Want to get noticed faster on Oolfa? The Boost feature gives your profile top placement on the Explore screen, increasing your visibility and helping you connect with more potential matches, especially those nearby and recently active. Whether you’re new to the app or just want to increase engagement, Boost puts your profile in the spotlight for a limited time.
In this article, you’ll learn what a Boost is, how it works, when to use it, and what to keep in mind before activating one.
What Is a Boost?
A Boost is a paid feature that temporarily promotes your profile, pushing it to the top of the Explore screen for one full hour. During that time, your profile is shown ahead of others, making it more likely to be viewed and liked.
Boost is available to all users (not just Gold members) and works even if you’re offline once activated.
How Boosts Work
- Your profile is promoted above non-boosted profiles on the Explore screen.
- Boost is available regardless of your Oolfa Gold status.
- You can only activate one Boost at a time — they don’t stack.
- Boost runs for 1 hour from the moment you activate it.
🔒 Important: If you are in Incognito Mode, you will not be able to use Boost. Turn off Incognito Mode before activating a Boost.
Who Sees My Boosted Profile?
While your Boost is active, your profile appears more prominently to users who:
- Are located near you
- Have been recently active
To increase your chances of getting noticed:
- Unblur your album photos — this greatly improves engagement
- Complete your profile fully with thoughtful answers and accurate details
Buying and Using Boosts
Boosts are not included in Oolfa Gold and must be purchased separately. You can buy them in bundles and use them whenever you like.
How to Buy Boosts:
- Log in to your Oolfa account and go to the Account screen.
- Tap Get More in the Boosts box to open the Boosts paywall.
- Select your preferred bundle — 1, 5, or 10 Boosts.
- Confirm payment through the App Store (iPhone) or Google Play (Android).
How to Use a Boost:
- From your Account screen, tap on the Boost button.
- A timer will appear showing how much time remains on your active Boost.
⚠️ Note: Boosts are non-restorable. If you delete your Oolfa profile, any unused Boosts are permanently lost and cannot be transferred to a new or reactivated account.
Best Times to Use a Boost
To get the most out of each Boost, consider these tips:
- Activate during peak usage times (evenings and weekends).
- Use a Boost after completing your profile.
- Unblur your images to improve visibility and increase likes.
Boost works best when your profile is complete, current, and clearly visible.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use multiple Boosts in a row?
No. You can only activate one Boost at a time. Wait for the current one to end before starting a new one.
Do I need to be active during the Boost?
No. Your Boost runs for one hour even if you’re not actively using the app during that time.
Why can’t I activate Boost?
Check if you’re in Incognito Mode. You must disable Incognito Mode first to activate Boost.
Final Thoughts
Boost is a great way to make your profile stand out — especially if you’re serious about finding the right partner. With just one tap, you can increase your chances of being seen, liked, and matched.
