I don't know how it works for wormen.
For men, if you're very attractive with a solid profile and good pictures, someone who gets a lot of right swipes, the apps will prioritize your profile and show it to more and more people.
Once you get a few hundred right swipes or 100+ matches in less than 24h, the app will initiate an identity check where you have to submit a selfie with your ID and an actual human checks if you're really the person on the pictures. You're not able to do anything else on the app until you complete the ID process.
