Bumble’s paying users are slipping as it bets on an overhaul later this year

Bumble reported Q1 2026 paying users fell 21.1% to 3.2 million, while revenue dropped 14.1% to $212.4 million.

Profits rose as the company cut costs, even as it continued to lose scale in its core dating business.

Bumble said the decline is part of a deliberate reset toward more engaged users ahead of a major product overhaul.

The company plans to launch a redesigned, AI-powered dating experience later in 2026 and expand features like Bee and Bumble BFF Groups.
