Bumble is letting go of swipes. Rather than asking users to swipe right or left on a profile to confirm their interest or disinterest in a potential match, the dating app is replacing it with something else, Axios reports. Bumble CEO Whitney Wolfe Herd shared the change in an interview with the publication, along with the news that Bumble is removing one of its fundamental features entirely: An optional requirement that women message first in heterosexual matches.
