How long should I wait before reinstalling Bumble after deleting it?

Wait at least 24 hours between deleting your account and reinstalling the app. This waiting period helps minimize the risk that Bumble's algorithm will connect your old account with your new one and potentially limit your profile's visibility.

Will I lose my Bumble Premium subscription if I reset?

Yes. Any remaining time on your Bumble Boost, Premium, or Premium+ subscription will not transfer to your new account. Make sure to cancel your subscription before deleting your account to avoid being charged for a membership you can't use.

Can I use the same phone number when I reset Bumble?

While technically possible, it's risky. Using the same phone number increases the chance that Bumble will recognize your new account as connected to your old one. If you have access to a different phone number, consider using it for your fresh start.

How many times can I reset my Bumble account?

There's no official limit, but repeatedly resetting your account is a red flag to Bumble's algorithm. Multiple resets in a short timeframe significantly increase your risk of being shadowbanned or having your profile shown to fewer users. Only reset when you're truly ready to improve your profile.

Do I need to disconnect from Facebook even if I signed up with my phone number?

No. If you created your Bumble account using your phone number rather than Facebook login, you can skip the Facebook disconnection steps and proceed directly to deleting your account.

What's the difference between deleting and uninstalling Bumble?

Uninstalling simply removes the app from your phone—your account still exists. Deleting actually removes your account from Bumble's system entirely. For a proper reset, you need to delete your account (which you do within the app's settings), and then uninstall the app from your device.
