ROLLING STONE - Bumble faced backlash after users reported seeing profiles they had previously blocked, prompting safety concerns. Jennie Young, a professor and dating app strategist, shared a support email suggesting blocked users might reappear "in case you changed your mind." A follower tested this by logging out and back in, confirming the same blocked profiles were still visible. Bumble later walked back the claim, stating the original message was inaccurate and that blocked users should not reappear unless they create new accounts.
