    Was banned after payment of 34.99. Bumble said they received several reports from women but this is false. No one didn’t report me and they banned Me for nothing. Please give me my account back. I was banned for nothing. I wasn’t rude. They blacklisted my 2,000 iPhone device.

    🚨 Bumble’s “Empowerment” Is a Lie — Here’s How They Silenced and Data-Trapped Me. I want to share my experience because Bumble’s polished “empowering women” image hides something deeply wrong behind the scenes. After a normal interaction with a match went sour, he falsely reported me for “selling sexual services.” Without any investigation, Bumble permanently blocked my account. I reached out, explained exactly what happened, and asked them to review the situation. Instead of a fair review, they upheld their decision with no evidence, no transparency, and no path to appeal. When I requested full deletion of my personal data (a basic right under GDPR and other privacy laws), Bumble sent me an email that shocked me. They admitted that:

    They retain blocked users’ personal data — including names, device IDs, messages, and “reason for block.”

    This data is kept for up to six years to “protect their legitimate interests.”

    In some cases, data can be kept indefinitely if Bumble decides it’s “necessary.”

    In other words: if they wrongfully accuse or block you, your personal data stays in their system for years — even after you ask for erasure. It’s basically held hostage under the claim of “safety.” How is that empowerment? How is that protecting women? It’s deeply hypocritical for a company that markets itself as a safe space for women to turn around and:

    Ignore due process when false reports happen.

    Label women unfairly and offer no recourse.

    Retain sensitive data long after they’ve blocked and silenced them.

    I expected a platform that valued fairness and safety — instead, I got digital punishment and data captivity. I’m sharing this because too many women trust Bumble’s brand without realizing how little accountability exists once you’re falsely accused or flagged. Please, read their policies before trusting the “empowerment” narrative. We deserve better from companies that profit off our vulnerability.

      Point blank, you won't find a match on bumble. I was foolish enough to pay for a subscription, and that's on me. But only getting few matches and all from out of state? I understand bumble can't control the dating pool....but save yourself time and money. I've had had more interactions with ladies at my local gym than bumble.

      Customer Service is AWFUL. They automatically renew your subscription even when your cc is removed from the Bumble app and you have removed your subscription from Apple Iphone subscriptions - then when questioned about a refund they refused. For something to have such a wonderful story behind you are putting the background investments and owners to shame. It is an awful product with awful customer service - would 100% NOT recommend. I have also reported the disputed charge to my bank, the BBB, attorney general's office and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. I will make sure this in all the publications and feeds I can produce. Absolutely ridiculous business practices.

      I have never given one star for any website before. But using the Bumble app was the worst dating experience of my life. I received two likes after several days, neither of which messaged me. I have heard that dating for most men has become impossible after MeToo and Covid, but I wanted to find out for myself. Because it is a looks-based swipe app, like Tinder, and women control communication, with filters set impossibly high, I would only suggest this app for men who are in the top 20% to 30% of SMV. I am in shape, healthy. I have an advanced degree and a well-paying job. I also look 15 to 20 years younger than my age. In the past, I was swamped with dates. Yet, today, crickets - even from women my own age.

      Bumble is currently taking part in artificially inflating the traffic on their app by creating fake profiles. Most of these profiles are also ID verified. Bumble is so brazen about their fraud, they even have the audacity to put Bumble watermarks in the upper right hand corners of all the fake profiles they've created. Bumble in reality is a dead dating app that has been artificially propped up by fake accounts, created by the owners of the company themselves. And it's proof of this, because all their fake profiles, including the ID verified fake profiles, have the Bumble watermark featured in the right hand corner of every photo on these fake accounts. The fact that Bumble is still allowed to sell a lifetime subscription to their app, while committing this fraud, is an atrocity and it should be looked into by the Better Business Bureau and the FBI.

      I was banned on Bumble after I unmatched a lady from Africa. I told her I wasn’t interested and I told her nicely to leave me alone and within mins I was banned by bumble under my phone number. I didn’t do anything wrong. I wasn’t rude at all. This woman can’t take a rejection and falsely reporting me for being rude which is false

      Completely fraudulent. They have been charging me weekly premium of $17.99 when I cancelled my premium in December 24. Anyone else want to start a class action suit? They’re already got a few out there. I’m sick of all the work lost spending time on calls with my ccs - not to mention the time on an app filled with their scammers, ai, catfish, etc. Even if I’d met the perfect person, they are still illegally charging my card.

      I took all steps on the app and in the App Store to ensure my subscription was cancelled yet was billed for a renewal anyway. Before deleting the app ensure you remove payment info from the billing profile.

      I bought Bumble premium in the afternoon on June 27th and then tried to cancel the subscription later that same day so I wouldn't be charged for July. I couldn't find a "cancel subscription" button anywhere in the app, so I went to my PayPal account and pressed the "request cancellation" button. Paypal then instructed me to email the bumble-paypal-us@team.bumble.com address to cancel my subscription. I emailed that Bumble address on June 27th asking how to cancel my Bumble premium subscription and never received a response. Bumble charged my account almost $40 in July despite the fact that I took every reasonable step I knew how to take to cancel the subscription and avoid a July charge. You're not going to find what you're looking for on Bumble. Don't bother giving them your time/money.
