Following in the footsteps of Snapchat and Instagram Stories, Bumble is the latest mobile platform to offer a video story feature with BumbleVID. Coming soon, the ability to record 10 second videos will add more personality to your online dating profile.
Similar to preceding social media applications, the short video clips will disappear after 24 hours. Relationship seekers can record stories within the Bumble app, which will be posted to their profile and also viewable in the conversations and connections page. You will be able to draw on the video, add geotags and filters, see who watched your videos and total views too. Users also have the option of uploading pre-recorded videos that were still made that day, but won't be indicated as live. BumbleVID will be available to photo-verified users.
