Changing your Bumble location is one of the best ways to explore new matches, connect with people from different cities, and expand your reach. Whether you're planning to travel, moving soon, or simply curious about meeting people from another region, Bumble gives you multiple ways to adjust your location. 

1. Use Bumble Travel Mode (Official Method)

Bumble offers a built-in feature called Travel Mode, designed for users who want to meet people in other cities without physically being there.

How It Works

• Open the Bumble app
  
  

• Tap your profile icon
  
  

• Go to Settings
  
  

• Select Travel Mode
  
  

• Search and select the city you want to appear in
  
  

Benefits

• 100% legal and safe
  
  

• Shows a small Airplane icon on your profile
  
  

• Updates your location for 7 days per activation
  
  

2. Switch Location Using a VPN (Smart Method)

If you want to appear in a different location without using Travel Mode, a VPN can help. A VPN changes your device’s virtual location, allowing Bumble to detect a new region.

Steps

1. Download a trusted VPN (NordVPN, Surfshark, ExpressVPN, etc.)
   
   

2. Connect to the city or country you want
   
   

3. Open Bumble and clear cache (Android) or restart the app (iOS)
   
   

4. Bumble will refresh your location based on IP
   
   

Pros

• Works for free trials
  
  

• Lets you browse global regions
  
  

Cons

• Not 100% accurate
  
  

• Bumble may rely on GPS more than IP
  
  

3. Manually Change GPS Location (Advanced Method)

For users who want complete control over their exact map location, GPS spoofing apps can help.

How It Works

• Install a GPS spoofing app (Android-friendly)
  
  

• Enable Developer Options
  
  

• Choose Mock Location App
  
  

• Pin the exact location you want in the app
  
  

• Open Bumble — your map location updates
  
  

Warning:

This method works best on Android; iOS devices often require jailbreaking, which is not recommended.

4. Use Bumble Web in Browser for IP-Based Location

Bumble Web (desktop version) often uses IP address instead of GPS.
If you use Bumble on a PC or laptop with a VPN connected, your Bumble location may adjust automatically.

Tip:

Use Chrome or Firefox with a good VPN extension for smoother results.

5. Disable Location Permissions Temporarily

If you want Bumble to stop updating your real-time location and use your last set location:

Steps

• Go to your phone’s App Settings
  
  

• Select Bumble
  
  

• Tap Permissions
  
  

• Turn Location off
  
  

Bumble will now display your last saved location, helping you maintain privacy.

Best Method for 2025?

If you want the easiest, safest, and most stable method, choose:

• Travel Mode (Official)
  
  

• VPN + Bumble Web (Alternative + Free trials)
  
  

For perfect accuracy, GPS spoofing (Android) is the strongest but requires more setup.

Final Thoughts

Switching your Bumble location easily helps you meet new people, explore international matches, and prepare for travel. Whether you're using Travel Mode, a VPN, or GPS spoofing, choose the method that best fits your goal.
