Why am I unable to send friend requests?

Updated this week

Why am I unable to send friend requests on Bump, and how can I resolve it?

If you are unable to send friend requests on Bump, or if your requests appear sent but are not received by others, it could be due to temporary restrictions placed on your account. These restrictions are part of our spam-prevention measures and are triggered when too many friend requests are sent in a short period.

Understanding Friend Request Restrictions

We may temporarily restrict your ability to send friend requests if:

  • You send many requests in a short time frame.

  • We detect unusual activity that resembles spam behavior.

These restrictions are temporary and will lift automatically after some time.

Best Practices for Sending Friend Requests

The main way to avoid these restrictions in the future is to only send requests to people you know in real life.
