When Tinder released Smart Photos, a feature that tests your photos to increase matches, they also released an API endpoint with some very interesting data, notably “Success Rate” for each of your photos - also returning this data back in the response from the Tinder profile endpoint. You’ll notice it send back a successRate
for some (or all) of your photos if you have the feature enabled.
Exactly what successRate
represents is a mystery, but one would guess that a higher number means a photo is more successful in being liked. As of this post, my main photo featured below has a success rate of 0.04081632653061224
. If we assume this means 4%, then this mean only 4% of women find this photo attractive enough to swipe right? That’s a low number!
The response also contains a field called photo_optimizer_has_result
that is false
for my account. This probably means that Tinder hasn’t tested all of my photos yet, as I only see the success rate for my first photo. Results may vary with your account.
