Travel Mode lets you connect with people in a different place. This is perfect for planning ahead before a trip to explore potential matches in a new location.
How to turn on Travel mode
- Tap the settings icon from your profile tab
- Tap the ‘travel’ (under ‘location’)
- Search for the place you want to virtually travel to. Bumble will now show you profiles from that area for the next 7 days
How it works
- You can only appear in one location at a time using Travel mode
- It won’t change your actual GPS—you’ll only be in that place virtually
- Once activated, your People tab will be filled with profiles from your selected location
- If you liked someone before turning on Travel Mode and they have Bumble Premium, they’ll still be able to see your profile in their ‘Liked You’ tab and choose to match with you from there. If they don’t have Premium, they may not see your profile again to like you back, as you’ll now only appear in your selected Travel location.
- You can turn off or change your Travel mode location anytime through your profile settings (the same way you turned it on)
- You’ll need a Bumble Premium or Premium+ subscription to make use of Travel mode
- Once you switch on Travel mode, you’ll have a ‘travel mode’ banner on your profile
Why can't I select a location I had previously used?
We’re always working to provide our members the best experience possible on Bumble. If you’re unable to select a location you previously used, it may be because our service is no longer available there. We know this can be frustrating, and we appreciate your understanding. To keep using the app, you’ll just need to update your Travel mode location using the steps above and choose from the available options.
