Bumble users can now share the identity, location, date, and time of a date with a trusted contact using the Share Date feature. Seventy-six percent of women always inform friends or family of their date details ahead of time, according to a survey of 2,500 UK dating app users aged 18 to 35, the results of which were emailed to Mashable.
The dating app is also launching ID Verification, so users can use a government-issued ID to confirm their identity. Users will also be able to request that their matches complete the ID Verification process, in addition to filtering out profiles who've not completed this step. Previously, users have been able to verify their identity using selfies.

In addition to these safety tools, a new Discover feature is launching, which will showcase the most compatible profiles to users based on mutual interests and shared dating intentions. The feature will refresh daily. Users are encouraged to update and add to their preferred interest badges and to ensure they've listed their dating intentions and completed their profile with as much information as possible, so the Discover suggestions are relevant.
Bumble is adding to its existing feature Review Before You Send, which warns users when messages may be inappropriate, and gives them the chance to edit them before sending. The feature was initially launched for Bumble's Compliments feature, which lets users send a message ahead of matching so they can stand out. But this new update will expand the review feature across all chat conversations.
All features will be free to Bumble members.
