Are you wondering if Bumble has read receipts? It's an understandable question, as read receipts are a convenient way to see if someone has read your message. It would also be nice to know if another user sees that you have read their message without responding. Unfortunately, Bumble does not have read receipts. This wikiHow article covers everything you need to know about read receipts on Bumble.

Does Bumble Show Read Receipts?

Neither Bumble nor Bumble Premium include read receipts. Bumble does display three dots when the other user is typing. If a user sees that you are typing, it is fair to assume that you have read the last message.

Bumble does not offer read receipts. It is not possible to see if someone has seen your message, nor is it possible for them to see if you have read theirs.
- Conversations on Hinge also do not include read receipts. Other apps like Tinder and OKCupid allow you to purchase read receipts as an add-on.

Bumble may not have read receipts, but you can still see when another user is typing. Whenever you are typing, the other user will see the same three dots that messaging apps like iMessage display. If someone is typing, they likely read the last message.
