Our take
Every member in the US has to pass a selfie check before using Bumble, and you can add an ID check for a second badge. Since August 2026 anyone in a match can send the first message, and the other person has 72 hours to reply. It works well without paying; paid plans add extras such as seeing who already liked you.
