Bumble’s app redesign lets women automate conversation starters


It’s getting easier to start conversations.

Some of the prewritten prompts include questions like “Who’s your dream dinner party guest (real or fictional)?” or “What do you like about my profile?” Once the match responds, women can choose whether or not to carry on the conversation, which will expire after 24 hours if no move is made. “In listening to our community, many have shared their exhaustion with the current online dating experience, and for some, that includes making the first move,” Bumble CEO Lidiane Jones says in a statement. Bumble will now let users choose from up to two badges, such as “‘fun, casual dates,” “intimacy without commitment,” “life partner,” and “ethical non-monogamy.”
