Tinder, which recently teamed up with Spotify, Happn and many other dating apps, is managing to connect millions of people around the planet. But they also have a small handicap, and this is that another person can be found behind that profile image. Are fake accounts, They are usually used to try to catch the couple in the act or do the opposite, remain anonymous to find some temporary idyll to satisfy needs.
Bumble is another one of those dating apps that allows you to search for that new master and that has now launched a slightly strange account verification designed to hunt down those fake accounts that tend to flood these types of services. It will not ask you to click a link via the web or to confirm your identity through a phone call, but it will ask you to take a selfie to prove that you are not someone else using the photos of others.
If you choose to go through that identification process, Bumble will send you one of the 100 photographs with random poses what's wrong with it. Then you will have to take a selfie with that particular pose for you to send it to them. Bumble has stated that it can handle verifications in a matter of minutes, it even has workers who will authenticate and take a look at each and every image that is submitted.
As far as is known, the process will not be mandatory, unless someone reports that your profile is faso. If you fail to try that's you in seven days, Bumble will save your profile and you won't be able to use any of its features. The process will be present for a week, so you can practice those poses if you use the app on a regular basis.
A feature similar to the one Lovoo has, which has the option to give away credits if you verify your profile by sending a photo with your name. Although this option is easier to evade logically.
But what is Bumble about?
Bumble will take care of connecting with people around you. Two people like Tinder, with those famous swipes, and they will be connected in their own kind of "swarm", as indicated by the app from the Google Play Store. The big difference between Bumble and other dating apps is that it will be the girl who has to start to chat within 24 hours. If this does not happen like this, the connection between the two people will disappear forever.
For connections made between people of the same sex, any of them you can start the conversation; it will also remain within those 24 hours. The exceptional fact is that either of them can extend the connection time to 24 hours more.
Bumble will ask you to use your Facebook account so that you can get to know that person who can change your life. Once this is done, you can even access the premium options of Bumble Boost. It also has another interesting option called BumbleBFF that will allow you to meet people just looking for friends. This means that people interested in dating will not see your profile. It can be activated or deactivated at any time from the settings.
It is an app that is taking its first steps and, logically, it does not have as many users as there can be as many as those mentioned at the beginning of the post. Anyway, works quite well and its characteristics are focused to differentiate itself from the rest of the competition. The BFF option will allow you to meet people who are only looking for friendship, so you will be out of those who are looking for a date for something more than meeting.
It's free from the Google Play Store so you can try it at least and decide for her before others.
