Frequently asked questions
Does deleting Bumble cancel my subscription?
Cancel any App Store or Google Play subscription before deleting — deleting the account does not stop billing.
Does uninstalling Bumble delete my account?
No. Removing the app from your phone leaves your profile active. You must delete the account in settings.
Can I pause Bumble instead of deleting?
Many dating sites let you hide or pause your profile. Check Bumble’s settings for a pause or hide option if you might come back.
