Bumble is a very popular dating app worldwide, just like Tinder. In fact, in most countries, the Bumble app has started to take the place of Tinder. Its ease of use, interface, and usage style make Bumble more popular day by day.
What is Bumble, How to Use It?
Actually, it would be wrong to define Bumble only as a dating app. This is because, in addition to this feature, Bumble has BFF (friendship-focused) and Bizz (business-focused) modes. As you can understand, after downloading the application, you can choose whichever of these modes you want and determine what kind of search you are in.
The most distinct feature that separates Bumble from other friendship/dating apps is that the woman starts the conversation first. In other words, after a match occurs, not just any party, but only women can start the conversation. However, there are some points that should not be missed. For example, when a match is made, the woman will have 24 hours to make the first move. If there is no move after this period, the match will be removed.
To use Bumble, you must first download the iOS or Android version of the application. Then you will see some instructions on the screen for setup. If we look at what these are in order:
- First, you must verify your profile.
- You can add your job, education, and a maximum of 6 photos.
- Filling out your biography is one of the important details for securing a match.
- Optionally, you can link your Instagram or Spotify account.
After performing these, you can use Bumble by selecting the mode you want, such as Date or BFF. You can learn what these modes are below.
Is Bumble Paid?
There is quite a lot of misunderstanding about Bumble modes. People seem to think that you can only find love or friends on Bumble when you spend money.
Bumble is a completely free dating app. You will be able to access all of these 3 modes by just completing the registration process with a few simple clicks.
The only thing you need to have to discover Bumble Date, Bumble BFF, or Bumble Bizz is a verified Bumble profile and the official Bumble app downloaded to your device.
You can access each of these modes without spending a single penny. However, if you want to improve your experience in the app and strengthen your profile, you can always get a Bumble Boost or Bumble Premium subscription.
This depends entirely on your preference. If you don’t need this and have no problem using the free version, you can always use the basic features.
What is Bumble Date?
There are three different modes in Bumble: Date, BFF, and Bizz.
Date mode is a mode preferred mostly by those who want to flirt or establish a relationship. In other words, users matched through this mode will communicate with each other for the same purpose.
BFF mode is the mode preferred by those who want to establish friendships. If you need a friend rather than serious relationships or flirting, you can choose the BFF mode.
Bizz mode serves a much different purpose than all of them. This mode, which allows people in business life to communicate with each other, has been created for those who want to establish friendships in line with their career.
In Bumble, you must use the classic right-left swipe actions to match/not match with candidate people with whom you can have a new flirtation or relationship via Date mode. If you like a person, you must swipe right to match. You become a match when the other person also swipes your profile to the right. However, it is necessary to remind again that only women can start the chat after the match. For the match not to disappear, the woman must start the chat within 24 hours at the latest. When you swipe a profile to the left, you eliminate your chance of matching with that person.
How to delete Bumble Date Mode?
If you have started a relationship, you can continue to use the application by deleting the Bumble Date mode. The steps you need to follow for this are:
- Open the Bumble app and go to Settings by tapping first on the profile icon in the bottom left corner, then on the gray gear in the top right corner.
- To disable Date mode, turn off the option next to Date Mode.
- When you tap this icon, you will see a message stating that your dating profile and all your connections will be permanently deleted.
- When you reactivate Date Mode, you will not be able to see your old conversations on your message screen. For this reason, we recommend that you take a screenshot of the conversations you consider special.
