It’s worth considering whether you want to delete your Bumble account permanently, or if you just want to take a break from using the app. If you’re just looking for a break, you can consider temporarily disabling your account rather than deleting it permanently.

How to disable Date Mode from Bumble
Bumble has a feature called “Date Mode” that allows users to switch from the default “BFF” mode, which is for making friends, to “Date” mode, which is for finding romantic partners. If you’re not interested in using Bumble for dating and just want to use it to make friends, you can disable the Date mode. Here’s how to do it:
- Open the Bumble app on your device.
- Tap on your profile icon in the top left corner of the screen.
- Tap on “Settings.”
- Scroll down to the “Date Mode” section.
- Toggle the “Date Mode” switch to the off position.
Once you’ve disabled Date mode, you’ll only be able to use Bumble in BFF mode, and you won’t see any potential romantic matches in your swipe deck. If you decide that you want to use Bumble for dating again, you can simply toggle the “Date Mode” switch back to the on position.
It’s important to note that disabling Date mode will not affect your BFF mode matches or conversations. You’ll still be able to use Bumble to make friends, even if you’ve disabled Date mode.
If you’re not interested in using Bumble for dating, disabling Date mode can be a helpful way to ensure that you don’t see any potential romantic matches in your swipe deck. This can be especially useful if you just want to use the app to make friends and don’t want to be bothered by dating-related notifications.
How To Hide Your Bumble Account
If you don’t want to delete your Bumble account but you also don’t want to be visible to other users, you can hide your account instead. Here’s how to do it:
- Open the Bumble app on your device.
- Tap on your profile icon in the top left corner of the screen.
- Tap on “Settings.”
- Scroll down to the “Account Status” section.
- Tap on “Make My Account Inactive.”
- Follow the prompts to confirm that you want to hide your account.
When you hide your Bumble account, your profile will be hidden and you won’t be visible to other users. However, your account and all of the information you had on it will still be saved, so you can make your account active again at any time by simply changing your account status back to “Active.”
Hiding your Bumble account can be a good option if you don’t want to delete your account but also don’t want to be visible to other users. This can be especially useful if you’re taking a break from online dating but want to keep your account and information saved for future use. If you decide that you want to make your account active again, you can do so by simply changing your account status back to “Active.”
