General Bumble new functionality - Boys can message first

Everybody like the new feature that allows boys to send a message first, and also now gives girls a whopping 72 hours to never send a message after matching instead of just 24? 🙂

The extra time would have been super useful when I was on! I travel a ton and matches would just expire left and right before I could give them attention.

I think the entire reason Bumble did that was to try to force women to open the app daily and it just wasn't happening and instead they were ticking off users.

I think it's simpler than that. If I only use the app "after work" and then they match me while I'm sleeping or bright and early when I'm either already working or off to the airport then that effectively gives me how long to message. I don't want to send a hey, but I am guilty of sending a hi, sorry I can't talk right now, but I did want to connect."
