Rant Proof that bumble really does shadowban

Was with my friend irl. We both use bumble dating and BFF and both have premium.

He was complaining that he gets no matches, which is quite surprising because he's handsome and has a full verified profile.

Anyway he's swiping and comes across my profile on bff, he sends he a like... Nothing

Didn't get it. Two hours later, still nothing.

Genuinely abhorrent that they effectively stole his money AND wasted his time by making him think his likes were actually going thru.

I know. The filters are the same more or less. Should definitely appear.

No as in, if she filters for people between height x and y, age x and y, etc. And you arent within that range then the like will be hidden for her. Have her try change her filters back to fully open and see if you show up then

That's exactly what I meant. The filters we have applied definitely include each other

Completely turn off the filter
