The most common way to access Bumble without the app is to use the web or desktop version. Now, you can do this by setting the app aside and logging into your Bumble account from the website.
By default, all mobile devices always open the mobile version of Bumble This happens, both when you open the App on your mobile device and also when you try to open Bumble using the web browser installed on your mobile Phone.
Logging into Bumble is essentially the same on a computer, iOS, and Android, and if you already have Bumble account, takes just a few clicks or taps.
How to Use Bumble Without Using App
You can access your Bumble account without the app from a web browser on your computer. But, if that’s not an option, you can also use your smartphone to access the browser version of Bumble from a mobile device. There is however one issue. The interface will be hard to navigate and the responsiveness of the site won’t be ideal.
Use Bumble Web Mobile Version
1. Install Chrome on your device. If you are an Android user, it’s already on your phone.
2. Open Chrome and navigate to Bumble website (don’t sign in yet)
3. Open the context menu within Chrome and check the box next to “Desktop Site”
4. Reload the page and you should see the desktop version.
5. Log in.
6. Tap on any of the options in the left nav under your profile photo to start using your Bumble account.
As you can notice, the desktop version of Bumble appears small and hard to read. To solve this, switch your Android Phone to Landscape mode and you will be able to have a better view of the website.
So, if you want to access the full interface, functionality, and features of Bumble, you can either visit Bumble on your computer or use workarounds as provided above to use the web/desktop version on your mobile device.
You’ll also notice that when you try to open Bumble without using the app but the browser, Bumble will automatically detect that you have the mobile app and it will redirect you to the Mobile version.
You should know that not all mobile browsers may allow you to make full use of the desktop browser version of Bumble. Try using Chrome or Opera for better results.
Use Bumble Web on Computer

3. Provide your username and password.
4. Click Login. Doing this will take you to your profile page.
What to Do If You Can’t Log Into Bumble
If you can’t log into the Bumble website, it’s likely because your username or password has changed. To log in, you can use your account recovery email address:

2. Select Forgot password?
3. Enter the email address you associated with your Bumble account and send the email.
4. When the recovery email arrives in your inbox, click the link in the message and follow the directions to enter your new phone number.
