Does Bumble update your location automatically without opening the app?

Yes, Bumble does update your location automatically. Bumble is designed as a location-based dating and social app, which means it uses the location data of users to operate its main functionality of showing potential matches nearby. The app typically updates a user's location whenever they open it; however, even without opening the app, the location can be updated periodically when the app runs in the background on a smartphone with proper permissions set. This ensures that the user's location is reasonably current for other users on the platform, thus maintaining the relevance and proximity of potential matches suggested by the application.
