Since people ask what the blue star means on Tinder, we answer. Tinder has two features that use a blue star. Great likes and verified profiles. For illustrative purposes, we’re using Tinder’s official press photos, so we’re not revealing anyone’s matches.
What is the Tinder Blue Star: Super Like
On Tinder, you can only message someone if you match them. From the start, when you saw a profile on Tinder, you had the option of swiping left to forward them or swiping right in the hope that they would do the same and thus match you. In 2015, Tinder offered the “Super Like” option by swiping up or pressing the blue star icon.
Super Likes are not an automatic match, but to the person who Super Liked you, your profile will appear with a bright blue footer and a star icon. You’ll also see a star icon next to your name in your matches. According to Tinder, “Members are three times more likely to match with someone they super like, and conversations initiated by a Super Like last 70% longer.”
All Tinder members can send a free Super Like every day. Tinder Plus subscribers can send up to five Super Likes per day.
The other Tinder Blue Star Tinder: Verified profiles through photo verification
Similar to Twitter, Facebook and other social networks, Tinder offers a blue star next to profiles that have taken some steps to verify themselves. The blue badge is awarded to all users worldwide who have participated in photo verification since 2021.
Photo verification allows users to self-authenticate through a series of real-time selfies that are compared to existing profile photos using human-powered AI technology. Successfully verified profiles are displayed with a blue checkmark.
