Where Does Bumble Store Matches and Messages?
Bumble keeps profiles and connections in your account with the phone holding session cache in a private sandbox.
Last updated
Bumble profiles live server-side. Matches, messages, and subscriptions attach to the account across all three modes. The sandbox holds login session and cached profiles.
Premium features follow the subscription, not the device. Restore purchases or log in to unlock the same plan. Verification selfies re-take per device for trust.
