n

    Your account has been deleted now and you\u2019re ready for a fresh start.<\/p>\n

    But before, there are a few steps to take.<\/p>\n

    If you were logged in using Facebook:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Log into the Facebook linked to Tinder<\/li>\n
    2. Go to Settings<\/strong> \u2192 Apps and websites<\/strong><\/li>\n
    3. Look for Tinder in the list and click the X<\/strong> or on \u201cRemove\u201d<\/strong> to delete it.<\/li>\n
    4. Confirm<\/strong> the action.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \"computer-dog\"<\/span><\/p>\n

      Your account has been deleted now and you\u2019re ready for a fresh start.<\/p>\n

      But before, there are a few steps to take.<\/p>\n

      If you were logged in using Facebook:<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Log into the Facebook linked to Tinder<\/li>\n
      2. Go to Settings<\/strong> \u2192 Apps and websites<\/strong><\/li>\n
      3. Look for Tinder in the list and click the X<\/strong> or on \u201cRemove\u201d<\/strong> to delete it.<\/li>\n
      4. Confirm<\/strong> the action.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        \"computer-dog\"<\/span>\"man-phone\"<\/span><\/p>\n

        In case that you want to link your new Tinder with Facebook again, you\u2019ll need to create a new Facebook account as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

        Some say it can be empty, but we recommend that you add some friends, like the same pages, upload photos, and even start posting so Tinder knows you are a real person.<\/span><\/p>\n

        The same goes for every other account that you had previously linked. Make new ones.<\/span><\/p>\n

        For former subscribers to Plus, Gold, or Platinum, it\u2019s also important to know that you\u2019ll need a new Google Play or Apple ID, depending on which OS you use.<\/span><\/p>\n

        For users who logged in with a phone, you will need another number that has never been used on Tinder for SMS verification.<\/span><\/p>\n

        After all those steps are complete, you can create a new Tinder account.<\/span><\/p>\n

        Make sure that your pictures are excellent, your bio is compelling and that you are honest.<\/span><\/p>\n

        And don\u2019t forget to follow the advice above to increase your Elo score to make the reset worth it.<\/span><\/p>\n

        \"man-phone\"<\/span><\/p>\n

        Patient reset<\/h3>\n

        One of Tinder\u2019s policies is that they will erase all the information of a user three months after the profile was deleted.<\/span><\/p>\n

        This is why you need to create new accounts if you opt for the first method.<\/span><\/p>\n

        But if you\u2019re patient, and you don\u2019t feel like creating a new Facebook profile, or asking your family or friends for their phones, this is a good option to get a reset on Tinder.<\/span><\/p>\n

        It also gives you plenty of time to think thoroughly about the profile that you\u2019ll set up.<\/span><\/p>\n

        Three months are more than enough to hire a photographer, get good pictures, craft an awesome bio, learn how to text (or hire us so we can guide you through the whole process) and get back at the top of your game.<\/span><\/p>\n

        It\u2019s also a safer method, because the chances of Tinder noticing what you did are much, much smaller.<\/span><\/p>\n

        We won\u2019t lie, no method is fail-proof. <\/span><\/p>\n

        With both, you have the risk of Tinder spotting you and shadowbanning you.<\/span><\/p>\n

        But waiting 90 days will almost grant you a clean restart without trouble.<\/span><\/p>\n

        \"man-phone\"<\/span><\/p>\n

        Shadowbanning<\/h3>\n

        We\u2019ve been throwing the word around a lot without actually explaining clearly what it means.<\/span><\/p>\n

        A<\/span> <\/span>Tinder shadowbanning<\/a><\/span> <\/span>is the way of the app to make you invisible after you lose all your Elo score or if they catch you resetting your profile.<\/span><\/p>\n

        They will never tell if you get shadowbanned, and you won\u2019t notice either at first glance.<\/span><\/p>\n

        But it\u2019s in the tiny things where you can know if Tinder punished you.<\/span><\/p>\n

        If your profile stops having all kinds of activity and you don\u2019t get a single like, chances are that you have been shadowbanned.<\/span><\/p>\n

        When this happens, the only fix is a hard reset.<\/span><\/p>\n

        Let\u2019s repeat it one last time just to be clear: you must be careful at the time of resetting your Tinder to avoid being shadowbanned (again) as soon as you open the new profile.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

        It would be a shame that after spending quite some time taking new pictures, thinking of a good bio, improving your texting skills, and possibly opening new accounts on social media all go to waste. <\/span><\/p>\n

        Wouldn\u2019t it?<\/span><\/p>\n

        So, proceed with caution and good luck.<\/span><\/p>\n

        Hovalo tip:<\/span><\/strong>Remember that resetting your profile is sort of okay-ish once or twice a year. Especially when it\u2019s because you stopped using the app.<\/span><\/p>\n

        The verdict about Elo score on Tinder<\/h2>\n

        It was meant to be a helper but turned to be a downer in some cases.<\/span><\/p>\n

        It was supposed to be erased, but it\u2019s still important no matter what Tinder claims.<\/span><\/p>\n

        The good thing is that it\u2019s not unbeatable. <\/span><\/p>\n

        The steps to conquer your Elo score take a little bit of effort, patience, and time, but it\u2019s all worth it once you master them.<\/span><\/p>\n

        And see it this way: you\u2019re not competing against Tinder. <\/span><\/p>\n

        You will be constantly competing against yourself to become always a better version who can attract the exact kind of person that you expect to have by your side.<\/span><\/p>\n

        \"hot\"<\/span><\/p>\n

        It can be tiring the thought of changing your profile completely and having to take Tinder as something serious even if you weren\u2019t looking for something serious.<\/span><\/p>\n

        But, you reap what you\u2019ve sown. <\/span><\/p>\n

        So, in the end, if you really mean to find someone through Tinder, it\u2019s worth it to make a good profile and work towards improving your Elo score, because it will work wonders for you.<\/span><\/p>\n
