WALL STREET JOURNAL – May 12 – Dating has been transformed during the Covid-19 pandemic as people world-wide embraced online connections more than ever, according to Whitney Wolfe Herd, CEO of Bumble. Instead of connecting, chatting and then meeting in person, many Bumble users in the past year decided to meet over video first before seeing each other in person, introducing a new step to online dating dynamics. Ms. Wolfe Herd said Bumble planned to introduce more features for users that enable them to fine-tune their preferences. She said while the pandemic had shifted many processes in business and consumer habits, the need for relationships is a constant. "We all need connection," she said. "This is something that is never going away."
