 Females initiate the conversation, isn’t this nice? So, boys all around the globe using this dating app can feel a tad privileged.

 Some statistics- 

Speaking about Bumble, it is one of the most popular apps in dating history. The foundation was laid by a co-founder of another dating app called tinder. 

  • It has around 55 million active users in more than 150 countries. 
  • Bumble users spend more than 62 minutes on this app.

With the above statistics, you can easily create an app. And, for the same purpose, to help you with the aforementioned there are a plethora of off shore app developers in India.

How Does a Bumble Dating App Work?

As compared to the various other dating apps, the algorithm of the Bumble app is pretty simple. And, you can read the following points to take note of how the app functions- 

– All the users that you have swiped right will appear on the top of the screen. 

– It does not take notes of how you swipe and your preferred patterns of swiping right or left it showcases all the profiles that may match your interest.

– In case you need a break from all the matchmaking you can do so by pausing your account. 

Once you know how the app works and its algorithms, the next important point that needs our immediate attention is the set of features the app incorporates- 

  • Log in:

The first and foremost step we need to take care of before creating a bumble profile & is to log in to your Bumble account. 

  • Profile:

 You can add your pictures and quotes that describe you the best. Or if you have an entire portfolio to showcase, you can do so by connecting the app with your Instagram. The profile is where you can add your age, name, the purpose of being on Bumble, and location.

  • Location:

Bumble is an online matchmaking or dating site which allows the app makers to provide you with the most suitable matches based on the location proximity. The best part is that, though it is a sort of online dating, if your connection is in real vicinity you can meet them in real life too.

  • Discovery settings:

It is one of the unique features. If your profile is not visible to Bumble users it is of no use. You can further set the discovery settings based on the age, sex & distance factors.

  • You are all set, just Swipe:

 You will see the potential profile of the matches and hence if you find them appealing enough, swipe right. And, if not, then you can swipe left.

  • Real-time messaging:

It is yet another feature of the app. Once you both are super-swiped and communicating, you can text and connect. And, who knows! If things turn out to be better, you guys can meet in real life too. 

  • Normal calls and video callings:

    The best part about bumble chat is that you can call or video chat with them. The calls are unlimited, and therefore, you can video call them no matter the time or frequency of calls. 

  • Backtrack:

Bumble launched another unique feature in this dating app version. And, it was if you swiped left accidentally then you can undo that. But, to our disappointment, it is available only for the likes of premium users. 

  • Spotlight:

It includes that your profile will be highlighted and made visible to all the singles or your matches at just a minimum amount of cost. 

  • Superswipe:

 How do you tell a person that you are more than impressed in their profile? You can opt for the feature- super swipe. You can notify the person by tapping on the heart icon on their profile. 

  • Bumble Bizz & Bumble BFF:

This feature makes Bumble more distinguishable than the rest of the dating apps. It lets you find a new friend or make business connections. 

App Development Process:
