Bumble has revamped its app, leading to a new feature called‘Opening Move,’ newly added ‘dating intention’ badges, and more.

Opening Move is specifically meant to give women a kickstartto their conversations with their matches. The feature provides a list ofprewritten prompts that you can choose from and even add your own prompts to, thatthe app will send to all your matches in a new conversation. Some of theseprompts are questions like ‘Who’s your dream dinner party guest (real orfictional)?’ and ‘What do you like about my profile?’ If and when the matchresponds, you can decide whether or not you want to continue the conversation. Incase no move is made, the conversation will expire after 24 hours.

One thing that dating app users often struggle with ismaking the first move. Bumble is different from other dating apps like Tinderand Hinge in a way that it encourages women to make the first move when theymatch with someone. The Opening Move feature could therefore make it easy forwomen users of the app to engage with their matches without hesitation oroverthinking what to say.

In addition to Opening Move, Bumble is expanding its ‘datingintention’ badges that are displayed on users’ profiles to let potentialmatches know what they are interested in. Users will now be able to selectfrom up to two of these badges. Alongside the badges, Bumble will also put up users’common interests and favourite musicians at the top of their profiles.

Bumble is also now making it compulsory for users to uploadfour photos instead of two, at the time of creating the account. If you upload lessthan four photos, your profile won’t be discoverable in Bumble’s For You section.
