About Bumble
Bumble is a dating app and site which puts women in control of the dating scene. The former Tinder executive launched Bumble in 2014. The app got a massive boost in popularity when it introduced BFF mode. It is now available worldwide and boasts more than 23 million users with an average of 12,500 swipes per second at peak times.
How To Create A Bumble Account?
To join Bumble, you have two options: either download the app for free on your iOS or Android device and create a profile or simply go to the web page (bumble.com) and start filling in your information. Here, we will discuss both of the methods below.
Create Bumble Account Using The Bumble App
Bumble has its own app where you can create an account quickly. The procedure is straightforward. What you need to do is follow the steps given below:
Step 1: Download Bumble On Your iOS Or Android Device.
Get started with Bumble by downloading the Bumble app on your device from AppStore or Google Play, depending upon your device.
Step 2: Select “Continue With Apple” Or “Sign Up With Facebook” Or “Use Mobile Number.”
Now, it’s time to select your sign-up option. You can either use your Facebook account or use your mobile number to create a Bumble profile and enjoy their app’s dating service.
If you select “Sign up with Facebook,” you can use your Facebook login info to sign up, but if you want a more private experience, then select “Use Mobile Number” and enter your phone number.
Step 3: Verify Your Phone Number
After selecting the option of signing in with either your mobile number or Facebook account, Bumble will send a verification code on that specific platform (mobile number or Facebook), which you will need to enter to proceed.
Step 4: Enter Your First Name And Add Two Photos
You can now add your name, birthday and select the age range of people that interest you. Also, take this time to upload two photos of yourself from your camera roll, or you can choose images from the Bumble image galleries.
Step 5: Select Your Gender
Here you will select your gender, either male or female, and after that, click “Next.” So, for example, if you want to search for both men and women, then just tap on the toggle switch next to “I am interested in man and woman.”
Step 6: BFF or Dating Mode
Now, you will be prompted to choose between BFF mode and Dating Mode. If you want a friendship-only experience, then select “Bumble BFF,” or if you are interested in finding your perfect dating partner, then tap on “Date.”
Step 7: Add Your Recovery Email Address
Bumble only allows you to have one active account at a time, so in order to prevent people from signing up with your email and using it for their own profile, the app prompts you to add an additional recovery email address. The recovery address is also necessary in case you forget your password. Bumble also sends emails to this address, but you can choose to disable them if necessary.
Step 8: Answer The Questions Prompted.
Now, Bumble will ask you a few questions regarding your interests and preferences. You can skip them if you want or answer them to get a quick idea of who would interest you on the app and who wouldn’t be your type.
Step 9: Agree To The Terms and Policies
Finally, you will have to agree to the terms and privacy policies of Bumble.
Create Bumble Account On The Web Page(Bumble.com)
If you are not a fan of using apps, register for an account by going directly to bumle.com—simply click here or visit it in your browser window. The process is also straightforward and simple.
Below is a step-wise guide on how to sign up using the web page.
- Open a browser and visit bumble.com.
- Choose the yellow “Join” button on your screen.
- Now, select the login method i.e. either “using your Facebook” or “phone number.“
- After choosing your preferred login method, enter all of your details and set up a password for either your email or mobile number account (depending upon which option you chose in step 3).
- Now, add some pictures from Bumble’s image gallery by clicking on “Choose Photos” button. You can also upload pictures from your camera roll.
- Optional: You can also enter “About Me” section to share details about yourself with the world.
- Now, you will be prompted for few questions regarding your preferences and interests in order to find your perfect match more easily on Bumble. These questions are optional but they would help other people know more about you.
- Finally, after adding all of your details and providing complete information to Bumble; click on “Done” button at the bottom or press “Enter.” You will now be directed to your profile where you can edit some settings like age range etc.
And this is how you can create a Bumble account on the web page.
Working Of Bumble Algorithm
The exact algorithm of Bumble is still a mystery. However, it is believed that the dating app uses an algorithm that helps identify more compatible people by taking into account details like shared interests, location, and common friends for potential matches. Teaming up with Facebook, the app also uses some data from your profile to make a match.
When a user opens the app, it shows them potential matches in the form of “Bubbles.” The person swipes right to like a potential match and left to reject one. In case both persons swipe right, they are matched with each other and can begin chatting over the app or site itself.
In Bumble, the woman must message the man first. This reduces the number of unwanted messages. In addition, the Bumble algorithm ensures that the woman is not bombarded with messages. Once she makes the first move, it will show her profiles of men who have already liked her too; thus eliminating any spam or miscommunication.
I personally love Bumble and recommend it to all my friends. It is effortless to use; the profiles are super-cute (I am a sucker for good profile pictures), there are no inappropriate or bad vibes in this app at all!
Is Bumble Only For Dating?
I know some of you think that Bumble is only for dating. Well, you are wrong! Most people use Bumble to find potential partners, but it is not the only thing you can do on this app. You will be surprised to know that people use Bumble to network, meet new friends and even job hunt.
Bumble has a BFF feature that can be used for making friends. It lets you swipe through profiles of people who are looking to make new friends in your area and connects two users if both like each other’s profile!
Bumble Bizz is another great feature on the app that allows you to connect with like-minded professionals. It is especially useful for job hunters who are looking to find their dream career, make new connections and land the perfect first impression on potential employers.
So, Bumble is definitely not only for dating. You can use this app for networking, making friends, and even finding a job!
Paid Bumble Versions
Bumble is a free dating app. But it also has two paid versions that you can opt for:
-Bumble Premium
-Bumble Boost
Let’s discuss what these paid versions of Bumble offer and whether you should pay for them:
Bumble Boost
Let’s start with the Bumble Boost; Bumble Boost is perfect for those who want to get more matches in less time. It is a paid Bumble version and is the best fit for the people who would like to buy some more time for themselves and enhance their experience.
Sometimes, what happens is you get super busy and lose potential matches because of the 24-hour time limit. Well, Bumble Boost will help you get more time to meet new people and expand your network by giving you up to 24 hours of unlimited swipes!
Let’s have a look at the features of Bumble Boost:
- You can match again with the connections that were expired.
- Extend your time limit by extra 24 hours
- Backtrack on potential matches that you have missed out on
- You can get unlimited swipes.
- Spotlight feature: when you turn on this feature, the app will only show your profile to other users if they have already liked you.
- 5 super swipes in a week: the feature allows you to swipe through profiles of people who have already liked your profile and connect with them if you want.
But What Does Bumble Premium Offer?
Like Bumble Boost, Bumble Premium is the paid version of Bumble that gives you access to a few extra features. For example, you can make your profile stand out from the crowd by adding an “About Me” section, uploading multiple photos and videos & Super Swipes!
Here are the features of Bumble Premium:
- Access to advanced features
- Unlimited Swipes
- Access to Beeline feature
- BackTrack
- Travel Mode
- Extra power moves(jumping to the front of the line)
- Unlimited likes and undo a left swipe.
- Rematch with expired connections
- The ability to change your username and password.
- Incognito mode to hide your profile from friends.
You can switch to the Bumble version of your choice by analyzing the features you would like and the price of each performance. Both of the Bumble versions are worth buying and can give you an enriching experience.
I personally use Bumble Premium and have found it quite helpful. I like that it has some great features for helping me out and unlimited swipes are a great advantage. However, I have never used the Beeline feature, so I cannot comment on that.
However, I have heard a lot of good reviews about Bumble Boost too. So I guess it all comes down to personal preference and what you would like out of the app.
