What does the blue checkmark mean on Bumble?

The blue checkmark on Bumble means that the profile who you see has verified its Bumble profile, so you can be pretty sure that the person who you see on the profile pictures is the same one who is sending you the messages after you matched with each other.

Some people on Bumble call it blue tick but if we want to be most accurate, it is actually a white checkmark in a blue circle, as you can see on the picture below:

Should I get Bumble’s blue checkmark?

Yes, absolutely. Although it is not as a new feature as it is on Tinder where you can get some social status by acquiring the blue checkmark it is still recommended to get the blue checkmark.

You can still signal some social status if a blue checkmark is on your profile, as on other social media platforms the checkmark can only be acquired if you are a celebrity or considered to be a little famous.

You can also signal with the Bumble blue tick that you are a safe choice, your potential match has nothing to worry about when you would meet up.

Both of these effects can contribute a little bit to increasing your chances of matching with someone. It is not a dealbreaker though, most people won’t care when they are swiping if you have the blue checkmark on your Bumble profile or not. The bottom line is that it is better to get the blue checkmark than not.

What happens if I didn’t get the blue checkmarks?

If you didn’t get the blue checkmark on Bumble after the verification process, two things can happen. If your profile has been previously reported as a potential fake profile, then you are in trouble as Bumble will most likely ban your profile.

If you are not reported and don’t use any fake pictures, you don’t have to worry about anything. Just restart the process, retake the pictures and you will be good and be able to get the blue tick on your profile.

Can Bumble’s blue checkmarks be hacked?
