Bumble, the dating app originally marketed for women to make the first move, has announced that it has banned all forms of derogatory language, including homophobic, biphobic and transphobic speech.
Although the app was originally just for straight people, in recent years it has expanded to cater for the LGBTQ+ community.
The move was introduced on Thursday (28 January) and bans derogatory language being used on either a person’s profile or in their messages to someone else.
Warnings will be given to users who violate the rules, and repeat offenders or someone who has made “particularly harmful comments” will be banned from using Bumble.
