Questions & Answers

Question:
What happens when I delete my account?
Answer:

Deletion is permanent. When you delete Bumble your profile will be removed and you will not be seen by other users. You will no longer have any access to Bumble. If you want another account you will have to start over from scratch.

Question:
How long will it take for my account to be deleted?
Answer:

Removed and deleted information may persist in backup copies for up to 30 days to enable restoration of account, but it will not be available to others in the meantime.

Question:
What if I deleted the Bumble app instead of deleting my account?
Answer:

If you just remove the Bumble app from your phone, all you do is remove the app from view. Your profile still exists and can be seen and swiped against, you just won’t see it. To delete an account is to remove the profile completely so people cannot see it or swipe on it. If you deleted the app without deleting your account you must download the app again and then follow the steps to delete your account.

Question:
Does deleting my account cancel my paid subscription?
Answer:

No. If you have subscribed to Bumble Boost, you will need to stop the payment from the Google Play Store or iTunes otherwise you will still be charged. Both stores have a subscriptions section that should list Bumble. Select it and cancel the subscription. Make sure you do this before deleting your account.

Question:
Do I have to delete my account to stop receiving notifications?
Answer:

No. If you no longer wish to receive push notifications/alerts from the app, you may opt out by changing your notification settings on your mobile device, you do not need to delete your whole account.
