?? Time to shout out your work bestie! ?? At Bumble Inc., we’re all about making meaningful connections beyond just dating. Since launching one year ago as a standalone app, Bumble For Friends has been helping people from all over create lifelong friendships. And since today is International Friendship Day, we want to put the spotlight on the incredible bonds we form with our work BFFs! Did you know that having a close friend at work can significantly boost your job satisfaction, productivity, and overall well-being? A 2022 Gallup study has shown that employees with strong workplace friendships are seven times more likely to be fully engaged at work and enjoy their day-to-day tasks more. And there’s more! According to a 2024 Bumble For Friends survey*: ??More than three-quarters (76%) of respondents shared that having a work bestie has reduced their work-related stress. ??77% shared that their work bestie has helped them get through tough times at work. ??Half of respondents went as far to say that they would quit their current job if it weren't for their work bestie! ??71% currently have a work bestie from a different generation, and 68% say it’s been great for their growth. ??55% believe that remote or in-person, work friendships are just as strong! So, tell us – who’s your work BFF? Tag your work bestie in the comments and share what makes them so special. Tell us how they brighten your day, support you, and make work more enjoyable. We want to hear all about the amazing friendships that make your work life more meaningful, so let the shout-outs begin! ?? #InternationalFriendshipDay #WorkBestie #BumbleForFriends #FriendshipGoals *Research was commissioned by Bumble For Friends and carried out online by Censuswide from July 15th, 2024 to July 19th, 2024. Surveys were conducted within the US amongst a sample of more than 2,500 adults aged 18-35.

?? In an era where AI-generated images are becoming a bigger part of our online interactions, we’re dedicated to using AI responsibly and addressing any challenges that come from its misuse. This month we launched a new option under Bumble’s ‘Fake Profiles’ reporting menu, allowing our users to report profiles they suspect are using AI-generated photos and videos. We see this as a win for authenticity – something daters are telling us they want more and more of! ?? In a recent survey* conducted by Bumble, 71% of Gen-Z and Millennial respondents said they believe there should be limits on using AI-generated profile pictures and bios on dating apps. This feedback inspired our new feature, helping everyone assess the authenticity of their connections. ?? This is just the latest in our efforts to harness the power of AI to foster healthy and meaningful connections online. Earlier this year, we launched Deception Detector?, an AI tool designed to identify and weed out spam, scam, and fake profiles. Within the first two months of its launch, reports of spam, scam, and fake profiles were reduced by 45%! Before that we launched our AI-powered Private Detector? tool that automatically detects and warns users about potentially lewd images. We’re also leveraging the power of machine learning to improve user safety across our portfolio of apps – we launched AI Group Photo Blur on Badoo on Badoo earlier this year. With this feature, members can upload group photos easily without having to worry about their friends’ privacy; users can also feel safer in easily identifying who they are matching with.

On June 27th, the U.S. Supreme Court dismissed a case which threatened to undermine the protections provided by the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA), including for pregnant people who may need emergency abortion care. While the decision is not a clear victory, it does offer a temporary sigh of relief for people in Idaho. Still, in states with abortion bans or restrictions in place, as Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote, “pregnant people experiencing emergency medical conditions remain in a precarious position.” We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again - abortion is healthcare, and healthcare is a human right. Bumble was proud to stand alongside Levi’s, Match Group, Lyft, Yelp, the Women’s Chamber’s Chamber of Commerce and others to submit an amicus brief in the Moyle case, arguing that reproductive healthcare restrictions are bad for the economy and bad for business. While this brief provided a perspective from businesses, the reality is an overwhelming majority (86%) of people* support protecting access to abortion related emergencies. In the midst of what feels like sustained attacks on women’s rights, we remain steadfast in our support of an individual’s right to make their own reproductive choices. When your ability to choose if, when, and how to have children is taken away, so is your bodily autonomy. This could not be more true than when pregnant people face medical emergencies. At Bumble, we believe in the right to choose, and to exercise control over our bodies. The safety, privacy, and freedom of family planning are critical to equality for all — and that includes equitable access to abortion care. We will continue to speak out—and speak loudly—against the retrogression of women’s rights. ?? https://lnkd.in/gczizeqf *https://lnkd.in/eynwpm6s
