Popular dating app Bumble has crossed the $2 billion spending mark by users worldwide, becoming the second dating app to achieve this feat. The latest report comes from data.ai, the mobile analytics company, which studied Bumble’s success in the dating app market.
What this means for Bumble?
Data.ai’s analysis reveals that Bumble has joined a small group of just 52 mobile apps and games that have reached the $2 billion milestone. This group includes big gaming names like Clash of Kings, Brawl Stars, and Bingo Blitz.
The app’s growth has been notable in key markets including the UK, US, Australia, and Canada.
