Those that browse Tinder must’ve noticed a gold diamond icon close to their profile cards, have you ever wondered what it means or what it stands for?
The Diamond icon is solely for Top Picks. This is one of the latest features that showed up last summer and has been circulated globally. It was initially experimental to see how users will react to it, apparently, the reaction has been great so it went worldwide. The experiment was tested in the United Kingdom, Germany, Brazil, France, Canada, Turkey, Mexico, Sweden, Russia and Holland before it reached America and then the whole world.
So what exactly is Tinder Top Picks and what is its use? It is just another premium service provided by Tinder. As a Tinder Gold subscriber, you should’ve come across the Top Picks in your app. It is a feature that picks out between 1 and 10 matches that it believes you might fancy.
It focuses on quality and not quantity. It also engages in the use of an algorithm to offer straightforward access to the appropriate candidates with little effort.
Top Picks is very much important for individuals that find constant searching very boring or those that love to save time and get rapid access to possible dates without having to go through stress checking out several, hundreds of them.
Tinder, the app itself, said, “Picks delivers a personalized, premium user experience within Tinder Gold that puts a spotlight on unique characteristics that make our users stand out. Just like a friend who introduces you to someone special because you share common interests, Picks makes finding potential matches even simpler, more fun, and more useful. For years, our users have asked for this sort of feature — we couldn’t be happier to deliver.”
Making Use Of Tinder Top Picks
Like i said earlier, to make use of Tinder Top Picks, you must be a premium member. As a Tinder Gold subscriber, you can automatically access Top Picks. If the version of the app you use costs nothing, the diamond icon will still be visible but the Top Pick Profiles will not be accessible by you.
As a subscriber, you might’ve visited the Top Picks page without even knowing you did. If that is not the case, try this:
- Launch Tinder and select the diamond at the top of the Discovery screen.
- View the selections and navigate left or right as you please.
- Hold on for Top Picks to refresh every day or purchase more if you desire that.
If you notice the diamond icon in Tinder, that translates to the person being in your Top Picks.
That’s it.
What Top Picks Is All About
Like always, the exact way Top Picks works is classified but we are fully aware of the basic principle. All you have to do is keep swiping to have access to the qualities you fancy and the ones you do not. When you swipe, Tinder records several pieces of data about the profile and makes use of them. The plan is to offer a list of the most likely people you would swipe on to prevent time-wasting and boost your desired result plus even your addiction to the Tinder app.
There is also the matter of the trait, which is another aspect of Tinder. It displays things like “Traveler,” “Foodie,” “Creative,” “Scholar,” and many more on profiles in the Top Picks. It is a trait allotted by Tinder as per what is in the profile. For instance, if a musician talks about being a singer, they get the label “Creative.” If its someone who loves adventures and speak about visiting several countries, he or she get tagged “Traveler.”
These traits do not mean much but are very vital if you seek a particular type.
One vital knowledge you should have about Tinder Picks is that they are time limited. They refresh daily so if you find a person you fancy, swipe on them immediately. Depending on how much you can accommodate, they will surely pop up in the normal rotation but if your location is somewhere else with several users, it will take some time.
The time restriction is not bad if you ask me. It aids users to be quick to decide rather than take their time and end up doing nothing. It fastens your Tinder usage amazingly as long as your profile and pics are adequate. Even if the probability of a Top Pick showing up is high, there are no certainties which force your hand if you wish to not miss out. You have to agree that this alone makes Top Picks exciting.
