Bumble Users Continue to Use Facebook Login Despite New Privacy Option

3rd May 2018 Chloe Gay

Users seem to be continuing to use Facebook to login on Bumble.

Last month, Bumble announced that its users will not need to use the platform’s services in order to login after recent privacy concerns.

However, since Bumble’s announcements the user ranks on Facebook for Bumble have climbed more than they had in months prior.

Bumble’s VP Louise Troen told Wired: “Many of our users and prospective users asked for an alternative registration method. As always, empowering our users to make connections is our number one priority and we wanted to continue to ensure our users felt safe while doing this.”

The new option would now allow Bumble users to login using their phone number. This will then verify that the user is real.

Users also reportedly said that this would add a new level of security. However, this data now shows that Bumble users are happy to continue using the app the original way, through Facebook.
