Episode Details

Swipe culture is fading fast, especially for Gen Z, as dating apps pivot toward real-world connections. Bumble’s new app, Plans, is leading the charge with low-pressure group hangouts designed to spark friendships—or romance—without the pressure of dating right away. Tinder’s also shifting focus to in-person events, signaling a broader industry trend. Bumble’s CEO envisions group meetups as the future of connection, blending AI tools with human interaction to foster more meaningful bonds. While the company’s new direction shows promise, recent earnings reveal a rocky turnaround: revenue is down year-over-year, and paying users are expected to decline next quarter.
