Did you know that you have a limited amount of likes to give out on Tinder daily? The dating platform used to give users 120 likes every 12-hour period, but that dropped to 100, and even more recently, those numbers have changed again. This wikiHow article discusses how many likes you get on Tinder and gives you tips to get more. We’ll also share tips for getting more likes from other users.

Things You Should Know

  • Tinder used to give out 120 likes every 12 hours, but that has since decreased.
  • Guys get around 25-50 likes every 12 hours, while girls get over 50 likes every 12 hours.
  • Sign up for Tinder Plus to remove the limit on likes.

  1. That may sound like a low number, but Tinder uses this limit because men frequently swipe right on every person they see. [1] Along with their undiscerning swiping, many men are less likely to send messages. Together, this behavior adds up to the conclusion that guys on Tinder aren't as serious about finding quality matches as women.
  2. Why is their limit higher? Women tend to swipe right less often than men on Tinder, which appears to be a discerning behavior, and they have a higher chance to send a message to a match. When a girl uses her free likes sparingly, Tinder rewards her with more likes. [2]

Why is there a like limit?

  1. If you're swiping indiscriminately, Tinder can't help you make quality matches. The limit is to encourage you to swipe right only on people that you like. That way, Tinder ensures that your likes get you quality over quantity matches .
  2. Tinder sees an over-liker as a potential threat (like a bot), so the like limits prevent anyone from liking too many profiles within a 12-hour period. A fake profile tends to harm the community and make receiving users of the likes unhappy, so they are then likely to stop using Tinder. So, the like limit prevents that from happening.
  3. The free version has limited likes, but you can pay for the upgrade and get unlimited likes. People who are serious about dating are more willing to pay for Premium, but bots aren't going to pay for the unlimited likes. So, by limiting the likes of free users, Tinder is encouraging more users to sign up for premium plans. [3]

  1. The only guaranteed way to remove the like limits on Tinder is to sign up for a prescription. You can get unlimited likes with Tinder Plus, Tinder Gold, or Tinder Platinum. [4]
    • The higher subscription tiers also come with additional features, like a certain number of “Super Likes” per week (Gold and Platinum) or the ability to prioritize your likes (Platinum only).

Tips to get more likes from others

  1. If you’re trying to get more likes from other users on Tinder, there are a few tricks you can try to increase your chances. [5] One photo that only shows your face might not be enough to convince other people that you're swipe-right material. So, pick a variety of options that show off your best features and great personality. Try to upload photos that:
    • Show off different angles, and avoid hats or sunglasses (we want to see your face!). If you’re a guy, skip the photo of you holding a fish (it’s a bit of a meme online).
    • Include one (but only one; no one likes a profile that's filled with group photos!) group photo of you having fun with your friends. This will show you’re a blast to hang out with.
    • If you have a pet, upload a picture of you with your pet! People think pets are cute, so this should help!
  2. Your bio is a great place to showcase your personality for potential matches, so don’t leave it blank! You don’t have to make it super long and elaborate—in fact, keeping it simple is best. Just try to sum yourself up in a few lines. [6]
  3. Give someone a reason to message you on Tinder! Try one of the following prompts:
    • “If you’re into hiking, give me a review of the last trail you hiked.”
    • “Tell me your favorite book and I’ll talk your ear off!”
    • “If your favorite mob movie isn’t Goodfellas, tell me why and we can fight about it 😁”
    • “Share your favorite childhood story with me and you’ll win me over in an instant.”
