Home and work

Bump automatically figures out your home and work from your location history and shows them as badges when you’re there.

Updated over a month ago

The two places you’re most likely to be? Bump usually figures them out for you.

How Bump detects them

  • Home: where you usually spend your nights

  • Work: where you regularly go during the day

On iOS, we use the work address saved in your iOS settings to place your work marker.

How they show

  • Home and work appear as small badges on your pin

  • Badges are only visible while you’re actually at that place

  • Your friends never see your exact address

Want to understand personal visibility? See What are public vs personal vs private places?

When they appear

  • Home usually appears within 5 days (sometimes longer)

  • Work may take up to 2 weeks to show

  • If you move or change routines, updates usually take about 2 weeks

  • If a place is mislabeled, it normally corrects itself after a few days of regular activity

Good to know

  • Your nights on scratch map are a personal place and are only visible to you. Shared nights are visible to you and the friends you spent the night with.
