Seeing who likes you on OkCupid, or rather not being able to see this, is a feature disliked by people who use the application for free. This feature, which is used as a paid service, usually doesn’t work that well anyway. Therefore, users wonder how to perform the process of seeing who likes them on OkCupid for free. This article contains some tips to help you with this.
What is OkCupid?
OkCupid is a dating application that uses a combination of algorithm-based matching and user-generated questions to find potential matches. Being one of the first dating sites to use a mathematical matching system to match users, OkCupid has gained a reputation as a very effective platform for people looking for relationships. Users create a profile with information about themselves and what they are looking for in a partner. Then, the site uses this data to suggest matches based on compatibility. You can use OkCupid via a website and mobile application.
How Do Likes Work on OkCupid?
Your likes on OkCupid are a way to show interest in someone. When you like someone on the platform, they receive a notification stating this. Then, if they like you too, both of you are matched.
Liking someone is the best way to start a conversation. When someone likes you, you will be sent a message stating they want to get to know you. When you like someone, a message indicating you want to know them better will be sent.
Additionally, when you like someone, they become visible in your Matches tab. This gives you the opportunity to check their profile and start a conversation. Thanks to this feature, you can quickly see who is interested in you and start a relationship.
Finally, OkCupid offers you a SuperLike feature. A SuperLike shows that you are specifically interested in someone. SuperLiking someone is the way to indicate that you want to get to know them better.
Methods to See OkCupid Likes
Seeing OkCupid Likes | Computer
You can see the steps below on how to see who liked you on OkCupid via the Chrome browser on your computer.
- Open the Chrome browser on your desktop computer and go to OkCupid.com.
- Click on the small star located at the top of the screen. There, you should see a number indicating how many profiles have liked you and that you haven’t swiped left or strictly swiped yet.
- From here, you can only see blurred photos. For this reason, first, right-click on the profile photo you want to unblur and select ‘Inspect’ (or Inspect Element).
- A window containing the website’s front-end code should have opened at the bottom or right of the screen. Click here, then search for blur and find the pixels.
- Reduce the pixel count to zero or leave it at a number close to zero. In this way, the blur in the photos will disappear, and you will be able to see all the profiles you liked on OkCupid for free with your phone.
- Doing this does not mean you will start chatting with the people whose photos you see, or you won’t be able to swipe them. However, you will be able to see the profiles that liked you without paying for an OkCupid subscription.
Seeing OkCupid Likes | Android
If you do not have a desktop computer and want to do this method from your phone, you can do it in almost the same way on Android phones.
The extra thing you need to do for these tips to work is to download an application that allows you to do the “inspect element” on your phone. You can do this with the application named Element Inspector – HTML Web, which you can get for free from the Google Play Store.
Now we can move on to the steps you need to take to see who likes you on OkCupid:
- Install the application mentioned above on your Android phone.
- Now open this application, go to your mobile browser, and type www.OkCupid.com in the address bar.
- Tap the small gold star at the top of the screen. If there is any number there, this means how many profiles that you haven’t swiped yet have liked you.
- For now, you can see the photos as blurred, so activate the Code element mode in the downloaded application.
- Just like on your desktop screen, a window containing the website’s front-end code will open at the bottom of your screen. Search for blur here and find the pixels.
- Leave the allocated pixel count as zero or close to zero. In this way, the photos will lose their blur, and you will see all OkCupid profiles that liked you.
