Why Bumble Freezes & How To Fix It

For many Bumble users, it’s been reported that the Bumble app is freezing when the person tries to adjust the filter settings. This is often the case when you adjust your age or distance settings. We’ve also seen reports of this happening right after the user checks “dealbreaker.”

When we say Bumble is frozen, the user is still able to access the chat and the profile features. However, they cannot access the filter features, and the main screen is on a continuous loop. Or if you bumble keeps crashing on your mobile device.

Bumble Stuck On Loading Screen

If your Bumble is stuck on yellow screen, here are the fixes that you’ll need to do within the app.

Close & Reopen The Bumble App

If your Bumble is stuck on loading screen, we recommend closing the app and reopening it. Along with closing the Bumble app, make sure that all of the other apps are closed as well. The phone might be bogged down by other mobile apps, which could cause the memory to glitch.

Once you close the app, wait about 10 seconds to reopen it again. The main screen will start to load as you reopen the app.

We recommend only having the Bumble app open when you’re using it.

Wait For The App To Load

Often the best remedy to fix when Bumble is not loading is to be patient. If you live in a suburban area, it’s common that Bumble needs to search a wide area to find users that fit your criteria. If you’ve selected age and distance to be a dealbreaker, then there’s a good chance it’s taking time to narrow its preferences.

Why does bumble take so long to load?

Bumble takes so long to load because of the tech involved in the app. Bumble keeps loading users based on the information you give it. The app finds users by GPS the loading their profile into your profile. This process may take a few minutes, depending on how fast your wifi or cellular signal is.

We recommend you wait for bumble’s slow loading for 1 minute. If your Bumble won’t open move on to the next step.

Check Your Internet & Cellular Signal

Oftentimes the reason Bumble won’t load is poor wifi or a bad internet signal. Before deleting anything or closing your app, make sure you have a good signal on at least one of the connections.

If you have a poor cellular signal, it’s common that the app is trying to load all of the data on the user’s profile, but at a slower rate. This could take up to 1 minute to load the profiles if there is a poor signal.

To get the best use of Bumble, we recommend you connect to reliable wifi. That way, the profiles will load seamlessly, and there will be no issue with accessing the filter option.

Delete And Redownload The Bumble App

The last option is if you Bumble app is not working is to delete it and redownload it. While we recommend this is the last option you take, this option worked for us and is the most consistent.

If Bumble is stuck and the loading screen won’t load profiles, there’s a good chance you have a Bumble bug in your app. This means that it will infinitely load, with no access to changing the filters. You will be stuck on the profile screen with the Bumble logo, no matter how many times you close the app or wait for it to load.

We recommend completely deleting the Bumble app from your phone. Do not delete your account; delete the app from your phone.

After you delete it, go back into the app store menu and redownload Bumble onto your phone. You should then be able to go back and access the Bumble filters and change them to what you need them to be changed back to. Bumble will revert its filter settings to the original, standard settings.

❤️ Pro Tip: If you’re sick of finding people who are just looking for one-night stands, we recommend trying eHarmony.

It’s one of the highest-rated online dating apps in the world. eHarmony users are actually actively looking for relationships. Give it a try here for free and see if you can tell the difference.

Conclusion
