Does Bumble notify when you screenshot? Here's what to know (2024)

FAQs

Does Bumble notify when you screenshot? Here's what to know? ›

The short answer is No. Bumble does not notify the other party when someone clicks a screenshot, whether it's a profile picture, private chat, or prompt response. We know it's not great news for a privacy-conscious Bumble user, but this is considered fair game on dating apps.

Does Bumble notify of screenshots? Bumble does not notify users of screenshots. You can take screenshots all you want. Your potential match will not be notified whether you capture a screenshot of their profile or chats, so don't worry about making things awkward.

Whether you've taken one screenshot or a thousand, it doesn't matter; Tinder users don't get notified when screenshots are taken. So have fun taking screenshots, whether it is to show your friends a funny profile picture, share an interesting bio, or get help from a friend for writing a good conversation opener.

Does Bumble notify if someone checked out your profile? The answer is no. Even if you pay for a subscription, you can't. On a paid subscription you can only see who swipes right on you.

But being unmatched after a good chat or a date is different. We know this can hurt, which is why we introduced our Unmatched feature. If you've been talking to someone and they unmatch you, the Unmatched feature means you'll be kindly made aware rather than the conversation suddenly disappearing.

Bumble does not offer read receipts.

It is not possible to see if someone has seen your message, nor is it possible for them to see if you have read theirs. Conversations on Hinge also do not include read receipts. Other apps like Tinder and OKCupid allow you to purchase read receipts as an add-on.

No, taking a screenshot of someone's Instagram profile won't trigger a notification. This means you can capture the current state of a profile for your reference without alerting the profile owner.

Some dating apps, like Raya and Badoo, already have screenshot bans. And, over the weekend, someone posted what is probably a joke about Grindr blocking screenshots, only to be met with thousands of people actually calling for the introduction of the feature.

Use the Extend feature

It also lets the other person know you're eager to get the conversation going, since they'll receive a notification that you used your daily Extend on them.

Can I see if someone screenshots my Bumble? ›

Bumble does not notify users of any screenshots within the app. Users can capture profile photos and chat messages without notifying the other person. Here's what that entails and how it compares to other popular apps.

On Bumble, when someone checks out your profile, you will receive a notification that says "[Name] checked you out!" However, this notification only appears if you have the Bumble Boost subscription. If you don't have Bumble Boost, you won't receive a notification when someone checks out your profile.

Rest assured, no one else on Bumble will ever know when or if you're using it, and you can turn it off anytime. Now you're in control of exactly who sees your photos and information. Only people who you want to match with will be able to view your profile.

Safety Reporting

We use a combination of human moderators and automated systems to monitor and review Bumble accounts and interactions for content that may be against our Community Guidelines, against our Terms and Conditions, or otherwise harmful.

If you choose to verify your profile photo, we will scan each photo that you submit. The scan may include the use of facial recognition technology so that we can compare the photo you submit to your profile photo, to help ensure that you are who you say you are.

Bikinis and swimwear pics are only okay if you are outdoors; for example, in a pool or at the beach. But if you're indoors, that's a no-no, since it looks too much like underwear. On that note, no pictures in your underwear either. And men, no shirtless photos—unless you're at the beach.
