Resetting your Bumble experience can feel like a fresh start, whether you’re hoping to see different profiles or you’ve had a change of heart about someone you swiped left on. Sometimes, it’s simply a matter of wanting a do-over with your account. Understanding how to reset likes, swipes, and your account can help you navigate Bumble with renewed perspective.

To reset your likes and swipes on Bumble without creating a new account, you should know that Bumble doesn’t allow this outright. Your swipe history is designed to remain consistent to prevent users from encountering the same profile multiple times. However, if someone deletes their profile and then recreates it, they may reappear in the swipe queue.

If you’re intent on resetting your likes and swipes because you believe you’ve run out of potential matches – which is common in smaller towns or cities – then your best bet is to expand search criteria like age range and distance. Over time, previously swiped profiles might pop up again due to changes in the user base or variances in the app’s algorithm.

To fully reset your Bumble account:

1. Open the Bumble app and tap on the Profile icon.

2. Navigate to ‘Settings’  — this is typically found in the upper left-hand corner.

3. Scroll down to the bottom of the settings page and select ‘Delete account.’

4. You’ll be prompted to provide a reason for deleting your account; choose whichever applies.

5. Confirm the deletion by typing “delete” when prompted.

After deleting your account, uninstall the app from your device, wait at least 24 hours to ensure that all data associated with your profile has been removed from the system.

To create a new account after a reset:

1. Reinstall Bumble from your device’s respective app store.

2. Open the app and follow the prompts for creating a new profile.

Remember to use new photos and information for your profile to avoid potential flags from Bumble’s automated systems for duplicate accounts.

Finally, keep in mind that resetting an account too frequently might affect how other users perceive you or how well the app works since it could look like suspicious behavior.

Now you’re ready to start anew on Bumble with a clean slate!
