Bumble Plans to Move Beyond Swiping

Bumble CEO Whitney Wolfe Heard said on a Q2 2026 earnings call that the company is building a new way for users to interact, replacing the familiar swipe with what she called "more intentional, fewer, better" signals. The change will happen gradually. No timeline was given. Q2 revenue fell 15.2% from a year earlier to $210.5 million.
