Bumble Introduces ID Verification and Safety Features to Enhance User Security
The dating app's new tools aim to combat romance scams, improve safety during in-person meetings, and foster respectful interactions.
- Bumble has launched a voluntary ID verification feature, allowing users to authenticate their identity with a government-issued ID and earn a badge on their profile.
- Users can filter potential matches by ID-verified profiles and request matches to complete the verification process before meeting in person.
- The new 'Share Date' feature enables users to share details of their dates, such as time, location, and identity, with trusted contacts for added safety.
- An expanded 'Review Before You Send' tool flags potentially inappropriate messages, giving users the chance to revise them before sending.
- Bumble also introduced a 'Discover' page to help users find compatible matches based on shared interests and dating intentions, refreshed daily.
