As for editing your profile, there’s not much info to include about yourself or customizations other than your work & education, what you’re here for, interests, and an ‘About Me’ section.
Features
The company has expressed the fact that they would rather call themselves a « social media network » than label themselves as a dating website.
One way they do this is with the ‘Live’ feature, where Badoo members can go live, and you’ll be happy to know that it’s mostly women going live.
By not having to wait for a mutual like to message somebody as you do on traditional dating apps, it helps take away the label and feel more like a social app.
There’s also a feature called « Lookalikes » where you can see who on Badoo resembles you. By clicking on their picture, you get a photo of your picture next to theirs that you can choose to share if you like.
Their ‘Encounters’ tab is just the place where you can swipe on people and choose your preferences in gender and age, and the ‘People nearby’ tab lets you explore the users closest to you.
Women get Badoo Premium features for free, perhaps in an effort to get more women to join, which I think has been working given the fact that more and more women are on the app every day.
