We’ve found that this leads to more confident connections,” Stith says. “The ephemeral nature of the app means you’ll have less time to sit on your hands and will really be presented with a small amount of time to decide who you really want to talk to. Jennifer Stith, the VP of communications and brand development over at Bumble, tells Bustle that the whole purpose of the app is to encourage you to say something. But if you wait too long, your matches will disappear. One of the best things about Bumble is that you are the one who can start the conversation as you choose. Not Talking With Your Matches As Soon As You Get Them
To give you an idea of what to avoid doing, here are a few mistakes most of us are guilty of on Bumble. Just like anything else, if you want to meet someone high quality, then it will require thoughtfully engaging people on the app, in a timely manner." However, this isn't going to lead to meeting a great person. "Unfortunately, many people view Bumble and other dating apps as something to do to waste time. "Some research shows that a lot of people get on dating apps for weird reasons: attention, wasting time, ego boosts, etc.," Bennett says. Similarly, David Bennett, dating expert and founder of Double Trust Dating tells Bustle it's important to take swiping through Bumble seriously. So you shouldn't be using it just like you use Tinder, even if all the swiping makes you feel as though the two are similar. Yes, the two are very similar, but the app was specifically created by Wolfe, Tinder's co-founder, to give people who identify as women a dating platform of respect and autonomy.
One of the most obvious? Treating Bumble like it's Tinder. (Bonus: It also boasts a female founder, Whitney Wolfe, who was an executive at Tinder before launching Bumble.)īut like most dating apps, there are still plenty of mistakes to be made when swiping along. For women seeking other people who identify as women on the app, either person has 24 hours to make the first move or that connection will disappear, too. You're still meant to swipe left or right, but if you match with another person, it's up to you to message them within 24 hours, or else the match disappears (and poof, no more chance to talk!). Unlike Tinder, Bumble allows women to have more power when it comes to their matches. That’s it folks! Taking a screenshot of content on Bumble won’t get you in trouble, and Bumble will NOT NOTify the other party if you take a screenshot.Bumble, which by many has been labeled “ The Feminist Tinder,” is not only one of my personal favorite dating apps, but it's also one of the best downloads for single people who identify as women. This applies to Bumble users and non-Bumble users, as any information in the app can be captured and sent to someone else. Make sure what you put out sends the message of what you’re looking for.Īs the company states in its privacy policy, you should only post content that you allow everyone to see. No judgment, but some people seek relationships that will last a lifetime, while others seek short-term interactions. As if flirting wasn’t weird enough these days, think about what you’re looking for when creating a profile, uploading a picture, or sending a message to another user. It’s also not a place to post compromising photos, seriously, if someone asks you for a photo you probably won’t like it that much.īefore you hit the Publish button, consider the content and the underlying message you’re sending. As mentioned earlier, Bumble is probably not the best place to admit to major crimes. Unless you’re going to send a photo of something to another user, don’t let it be a screenshot in the first place. Regardless of privacy settings, there are things to consider when using dating apps like Bumble. When using any dating app, social media site or other technology Once on the internet it’s there forever (technically). Essentially, you’re already in control of how much data you share, regardless of anything app developers create. It is often said that the human element is the real issue with online privacy. As with the pictures, getting a friend on board to help you raise red flags and play devil’s advocate is a viable tactic for weeding out unwanted matches, so as long as you respect the privacy of everyone on the platform, screenshotting messages would be perfect. You can take screenshots of your personal messaging history with someone however you want, as long as you don’t take the screenshot to commit fraud or other crime. What about Private Interviews?ĭoes Bumble notify users when you take a screenshot of private conversations? Think twice before sharing this deeply personal story with your new spouse. But remember that other people can do the same to you.
