Bumble has introduced badges for mental health and self-care
Bumble has introduced six new Interest Badges and Prompts to encourage users to prioritize their mental well-being and connect with others who share their values. The Badges, which include “Therapy,” “Mindfulness,” and “Sleeping well,” allow users to showcase their interests, while the Prompts, such as “My mental health game changer was…” and “I’m prioritizing my mental health by…,” provide an opportunity to reveal more about their personality and start conversations.
A recent survey conducted by Bumble found that over half of the respondents believe it’s important to be open about mental health when connecting with others.
Tinder now uses AI and video selfies for verification
Tinder has updated its Photo Verification feature to incorporate AI and video selfies.
Previously, users would take photos of themselves posing to receive a blue checkmark indicating verification. Now, Tinder requires a video selfie instead of photos and will soon allow users to limit their chats to other verified members.
Here are the latest startup updates from May 5th
- Boo – a new app connects users with compatible and like-minded people based on personality.
- WidowsFire: A non-judgmental and discreet platform for like-minded people in the UK to meet and flirt. The app emphasizes physical attraction as a key factor in matchmaking.
- Flutrr: India’s first multilingual dating app, Flutrr promotes a safe and inclusive dating experience in various languages.
- Bad Boy Dating: This dating app encourages users to leave bad boys before they fall for them. The app compares the excitement and adrenaline rush of dating a gym-hungry, fit bad boy with the stability of a steady, level-headed accountant, leaving it up to the users to decide which is more fun to date.
How to recognizing red and green flags in relationships
A recent survey conducted by Indian dating app QuackQuack uncovered common red and green flags in relationships.
The survey, which polled 10,000 respondents between the ages of 20 and 35, found that 29% of women aged 22 to 32 considered a man badmouthing his ex to be a red flag. Additionally, 38% of daters over 30 believed that an overly controlling partner was a red flag.
Among green flags, 21% of men from India’s largest cities found women who owned up to their mistakes to be attractive, while 19% of singles over 30 valued finding an accepting partner who didn’t mock their style or interests.
