What is Bumble? We explain the popular dating app

The dating scene has reached a whole new dimension due to the Internet. Among the more popular services besides Tinder is Bumble. We explain what peculiarity the app aims to score with.

Role swapping? With Bumble, women have to make the first move.

There are also different approaches in online dating. Bumble starts with the first contact, because that's where the service differs from its competitors.

What is Bumble and how does it work?

The features of Bumble at a glance:

• On Bumble, only women can write the first message. Men can thus not start the contact.
• Prerequisite for this is a match. In this point, Bumble is no different from Tinder.
• There is, however, a time limit: contact must be made in the first 24 hours after the match, otherwise the match expires.
• The background to this system is the behavior that in online dating always causes trouble and disputes. Men are usually much more sociable, but in some cases lack the desired decency. With Bumble, this is not possible, at least in the first message, since this must come from the woman.

Bumble thus gives women the initiative in the hand. Dies ist allerdings auch Geschmackssache. In den USA ist Bumble schon weit verbreitet, in Deutschland muss die App noch wachsen.
