Bumble Review March 2020

The coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) severely restricts our social life as we know it. In particular, it is currently no longer possible to get to know someone in "offline life". However, Bumble and other dating sites still remain as an option! The desire for love, a new partner or some fun remains with many singles. Especially if we think about the next weeks, the yearning for closeness is growing for many and there is a curfew in many places. Despite all of this, online dating is the safest way to still get to know someone, chat or have video chats.Therefore, no single has to be afraid of loneliness - many like-minded people are waiting for you online!Unfortunately we keep hearing that singles meet, although social contacts are officially restricted. Please keep yourself informed about the legal situation in your area and comply with the prescribed rules.Always keep in mind: there is also a time after the corona crisis! What could be nicer than finally having a date when everyone can get out again? In addition, many dating sites currently have particularly great discounts and promotions due to the corona crisis. That is why you should definitely take a look at Bumble - time will pass by much faster if you ride the quarantine out with somebody on your (digital) side. Maybe right now the right person is waiting for you to write the first message?

The signup process is very easy, especially if you already have a Facebook account. You don't even need to provide any information, because Bumble takes all of your Facebook info and imports it into the app. Before you can't sign up if you don't have a Facebook account and predictably, a lot of potential users complained about this. Bumble has since then changed their rules and now you can sign up using your phone number.

You can either use your Facebook account or your phone number to create an account. It is going to ask for your location which you will need to set on your phone's location settings.

Location is needed so that Bumble can show you who is nearby and provide you a match within your vicinity. A profile photo is also required to finish the registration process.

Overall, the registration process is smooth and easy to accomplish.

Bumble's contact policy is what differentiates it from other dating apps like Tinder.

With Bumble, women initiate the conversation. Similar to Tinder's interface, you will be shown match suggestions, and you swipe left if you're not interested and swipe right if you are. If they also swiped right, women will see that a match has been made. Now she has 24 hours to message the man if she's interested. If she messages him, he now has another 24 hours to message her back. If he replies to her message, then they can continue with their conversation freely without any restrictions.

For same-sex relationships or platonic relationships, any of the 2 parties can message first, which the other party should reply to before the conversation can be continued freely. The 24-hour time frame applies here too. If this feels limiting to you and you want a messaging feature with more freedom, check out our Casual Dating category.

Bumble profiles are free to access. It has photos and other related information inside that helps out if you want to get to know a person more.

Bumble will take most of the profile information from Facebook for members who created their account there. On the other hand, members who chose to create the account using their phone numbers, they will have to input manually some of the information.

Overall, the profile can be a good start if you want to have a feel of whether you will hit it off with a member or not.
