🌟 Time to shout out your work bestie! 🌟

At Bumble Inc., we’re all about making meaningful connections beyond just dating. 

Since launching one year ago as a standalone app, Bumble For Friends has been helping people from all over create lifelong friendships.

And since today is International Friendship Day, we want to put the spotlight on the incredible bonds we form with our work BFFs!

Did you know that having a close friend at work can significantly boost your job satisfaction, productivity, and overall well-being? 

A 2022 Gallup study has shown that employees with strong workplace friendships are seven times more likely to be fully engaged at work and enjoy their day-to-day tasks more. 

And there’s more! According to a 2024 Bumble For Friends survey*:

👯More than three-quarters (76%) of respondents shared that having a work bestie has reduced their work-related stress.

👯77% shared that their work bestie has helped them get through tough times at work.

👯Half of respondents went as far to say that they would quit their current job if it weren't for their work bestie! 

👯71% currently have a work bestie from a different generation, and 68% say it’s been great for their growth.

👯55% believe that remote or in-person, work friendships are just as strong!

So, tell us – who’s your work BFF? Tag your work bestie in the comments and share what makes them so special. 

Tell us how they brighten your day, support you, and make work more enjoyable.
We want to hear all about the amazing friendships that make your work life more meaningful, so let the shout-outs begin! 💛

On June 27th, the U.S. Supreme Court dismissed a case which threatened to undermine the protections provided by the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA), including for pregnant people who may need emergency abortion care. 

While the decision is not a clear victory, it does offer a temporary sigh of relief for people in Idaho. Still, in states with abortion bans or restrictions in place, as Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote, “pregnant people experiencing emergency medical conditions remain in a precarious position.”

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again - abortion is healthcare, and healthcare is a human right.

Bumble was proud to stand alongside Levi’s, Match Group, Lyft, Yelp, the Women’s Chamber’s Chamber of Commerce and others to submit an amicus brief in the Moyle case, arguing that reproductive healthcare restrictions are bad for the economy and bad for business. While this brief provided a perspective from businesses, the reality is an overwhelming majority (86%) of people* support protecting access to abortion related emergencies. In the midst of what feels like sustained attacks on women’s rights, we remain steadfast in our support of an individual’s right to make their own reproductive choices. 

When your ability to choose if, when, and how to have children is taken away, so is your bodily autonomy. This could not be more true than when pregnant people face medical emergencies.

At Bumble, we believe in the right to choose, and to exercise control over our bodies. The safety, privacy, and freedom of family planning are critical to equality for all — and that includes equitable access to abortion care. 

We will continue to speak out—and speak loudly—against the retrogression of women’s rights.

We're celebrating Lidiane Jones first six months as CEO at Bumble Inc.! 🎉 Check out her reflections on championing our mission, driving innovation, and embracing kindness as part of our journey. 💛

Today, Bumble. Inc is pleased to announce that we have joined the Center for Democracy & Technology's working group to address the creation, spread and monetization of non-consensual intimate images (NCII) - including AI-generated content.

As a company rooted in kindness, respect, and online accountability, we believe in working collaboratively with our industry partners to tackle issues such as NCII. We care very deeply about providing our community with the tools they  need to feel empowered online, which includes control over their private images. 

This move will see us come together with representatives from technology companies, trust and safety practitioners, experts in online gender based violence, organisations representing impacted communities and organisations focused on digital rights in a safe, shared setting to discuss meaningful intervention points.

This is an extension of our work in this space, having previously announced our partnership with StopNCII.org, a free tool designed to support victims of Non-Consensual Intimate Image (NCII) abuse. 

With more of our lives spent online, non-consensual image abuse is a growing issue that like other forms of sexual harassment, disproportionately targets and impacts women. We have, and always will be, committed to joining conversations and partnerships that tackle these issues head on.
