Deleting your Bumble account is permanent and cannot be reversed. If you’re deleting your current account to start fresh with a new account, it might affect who you see on the app.
How to Temporarily Disable Your Bumble Account
Bumble’s temporary disabling feature is called snooze mode, which essentially allows you to take your account offline without losing any of your profile information or connections. Your profile is hidden, you don’t appear in any swipe matches and your current matches and notifications are notified that you’re taking a break so they know you’re not just ignoring them.
Here’s how to take advantage of Bumble’s Snooze feature to take a break without losing anything already on your account.
Open the Bumble app and tap the Profile icon.
Tap the gear icon to access your settings.
Tap Snooze mode.
Choose the length of time to snooze your account by tapping one of these options:
- 24 hours
- 72 hours
- A week
- Indefinitely
If you select a short-term period for snooze mode, choose a reason to notify your current connections why you’re taking a break. You can choose from:
- I’m traveling
- I’m focused on work
- I’m on a digital detox
- I’m prioritizing myself
Select No thanks if none of the above reasons fit or you don’t want your connections to receive a notice.
You have the option to go back online any time you want. Just tap Deactivate snooze mode.
Remove Bumble’s Date Mode
If you want to stay active on Bumble, but aren’t looking to date anyone at the moment, you can remove Date mode so you can continue to use Bizz and BFF.
From the Bizz or BFF tab, tap the logo at the top and swipe through the modes until you see Bumbledate. Tap the X in the top left corner to remove it.
Any connections you made in Date mode are deleted, but you can always reenable Date mode from your settings.
