Bumble Rolls Out ID Verification in Dating App Safety Push

Bumble Inc. is adding ID verification to its dating app alongside other new features, an attempt to court safety-conscious younger users who are key to the company’s turnaround plans.

The optional feature is now available in 11 markets, including the US, UK, Australia, France and India, with more to follow, the company said in a statement Monday. Bumble users can filter for ID-verified profiles and also request that their matches complete the verification process.
