About Bumble

Bumble flips dating norms by requiring women to send the first message after a mutual match. This design reduces unsolicited messages and creates a more respectful environment. Available worldwide, Bumble also offers Bumble BFF and Bumble Bizz for friendship and networking. The app features photo verification, video calls, and voice notes. Bumble Boost and Premium add features like Beeline (see who liked you), Rematch, and SuperSwipes.

About Happn

Happn is a French-born dating app with a unique concept: it shows you profiles of people you have physically crossed paths with during the day, using real-time GPS. If two users have been near each other, they appear in each other's timelines. Both users can 'like' each other — if it's mutual, they can chat. This makes Happn feel more organic than algorithmic swiping, as matches are people who actually exist in your daily world. Happn is especially popular in European cities including Paris, Amsterdam, Brussels, and Berlin, with over 100 million downloads worldwide.
