Bumble icons are pretty extensive, and you need to know what each of them mean to be able to use the app properly.

We’re going to run through the main icons and symbols that you’ll come across when using the Bumble app. That way, you can be sure that you’re always doing the right thing

Blue checkmark

You can verify your Bumble account from within your settings. This lets other users know that you’re a genuine user of the platform and not a catfish.

Bumble Yellow Dot

One of the simplest symbols you’ll see in your Bumble app, a yellow dot next to someone’s profile picture is simply an indication that you’ve got an unread message from that person.

Bumble Yellow Heart

Just like you have Super likes on Tinder, you have SuperSwipes on Bumble, which are indicated by a yellow heart.

This will skip you to the top of the match queue of whoever you use it on, so it’s worth saving them for the right person.

Bumble Grey Pencil

A small pencil next to your profile picture indicates that you can edit your details you’ll see it next to your profile picture, indicating that you can change your profile pic.

Bumble Spotlight

The Bumble Spotlight symbol only shows when you’re actively using Bumble Spotlight, which is a premium feature available for paid users.

When you activate Bumble Spotlight, you’ll be boosted in visibility to other users of the platform, and end up with more matches.

Bumble Green Lightning bolt

A small lightning bolt is a sign of Bumble Boost, the cheapest subscription plan you can opt for of the Bumble paid packages. This gives you access to things like Bumble’s Travel mode.
