Hailed as one of the most popular dating apps today, Bumble has become the platform of choice for many men and women trying to find the perfect ‘match’ for themselves.
Otherwise, quite similar to Tinder, this cheeky bee-themed dating app has a pretty unique twist, as it insists that only females can start the conversation once a match has been established, so to speak! (That’s why it’s considered the feminist version of Tinder, really.)
Since men are always known and expected to take the first step (even in an online setting), the creators of Bumble decided to mix things up a bit and bring the spotlight to the ladies of the platform.
Now, some love the premise, some not so much, but at the end of the day, one thing cannot be denied – Bumble is getting more popular over time. Okay then. good for them.
In this article, we will talk about Bumble’s matchmaking system and how it works. We will also talk about what versions of the platform are available and how you can use them not only to find a quick relationship or true love, but also to find friends and business partners!
So, without further ado, let’s answer this question – Will Bumble Send Email Notifications When I Get a Match? (By the way, this is the very topic of the article.)
How Does Matchmaking Work in Bumble?
To get started, let’s talk about how matchmaking works in Bumble.
The main premise is quite similar to the one used on Tinder. After installing the app and completing your profile, you will be greeted with a pile of other people’s profiles. You’ll be able to see things like profile pictures and bios where they can present themselves in all their glory or just write a cheeky paragraph for a laugh. (Beware, both can be equally attractive if done well!)
Anyway, back to that profile pile- similar to the deal on Tinder, you’ll be asked to swipe right or left depending on whether you’re interested in the person in question. Pretty simple, right?
(Oh, there’s an important caveat here too: If you find a match, you have 24 hours to start the conversation, but this can be extended for another 24 hours if you really like the person. One more thing – only women can start a conversation.)
Snooze Off
As much as you enjoy the exciting act of swiping someone right and waiting for their response, you can’t be expected to be online all the time.
That’s why the folks at Bumble organized the ‘snooze’ option. Hit ‘Snooze’ and your matches will realize you’re offline, so you can present yourself as a responsible person who cares about what others think of you. (Rather than unintentionally going offline.)
Well, that’s the idea at least.
The most important thing about procrastination is that your currently chatting matches don’t end while you’re away!
However, all your activities in Bumble will be paused while Snooze is on. So make sure you’re online when you’re really serious!
Match Notifications
If you match with someone, Bumble will send an in-app notification. You can manage the settings to turn them on or off whenever you want. (You can also turn vibrations, sound, and other parameters on or off depending on your preferred device.)
Now, when it comes to emails, Bumble’s terms of service say that the people at Bumble reserve the right to send you emails, text messages, and push notifications to keep you up to date with the latest deals and app-related news. like, they update themselves!
What this effectively means is that you can receive emails from Bumble, but they will most likely contain some sort of advertisement for their Bumble Boosts, for example. Also, any news about changes in the app can be emailed to you.
As for the match notifications themselves, you only get in-app notifications when you receive a notification, but the email area of the communication remains reserved for asking you to come back to the app, so to speak. hadn’t been for a while.
As a result, it looks like Bumble doesn’t actually send email notifications for matches. We hope you found this article helpful and wish you lots of matches and as few ad-filled email notifications as possible! (Some users have described them as ‘annoying’ but hey, we don’t point with fingers or anything!)
