id=\"Why_Tinder_Swipe_Surge_it_great\"><\/span>Why Tinder Swipe Surge it great?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p>Tinder claims that during a Swipe Surge the activity on the app is around 15X more than in normal circumstances. With this high number of active users on the app, your chances of matching increases by 250% and the chance of a conversation also by 33%, claimed by the official press release by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.help.tinder.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/360022797811-Swipe-Surge\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tinder<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_does_Swipe_Surge_happen\"><\/span>When does Swipe Surge happen?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p>The main idea behind Swipe Surge that its occurrence is based on online user activity data, so it is not a time slot that Tinder deliberately chooses. Whenever they experience a spike in online user number (at least two times the average user numbers online), they notify users that Swipe Surge is on.<\/p>\r\n<p>To be more specific, according to Tinder press release, it most likely happens when there is an event in the neighborhood like a concert, a festival a sporting event or holiday events, etc. Even if no special event is held, Monday evening tends to be one of the most active periods on the app.<\/p>\r\n<p>Whenever it happens, if there is a spike in active online user numbers, Tinder will let you know that there is a Swipe Surge at that moment.<\/p>\r\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-119\" src=\"https:\/\/boostmatches.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/tinder-swipe-surge-2.png\" alt=\"Swipe Surge\" width=\"249\" height=\"377\" srcset=\"https:\/\/boostmatches.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/tinder-swipe-surge-2.png 249w, https:\/\/boostmatches.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/tinder-swipe-surge-2-198x300.png 198w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 249px) 100vw, 249px\" \/><\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_long_does_Swipe_Surge_last\"><\/span>How long does\u00a0 Swipe Surge last?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p>Again, as it depends on real-time user online data there is no fixed duration for Tinder Swipe Surges.<\/p>\r\n<p>It will last until there is an unusually high number of users are active on Tinder. This can mean minutes or even hours. In terms of frequency, it occurs once a week based on our personal experience.<\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Join_Tinder_Swipe_Surge\"><\/span>How to Join Tinder Swipe Surge?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p>You don\u2019t have to do anything extraordinary to join the Tinder Surge, just open and use the app. You will see a green Swipe Surge at the bottom of the profiles that indicates that Swipe Surge is on and the person is also online.<\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Natural_Boost_from_Swipe_Surge\"><\/span>Natural Boost from Swipe Surge<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p>As Tinder got more and more popular and the men-to-women ratio has worsened in the last couple of years, many men have been experiencing declining match numbers in Tinder. Even paid features such as <a href=\"https:\/\/boostmatches.com\/tinder-boost\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Boost<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/boostmatches.com\/tinder-super-like\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Super Likes<\/a> do not guarantee the significant increase in match number as they used to. <a href=\"https:\/\/boostmatches.com\/tinder-super-boost\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Super Boost<\/a> is a feature that can still do that but is a very expensive premium feature.<\/p>\r\n<p>In the era of very crowded Tinder, <a href=\"https:\/\/boostmatches.com\/tinder-hacks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Swipe Surge is great as it naturally gives profiles a boost in visibility,<\/a> who are participating in the Swipe Surge. And it is absolutely free.<\/p>\r\n<p>It is also a great move from Tinder to help the users who are actively using Tinder, as most of the other features such as <a href=\"https:\/\/boostmatches.com\/tinder-gold\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Top Picks<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/boostmatches.com\/tinder-see-who-likes-you\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">See who Likes you<\/a> were <a href=\"https:\/\/boostmatches.com\/tinder-gold\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Gold features<\/a> that made Tinder easier to match, but also made Tinder a less actively used app. This can also help to make the userbase a little more active.<\/p>\r\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-120\" src=\"https:\/\/boostmatches.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/tinder-swipe-surge-3.png\" alt=\"Swipe Surge Badge\" width=\"245\" height=\"336\" srcset=\"https:\/\/boostmatches.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/tinder-swipe-surge-3.png 245w, https:\/\/boostmatches.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/tinder-swipe-surge-3-219x300.png 219w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 245px) 100vw, 245px\" \/><\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Get_More_Matches_During_A_Swipe_Surge\"><\/span>How To Get More Matches During A Swipe Surge?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p>The great thing about Swipe Surge that it brings back the good ol\u2019 times of Tinder when girls and guys were pretty active on tinder. And in the good old days, you didn\u2019t have to use any special tactics such as Boost, Super Boost or Super Likes to get the visibility you wanted, as Tinder hasn\u2019t been so crowded yet.<\/p>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"To_make_the_most_out_of_the_Swipe_Surge\"><\/span>To make the most out of the Swipe Surge:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<ol>\r\n<li>Turn on notifications for Tinder and use the app when there is a Swipe Surge.<\/li>\r\n<li>If there is an event in the neighborhood that caused the Swipe Surge like a concert or game, then add something related to it in your bio, to stand out from the crowd.<\/li>\r\n<li>If you have a match, send the first message right away. As Swipe Surge badge indicates that he or she is online you will more likely to get a response back and will be able to start a meaningful conversation.<\/li>\r\n<li>If you have a Boost, use it now as the <a href=\"https:\/\/boostmatches.com\/best-time-tinder-boost\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">best time to use a Tinder Boost<\/a> or Super Boost when most people are using Tinder actively<\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/boostmatches.com\/tinder-super-like\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Super Likes<\/a> might still help. Although they are not necessary, as we said you will get a natural boost from participating in Tinder Swipe Surge. Super Likes can still help even more, as they will indicate that you have a special attraction to a potential match<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Swipe_Surge_to_increase_active_Tinder_users\"><\/span>Swipe Surge to increase active Tinder users<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p>All in all, a great feature from Tinder that brings back the golden days of Tinder to the 2020s. It is also a great move for Tinder from a business perspective. As you can only be notified about a Swipe Surge in your neighborhood with a notification, it helps Tinder convincing more people to enable Tinder push notifications.<\/p>\r\n<p>And since notifications always boost user activity, more people will be active on Tinder which usually equals <a href=\"https:\/\/boostmatches.com\/tinder-statistics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">more money for the company<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tinder_Swipe_Surge_FAQ\"><\/span>Tinder Swipe Surge FAQ<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\">\n<div class=\"rank-math-list \">\n<div id=\"faq-question-1592548639328\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Know_When_Is_a_Swipe_Surge_on_Tinder\"><\/span>How To Know When Is a Swipe Surge on Tinder?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>There is no fixed time for Swipe Surges.
