Does the Bumble app only update your location when you open it?

The Bumble app primarily updates a user's location when they open the app and occasionally in the background if permission for background updates has been given. When opened, Bumble actively acquires the user's current location to show potential matches in their vicinity. Bumble's algorithm uses this location data to provide relevant local matches, which is essential for the relevancy of the app's core functionality—connecting people within a certain distance of each other. However, users can control location permissions based on their device's operating system settings to limit when or how frequently their location is updated, impacting how their profile is presented to others geographically.
