Released in 2014, Bumble has made a name for itself in the crowded online dating market. It has diversified beyond dating as it also offers users BFF and Bizz mode to make friends and meet potential work collaborators, respectively.

The app was the first one to boast a feature that allowed only female users to initiate contact in heterosexual matches. However, given the large number of dating apps and their viability in a given geography, it’s possible that some other app suits your needs better.

If you’re thinking about getting rid of Bumble follow the guide below to delete your Bumble account. If you need a break, follow the guide at the end to deactivate your Bumble account using the Snooze tool.
