Filters help you curate who you see in your 'People' tab. Here’s how they work:
Basic filters:
You can choose filters to see the people you’d most like to connect with. These filters include age, distance*, if their profile is verified, languages they know, and similar interests. In the US and Canada, you can also set your ethnicity preferences. You can change these at any time by going to Basic filters.
You can also select “Show other people if I run out”. That means once you’ve seen everyone within your filters, we may show you people outside them to help you make more connections.
Advanced Filters:
Advanced Filters are part of Bumble Premium, and you can choose an unlimited number of them. Just remember, you can only use a filter if you’ve added this information to your profile (e.g., if you haven’t shown your stance on smoking, you can’t filter for non-smokers).
How to set Advanced Filters:
- Head to 'People'.
- Tap the filters icon in the top right corner.
- Select the 'Advanced Filters' tab.
- Choose the filters you’re interested in applying.
Remember: The more filters you apply, the less people you're likely to see in the People tab, and Liked You tab (for Premium subscribers). If things seem a little quiet, try adjusting your filters to see more people.
