Having said so, remember that if you are absolutely confident that you haven’t done anything to violate Bumble’s Community Guidelines, then only you can adopt this approach. This is because if you have done something to get banned, appealing will not work for you.

What Will Make Bumble Ban You?
Thanks to Bumble’s rather comprehensive guidelines, here’s what will get you banned on the app:
1. Your Profile Should Truly Show Who You Are:
Your profile is a celebration of who you are – otherwise, how will you meet people who are right for you? So, create a Bumble profile that accurately represents your values, lifestyle, and most importantly, your pictures.
2. Respect Everyone You Meet On The App:
Of course, you don’t have to connect with all your matches – and if you do, that’s fine. Having said that, it is vital to respect everyone you meet on the app. It basically means:
- Respect everyone’s boundaries. So, you don’t need to take a conversation towards a sexual direction if you don’t have explicit consent from your matches.
- Don’t bully, belittle, or intimidate anyone. Bumble is very strict about dealing with behavior or content that makes any group or individual feel targeted or harassed.
- Don’t attack anyone for their values or views. So, if you aren’t really compatible with someone, just unmatch and move on.
- Respect all communities on the app and don’t target marginalized communities deliberately. Yep! Bumble does not tolerate behavior or content that promotes contempt or hate based on different protected attributes like gender identity, disability, race, and more.
3. Send Authentic Messages:
Authenticity is at the core of Bumble’s foundation. So, it’s best to keep your texts personal – avoid sending spammy messages on the app. The idea is to meet people and build genuine connections.
Similarly, it’s best to avoid spamming people with unwanted, excessive content or treating Bumble like an undiscovered marketplace for commercial gain. In addition, using automation for your dating life also makes things worse.
4. Use The Bumble Mode That Aligns With Your Intentions:
It might not appear to be an issue on the surface – but it is! I mean, why would you use Bumble BFF when you are looking for love on the app? Similarly, if you don’t want to date, then don’t enable the date mode. Instead, opt for BFF – and the same applies for Bumble Bizz.
In case Bumble finds out that someone is sending flirty messages on the other modes, then the app will send them a warning. Also, the app stands at liberty to ban these people. This ensures that everyone feels comfortable and confident.
5. Don’t Do Illegal Stuff:
Of course, you cannot use Bumble for doing anything illegal – that’s basic, and it applies to every possible situation. This includes any type of behavior or content that involves theft, scams, violence, or selling and buying drugs or other controlled substances.
