Bumble looks familiar—but it doesn’t work exactly like the other swipey apps. Founded in 2014 by a (yes) ex-Tinder exec, it built its name on women making the first move and later added spinoffs for friends and networking. Fast-forward to now: Bumble has tweaked who can kick off chats (via Opening Moves), rolled out clearer “Liked You” views for paid plans, spun BFF into its own app, and is phasing out Bizz. With that context, let’s answer the big question everyone asks: can you see who you liked on Bumble? Short answer: still no.
TL;DR
- You still can’t see a list of people you’ve liked on Bumble. Matches appear only if they like you back.
- “Liked You” (Beeline) shows who liked you, but it’s a Premium/Premium+ feature (heart icon).
- Opening Moves lets women set a question so matches can respond first—easing the “women must always message” burden.
- Backtrack fixes accidental left swipes (paid feature). You can’t undo a right swipe; if it matches, just unmatch.
- BFF is now a standalone app;Bizz is being phased out globally.

Bumble both is and isn’t like other popular dating apps. The location-based app where women make the first move was founded by a possibly disgruntled ex-Tinder employee in 2014 and has gone from strength to strength since, including launching Bumble BFF (now a separate Bumble For Friends app) and, formerly, Bumble Bizz for networking. Today, BFF lives in its own app and Bizz is being phased out, as Bumble focuses on dating and friendship.
In 2025, Bumble reports 4.2 million paying users across its apps, and it remains one of the most-used dating platforms worldwide. That said, the app’s experience has evolved—especially around who speaks first and how you view likes.
And yet, if you’re used to Tinder, Hinge, or especially desktop dating sites, then the app can be a little confusing. One question that gets asked a lot is whether you can see who you have liked on Bumble.
That’s easy to answer: no, you can’t see who you liked on Bumble. There’s still no in-app list of every profile you’ve swiped right on. You’ll only see someone again if they also swipe right and you become a match. (Yes, it would be a convenient feature; no, Bumble hasn’t added it.)
After all, that would be an awful lot of profiles to list, and you can only contact users with whom you have matched. Tinder and others handle this differently, but Bumble keeps your outgoing likes private by design.
In fact, guys can only contact users with whom they’ve matched if those users make the first move—unless the woman has set an Opening Move (a prompt question). In that case, he can respond to her prompt first, which is Bumble’s way of easing the pressure on women while keeping them in control of the conversation start. Matches on Bumble are called connections, and the app is ostensibly way more about connecting than it is about swiping.

Can I See Who I Swiped Right On Bumble?
As swiping right is synonymous with liking, no, you can’t see who you swiped right on when you’re using Bumble. You’ll see them again if they swipe right too and you two are a connection. If not, then why waste time thinking about them? They’re clearly a fool. (Kidding. Sort of.)
Accidental Swipes On Bumble
Fear not, super swiper. Accidental left swipes can be corrected—tap the back arrow (Backtrack). Note that Backtrack is a paid feature (Boost/Premium/Premium+).
Possibly worse than an accidental swipe left is the dreaded accidental swipe right. This tends to happen when you see someone you know – say your ex, or the TA who teaches your college classes – and you’re having a good long nosy through their pics and profile.
You’re just trying to work out exactly which bar their profile picture was taken in, and if any of their friends are hot, and whoosh, off they go to the right.Unfortunately, there’s no undo for a right swipe. If you do match, you can simply unmatch. If you don’t match, it’ll just vanish into the ether like that text your brain told you not to send.
Do Guys Know When You Swipe Right On Them On Bumble?
This really depends. I mean, how rich is the guy and how much stock does he put in online dating?
Basically, Bumble Premium/Premium+ comes with a “Liked You” view (formerly called Beeline)—a separate feed of users who’ve already swiped right. If the guy you swiped right on is a paying member, you’ll be in that stack. Free users don’t see who liked them; they only see you if you appear again in their regular deck and they also swipe right.
Of course, whether and how quickly he notices you will depend on how popular he is and how much time he spends scrolling that Liked You feed.
Basically, don’t freak out if someone doesn’t swipe right back as soon as you’ve swiped right—if they’re a basic member they won’t know that you’ve liked them, and if they have Premium it might still take a while to get to your profile. Patience (and good photos) remains a virtue.
Quick 2025 Notes (So You’re Not Caught Off-Guard)
- Opening Moves: Women can set a prompt; matches can respond first to that prompt. It lightens the lift while preserving control.
- Bumble For Friends: BFF now lives in a standalone app focused on friend-finding and local communities.
- Bizz: Bumble is phasing out Bumble Bizz across countries; don’t be surprised if the toggle is gone.
- Scale: Bumble reported 4.2M paying users as of early 2025 and remains a top-tier dating app by usage.
FAQ
Does Bumble let me see a list of everyone I’ve liked?
No. Bumble doesn’t provide an outgoing likes list. You’ll only see someone if they like you back and you match.
How do I see who liked me on Bumble?
Tap the heart icon for Liked You. You’ll need Premium/Premium+ to see the full list (grid or blurred stack depending on plan).
Can men message first now?
In straight matches, women still control the opener—but with Opening Moves, she can set a question and the guy can respond first to that prompt. It keeps her in the driver’s seat without making her do all the typing.
Can I undo a right swipe?
No. Backtrack only reverses left swipes. If a right swipe turns into a match, you can unmatch or let it expire.
Where did Bumble BFF and Bizz go?
BFF is now a separate Bumble For Friends app. Bizz is being phased out globally, so the mode may no longer appear.
Any current numbers on Bumble’s size?
Bumble reported 4.2M paying users as of its 2024 results and continues to rank just behind Tinder and Hinge in U.S. activity.
