O Bumble is a dating app available for download both in App Store as in Google Play, ideal for those who want to meet new people in a modern, safe way that focuses on female empowerment. You can download it below and start using it in just a few minutes.
Bumble
What is Bumble?
Bumble is a dating app created in 2014 by Whitney Wolfe Herd, former co-founder of Tinder. The app's main purpose is to empower women by giving them control over the first interaction in heterosexual conversations. This means that, after a match, only the woman can send the first message—an innovative approach that has won over millions of users.
In addition to romantic relationships, Bumble also offers options for making friends (BFF mode) or expanding your professional network (Bizz mode), which makes it more versatile than many competitors.
With a modern design, secure features, and a concept that values respect, Bumble has been growing worldwide and establishing itself as a more conscious alternative for meeting people.
How does Bumble work?
Bumble works quite similarly to other apps of its kind: you swipe right if you like someone and left if you're not interested. When there's a match—that is, when two people like each other—there's a 24-hour window for the woman to send the first message (in the case of heterosexual pairings).
If the message isn't sent within this timeframe, the match expires, which encourages faster, more engaging interactions. In the case of same-sex couples, either party can initiate the conversation.
Bumble also offers profile verification by photo, which increases security and reduces the number of fake profiles. Another difference is the medals and interests, which lets you display hobbies, signs, religion, lifestyle, pets, and more — making it easier to connect with compatible people.
Profile creation
When signing up for Bumble, users can use their Facebook account, mobile number, or Apple ID. The app will ask for basic information such as name, age, location, and photos. You can add up to six photos to your profile, write a bio, and choose several tags to describe your personality.
The app also allows you to connect to Instagram and Spotify, allowing you to display your favorite music and photos directly on your profile. This enriches your information and helps demonstrate more authenticity and lifestyle.
To the quick questions (prompts) are also an attraction: you can answer questions like “What am I looking for in a partner?” or “My idea of a perfect date is…”, making your profile more attractive and interactive.
Bumble Modes: Date, BFF, and Bizz
One of Bumble's biggest differentiators is offering three modes of use within the same application:
- Bumble Date: traditional, aimed at flirting, dating and romantic relationships.
- Bumble BFF: ideal for making new friends, whether in a new city or through affinities.
- Bumble Bizz: aimed at professional networking, similar to LinkedIn, but with a more informal touch.
These modes can be easily toggled within the app, making Bumble much more than just a dating app.
