Bumble is a women-first dating and social networking app. The app has released a new suite of self-care badges and profile prompts. These new prompts are designed to allow the Bumble community to highlight how they prioritise mental health and practice self-care directly on their profile. Users on Bumble’s Date Mode can now select from two new mental wellness-related profile prompts including “My mental health game changer was…” and “I’m prioritising my mental health by..,” as well as six lifestyle badges focused on self-care, including ‘Therapy’, ‘Mindfulness’, ‘Deep Chat’, ‘Nutrition’, ‘Sleeping Well’ and ‘Time Offline’. Bumble’s interest adges let potential matches know what the other users self care values are. Meanwhile, the profile prompts help users to highlight their personality on their profile and help break the ice when making the first move.

Importance of mental health
Bumble’s recent study shows how Indians find it important to date someone who understands their mental health journey, especially post-pandemic. Bumble’s recent study revealed over half (52%) of single Indians surveyed said they would encourage someone they’re dating to be open about their mental health. The study also found that over three-quarters (77%) of single Indians surveyed find people who go to therapy and are open to discussing and exploring therapy attractive or appealing.

Samarpita Samaddar, India Communications Director, Bumble notes, “In a post-pandemic world, mental wellness and self-care are some of the most talked about topics. When it comes to mental health, daters in India are prioritising their mental health and personal self-care journey more than ever before, including within our relationships. Bumble’s new Self Care Badges and Profile Prompts allow you to clearly showcase how you practise self-care and encourage clear conversations about how you are prioritising your mental health with your connections. This way you can also prioritise matches that have shared values and interests.”
