This Is Why Bumble Matches Disappear

Bumble’s mobile dating platform is one of the more popular dating apps for users under 30. The app allows single users to match with people who think they’re attractive. However, there may be instances where your Bumble matches don’t show up in your queue.

Why do Bumble matches disappear? Bumble matches disappear because the other person unmatches you, deletes their profile, or blocks you.

In this article, we’re going to show you all the reasons why Bumble matches disappear and how you can identify what happened.

Why Bumble Matches Disappear

Bumble matches disappear because of a user’s action. When two users swipe to the right on each other’s profile, they will instantly be matched with one another. From here, Bumble will put their profile in your match queue.

The user must wait for the female to make the first contact to start the conversation. If the girl speaks the first words, then the male can respond and continue the conversation.

However, there may come the point where you go to respond to a match, and they have disappeared. There are a few reasons why the profile may seem like it just got removed from your queue. Bumble doesn’t just randomly remove profiles from your match queue. If the person you were talking to isn’t there, it’s for a reason.

It’s Hidden

The first thing you’ll want to check if your matches disappeared is if it’s hidden. A filter on the match queue side allows you to hide all the matches or keep them on the screen.

We recommend checking that you didn’t hit this filter by mistake. If you did, hit the filter again, and it will redisplay all of the matches you have in the order that you matched with them.

Be sure to check this filter to see if you accidentally hit it before trying any of the other actions below.

User Unmatched You

The reason a user may no longer show in your chat queue is that they unmatched you. Even if you think the conversation is going well, the other person may still unmatch you.

This could be for various reasons, including meeting someone else or not wanting to talk to you anymore. More often than not, people who use Bumble often talk to 4-5 other matches at once. It’s up to you to shine through those other matches and win over the person you’re talking to.

It’s possible that the person you’re talking to isn’t feeling it anymore and may unmatch you simply out of boredom or loss of feelings. Don’t take this personally. Move on to the next match.

Deletes Their Profile

A user may disappear in your match queue if they completely remove their profile from Bumble. We’ve documented here why users may see “Deleted Account” when they try to talk to a previous match here.

The user may unmatch you before they delete their account. If they don’t, it will simply appear in your match queue as a “deleted account.” This means the user completely removed their profile from Bumble and is no longer active. Any message that you send them will not be delivered to them.

The good thing is that you’re still able to see the conversation you had with them. This means if they left you their phone number or their Snapchat, you could reach out to them. If you don’t have any of their information, unfortunately, they are gone forever.

Blocks Your Profile

If the user you’re talking to feels uncomfortable or no longer wants to communicate with you, they may block you. Blocking has no negative effect on your profile as a whole. However, it means you will no longer be able to talk to that person anymore.

If a user blocks you, there is no way currently to get your profile unblocked. Once the user decides to block your profile, they are gone from your match queue. This means that they will not be shown under your matches, and you will not be able to communicate with them.

Do Bumble Matches Come Back?

Bumble matches do not come back once you are unmatched, deleted, or blocked. The only way to get users back into your queue that has removed your profile is to delete the app and make a brand new profile.

This will allow you to see a whole new set of matches, including the profiles that may have removed you.

We caution you about doing this tactic as if a profile who sees your profile comes up in their card stack will probably swipe left on your profile.

If someone doesn’t want to talk to you and took the initiative to block you, it’s probably better that you both don’t talk. Remember, there are millions of males and females in the world. If one doesn’t work out, move on to the next match. Don’t make anyone feel uncomfortable for feeling a certain way.

Conclusion

Bumble matches disappear because they are hidden, unmatched your profile, deleted their profile, or blocked you. In most of these cases, you don’t see their profile anymore because of an action they did on your profile.

There’s nothing you can do about this, as it happens from time to time, even if you’re a nice person. Do not take it personally if someone blocks or unmatches your profile. Move on to the next person and spark up a new conversation.
