Every Bumble user can extend one match a day for extra 24 hours, but Bumble users with a Bumble premium subscription can extend as many matches as they want. Once both matched people reply to each other within the countdown, the time limits are removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bumble Isn't Only For Dating; It Has Three Modes:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
When you set up your dating profile, you\u2019ll be asked how you want to use Bumble. There are three options: dating, finding friends, or networking. <\/p>\n\n\n

How Does Bumble's Algorithm Works?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Just like any other dating app, Bumble didn't put out any statement on the working of the algorithm. However, based on certain patterns, tech nerds have noticed a few things about Bumble Algorithm<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- The most right-swiped or popular profiles are shown first for maximum exposure.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- People who already liked your profile tend to show up early in the profiles queue.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- If you obsessively swipe right, then your Bumble profile gets punished in terms of visibility.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Even if you don't use Bumble for weeks or months, your profile will continue to show up in the Bumble match queue.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Bumble algo doesn't seem to keep a record of your liking patterns. Hence, you will notice the diversity in the profiles.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
How to Set up Your Profile On Bumble?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Swiping up on a bumble profile will give you more information about the potential match like their bio, their prompt answers, height, sexuality, and their location. That way, you can make an informed decision based on something other than physical appearance (ahem). <\/p>\n\n\n
\n![\"setting](\"https:\/\/datingxp.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/setting-up-bumble-account-1024x618.png\")
You Can Upload up to 6 Bumble Photos on Your Bumble Profile<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n Setting up your profile on Bumble is pretty simple too. The first step is to add a photo. Bumble recommends you add one that is of just you\u2014no exes, bros, family members, etc. You have three different options here. You can take a selfie (if you\u2019ve got your game face on), add a photo from your camera, or upload a pic from Facebook. Done and done. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
After you add that first picture, you have the option to add five others if you wish. If not, just click \u201cContinue.\u201d You can always come back and add later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
After the photo sesh, the app will then prompt you to introduce yourself. You\u2019ll need to enter the following tidbits of info: Gender, Date of Birth, and First Name<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next, you\u2019ll be asked to enter an email address for recovery purposes\u2014you know, for when you forget your password. Speaking of passwords, you\u2019ll create one of those in the next step. Try to remember it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here are some Bumble profile tips<\/a> for your photos:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Avoid group photos for the first picture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Have a full-body photo for your first picture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- If you're a full-body photo of you smiling then upload it as well.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

- About Me & Basic Information<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
To create a complete Bumble profile (which we recommend to get more matches), you\u2019ll need to divulge some more basic information. <\/p>\n\n\n
\n![\"bumble](\"https:\/\/datingxp.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/bumble-basic-info-489x1024.jpg\")
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nShow your interests in your Bumble profile to make your profile more interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n![\"bumble](\"https:\/\/datingxp.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Bumble-interests-489x1024.jpg\")
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nYou should definitely fill out the \u201cAbout Me\u201d section, but make it count because you have a 300-character limit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After that, the rest is a no-brainer. Just answer some simple questions (Bumble Prompts<\/a>) that they ask.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n![\"bumble](\"https:\/\/datingxp.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Bumble-Prompts-489x1024.jpg\")
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nYou can skip any or all of these questions. However, Bumble itself says the more information (and photos!) you put on the app, the more likely you are to find matches, though, so don\u2019t neglect this step in the process of setting up your Bumble account. You can thank us later!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
PRO TIP:<\/strong> You\u2019ll also want to add your work and education information because\u2014well, no one likes a freeloader! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Best Bumble Bios For Guys & Girls<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Connect Instagram & Spotify<\/strong> Account<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
In addition to connecting your Facebook account (if you wish), you\u2019ll also have the option to connect your Instagram and Spotify accounts to Bumble. Doing so is simple. Just click, enter your password, and verify. <\/p>\n\n\n
\n![\"connect](\"https:\/\/datingxp.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Bumble-instagram-spotify-connection-838x1024.jpg\")
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n- \n
