Ditching the Digital Getaway: How to Turn Off Bumble’s Travel Mode

Bumble’s Travel Mode is a fantastic feature for those planning a trip, allowing you to connect with potential matches in your destination city before you even arrive. But once your vacation’s over and you’re back in your home turf, remembering to switch it off can be easily overlooked. This seemingly simple task can sometimes leave users a bit perplexed. Fortunately, disabling Travel Mode is straightforward. Here’s a step-by-step guide to ensure your Bumble profile reflects your actual location:

Step 1: Access Your Profile

First, open the Bumble app on your smartphone. Navigate to your profile screen. This is usually accessed by tapping on your profile picture located in the top-left or top-right corner of the app’s main screen (depending on your device and Bumble’s latest update).

Step 2: Find the Settings Cog

Once you’re viewing your profile, look for the settings icon. This is typically represented by a gear icon (⚙️) or three dots (…), usually located in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. Tap on this icon to access Bumble’s settings menu.

Step 3: Locate and Deactivate Travel Mode

Within the settings menu, you’ll find several options. Look for a section related to location or travel. You should see a prominent blue button labeled “Travel” or something similar, indicating your current Travel Mode setting. Directly under this button, you’ll see your currently selected location displayed. This is the location Bumble is showing to other users.

Step 4: Return to Your Home Location

Tap on your currently displayed travel location. This will open a new screen allowing you to either select a different location (if you wish to change to another travel location) or, critically, to simply deselect it. By selecting your actual, current location (or tapping the “Use Current Location” button, if available), you effectively disable Travel Mode. Bumble will now only show your profile to users within your true geographic area.

Confirming the Change:

After completing these steps, double-check your profile settings to ensure Travel Mode is deactivated and your location is correctly set.

By following these simple steps, you can seamlessly transition from your digital travels back to your local Bumble experience, ensuring your profile accurately reflects your location and you only connect with people within your desired range. No more accidental matches across continents!
