Easiest Methods to Modify Your Bumble Location
Bumble normally uses your phone’s GPS location to show matches around you. But many users want to change their location especially for travel, dating abroad, or expanding match options. The good news is: you can modify your Bumble location easily using a few simple methods.
Use Bumble’s Official Travel Mode (Paid Feature)
Bumble offers a built-in feature called Travel Mode, available through Bumble Premium.
How it works:
Go to Settings → Location → Travel Mode
Choose any city worldwide
Set how many days you want to stay visible there
Your profile shows a “Traveling” badge
Best For:
International dating
Planning dates before visiting a city
Frequent travelers
Change Location by Using a VPN (Works for Android & iPhone)
A VPN allows you to set your phone’s internet location to any country. Bumble sometimes uses network location + GPS so this method works best when combined with GPS spoofing (next method).
Steps:
Install a trusted VPN (Surfshark, NordVPN, ProtonVPN, etc.)
Select the location you want (e.g., USA, UK, Dubai)
Restart the Bumble app
Why use a VPN?
Works worldwide
Helps you bypass regional restrictions
Protects your online privacy
Use a Location-Spoofing App (Most Effective Method)
If you want Bumble to believe you are in another city, a GPS faker is the strongest method.
For Android:
Use apps like Fake GPS, GPS Joystick, or Location Changer
Enable Developer Options → Allow mock locations
Select your new GPS pin
Open Bumble — it will update your distance & match area
For iPhone:
iOS is stricter, so use:
iTools Virtual Location
Tenorshare iAnyGo
Dr.Fone Virtual Location
These tools simulate your exact GPS coordinate.
Best For:
Getting matches from specific cities
Testing Bumble options in different regions
Avoiding travel mode subscription
Manually Update Your Location by Traveling With GPS On
If you physically move to a new place, Bumble auto-updates your location.
Steps:
Turn on GPS
Open Bumble
Your profile updates to your current coordinates
Best For:
Frequent travelers
People visiting new cities
Use Bumble Web
If you use Bumble Web on a laptop, the location may change based on your IP address instead of GPS.
How to modify:
Open Bumble on your browser
Connect your laptop to a VPN
Select your target location
Refresh Bumble Web
This sometimes updates your match area instantly.
Which Method Should You Choose?
Best Overall Method:
✔ GPS Spoofing + VPN (works globally, no subscription needed)
Fastest Official Method:
✔ Bumble Travel Mode (paid)
Free Method:
✔ VPN or Bumble Web trick
Final Thoughts
Changing your Bumble location is easy if you know the right tools. Whether you want to explore matches overseas, travel safely, or just try a new city, these methods help you update your location in minutes.