- Connecting your Instagram will add your latest posts to your profile. Your username won\u2019t be visible.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Connect your Spotify will show top artists based on your streams on Spotify.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
How Do You Start a Conversation on Bumble?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
To start a conversation, women make the first move; they send a message first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How you proceed after that depends on whether you identify as a man or a woman. If you\u2019re a woman, then you can feel free to swipe away and message anyone on the app that catches your interest at any time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The ball is yours, and the court is open! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the other hand, if you\u2019re a man, you\u2019ll need to be patient. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can swipe to your heart\u2019s content, but you have to wait to be messaged. Yes, that\u2019s right. The app won\u2019t let you send the first message if you\u2019re a dude. This is what makes Bumble different from other dating apps\u2014women are in control of the game! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s important to note that these messaging rules don\u2019t apply to same-sex matches. In these cases, either user can make the first move.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What's Bumble Time Limit?<\/h3>\n\n\n
\n![\"bumble](\"https:\/\/datingxp.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/bumble-match-expiry-day-24-hours-1024x500.png\")
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nIf your Match doesn\u2019t respond within 24 hours, the conversation is deleted and the match expires. This is Bumble\u2019s attempt to end ghosting<\/a>, which is admittedly super annoying.\u00a0However, if you don't have time to use Bumble daily, then you can use Bumble's premium “busy bee” feature that allows you to extend the match time limit with expired matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Is Bumble Free?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Yes, bumble is a free-to-use dating app. You can match and message each other for free. However, Bumble offers premium subscriptions to Bumble users which provide extra perks that I'll cover next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What's Bumble Premium?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
It is an upgrade from the Bumble boost subscription. In addition to boost's feature, you also get other useful features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Access to unlimited Advanced filters:<\/strong> This is a great feature for those who live in big cities and have a stacked-up Bumble match queue. By applying multiple filters you can filter matches based on your personal criteria like religion, region, education, pets, e.t.c<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Access to your Bumble Beeline so you can see your admirers:<\/strong> It allows you to see people who right-swiped on you. Hence, allowing you to instantly get a match.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Travel mode:<\/strong> This mode lets you change your location to whatever location (Worldwide) you desire.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
What's Bumble Boost?<\/h3>\n\n\n
\n![\"what's](\"https:\/\/datingxp.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Bumble-Boost-1024x404.png\")
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nBumble Boost<\/a> is Bumble\u2019s premium feature and it offers users some buzz-worthy advantages. These features allow you to get more matches and more meaningful connections. Some of these include:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- The ability to view users who have already swiped right on your profile with the Bumble beeline feature.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Get a second chance to chat to expired matches with Rematch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Ability to extend time on your current matches<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Bumble Backtrack to undo a left and right swipe.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Unlimited swipes<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- One Spotlight per week<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- 5 SuperSwipes per week <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
There are several ways to pay for Bumble Boost, including a lifetime subscription for about $140! The most popular payment schedule is the weekly one for $8.99, though. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Inside Scoop:<\/strong> Is Bumble boost worth it?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
What's Backtracking in Bumble?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Another unique feature of Bumble is the ability to backtrack when you make a mistake or change your mind. If you accidentally swipe right when you meant to swipe left, for instance, you can just shake your phone for an instant redo. If only we could have real-life backtracks as well, right?! You only get 3 backtracks at a time, so use them sparingly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What are Bumble Coins?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Bumble coins are basically in-app currency. You can buy 30 coins for around $35<\/strong> and use them to buy app advantages such as the Spotlight feature, which will show your profile to more users. Specifically, two coins will buy 30 minutes of premium profile placement. You can also use Bumble coins to purchase a Bumble SuperSwipe<\/a>, which lets another user know you\u2019re \u201csuper\u201d interested! A SuperSwipe will cost you a single Bumble Coin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Go Ahead, Try It! <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bumble is a good dating app to start dating online. We highly recommend you give it a try. If you\u2019re female, you\u2019ll probably like the added control of being the only one able to initiate the conversation. Plus, you\u2019re also a lot less likely to be harassed or crept on than if you make a match on Tinder. Happy bumbling!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
