Bumble Introduces 'Opening Moves' Feature to Enhance User Choice

The dating app Bumble has launched a new feature allowing women to opt for men to initiate conversations, marking a significant shift from its traditional women-message-first model.

Bumble's new 'Opening Moves' feature lets women set prompts for men to respond, giving them the option to initiate conversations.
The feature is designed to provide more autonomy and ease the pressure on women, aligning with evolving definitions of empowerment.
Optional for users, the feature maintains Bumble's core principle of female empowerment while offering flexibility.
The update includes other enhancements such as increased photo requirements and more detailed profile information to foster genuine connections.
CEO Lidiane Jones emphasizes the adaptation to user feedback and the pursuit of more authentic interactions in the online dating scene.
