That’s right – the profiles may turn invisible for some time. It happens for a variety of reasons – the charge on the phone may wear off, making geolocation not function properly, or the user may plainly set themselves to be invisible (it’s an option for those who pay).
Besides charge wearing off, there are actually tons of reasons why signal could die, like the bad connection, glitch, or just person turning geolocation off for some time (which makes you pretty much invisible without paying, since you can’t use the app). Start texting, when you’ve seen that one of these profiles is to your liking.
Of course, you can’t spend too much time waiting for more users to show up, that’s why you needn’t wait more than a few days.
Notifications
Not only that, but there is also a feature that continuously brings up people closest to you geographically. The notification occasionally pops up to praise you for meeting another user out of the Net.
It’s ridiculous since it starts bringing people up on the first day even though you might not even get out of your house that day, much less see someone from Badoo. It’s really unclear if geolocation is broken that way or if the developers like to remind you that there are women very close to you on purpose.
Anyhow, if you don’t want to get possible matches every other hour, you better turn off the notifications for this app. But there’s really no sense in doing it for you if what you look for is the quickest way to get laid in some foreign place.
Verification
There’s actually a fair way to make your way to the top of the list without pay-off the developers. All you need to do is verify your account in two ways.
First, you need to confirm your identity by receiving an email on the address that you’ve put in while signing-up. Just click on the link in the email, it’s a standard procedure that will give you something like a certificate of approval.
Then, you also need to confirm that you are a real living person by making a photo of yourself in a pose you’re shown. The picture won’t be used for anything, don’t you worry about it.
After everything is done, you may or may not get a verification that looks like a white tick in a blue circle. When someone sees that, they will know that you are a real deal and not a bot.
Setting your profile up
It’s not the only way, of course, to let people know that you’re serious about getting a relationship and that you don’t have much 
to hide. Back in a day, dating websites were notorious for housing loads of people with fake or photoshoped images of themselves.
Well, it doesn’t work now, nor can you avoid posting your photos. You can only put your own pictures in a profile (or, well, at least a person’s photos, but you’ll get banned if they know it’s not you). Additionally, the more pictures you put in your profile, the more likely you are to appear in people’s recommendations.
Moreover, the Badoo community is pretty huge, obviously. So, there’s a lot of competition. What it means for you is that you need to publish as many good photos of yourself as possible to draw attention and interest.
The private information
As you may recall, while searching for the best matches, you eters (and maybe purposefully filtering them in). It actually applies to you as well, if not for those who may be looking for you, then for those whom you’ve given your sympathy already.
