Does Bumble update your location even when you don't open the app?

Yes, Bumble updates a user's location automatically. The app is designed to track the location in the background to show users potential matches within their vicinity. This feature helps maintain the relevance and efficiency of the app's matching system. When a user's location changes significantly, Bumble adjusts the location data to display it on their profile, ensuring that the displayed matches are within the appropriate distance settings set by the user. However, if a user has concerns about privacy or battery usage, they can manage the app's location access through their phone's settings, opting to only allow Bumble to access their location when the app is actively being used, though this could impact the app's effectiveness in providing local matches.
