Bumble is an online dating and networking application launched in 2014. Profiles of potential matches are displayed to users, who can “swipe left” to reject a candidate or “swipe right” to indicate interest. The app is a product of Bumble Inc., founded by Whitney Wolfe Herd shortly after she left Tinder. Wolfe Herd has described Bumble as a “feminist dating app”.
The company is valued at more than $1 billion, reportedly having over 50 million users in 190 countries as of 2023.
As of June 2024, Bumble was the most downloaded dating application in the United States with 735,000 downloads.
