The popular dating app Bumble updated its bullying and abuse policy and now bans people for ghosting their dates.
Ghosting will now be taken seriously on the popular dating app Bumble. In late August, the app banned the behavior as part of its bullying and abuse policy. According to
, members are not allowed to"not show up to an in-person meet up despite clear plans agreed by both parties."While some definitions of ghosting include not responding to messages, this one only applies to in-person hangouts—it's still OK, according to the app, to stop talking to someone without explaining yourself.
The company also does not consider behavior to be ghosting if you notify your date that you aren't showing up—even if it's at the last minute—or explain why you, it confirmed with Insider. They said a behavior will only qualify as a ghost if"no contact prior to or after the date has been made by the reported party to explain the behavior."
So fear not: If you get stuck without reception and miss your date, you can't be reported—as long as you share that with your date in a timely fashion. If you report an account to Bumble for ghosting, a member of the support team will review it and decide if that person needs a warning or a ban. The app will not tell the person who reported them.
