Simply so, how do you know if someone is inactive on Bumble?
If your match comes up quickly in the stack, then it's a good bet that they have been active recently on the site. If they don't come up until you've gone through hundreds of profiles, then they're most likely inactive.
Secondly, does match show inactive profiles? Match does not have an official “inactive” policy. In fact, although it's clear that you can only reactivate a deactivated account within a year, if you haven't deactivated your account, it seems that your profile will remain active indefinitely – even if you do not pay for a subscription.
Similarly, you may ask, how long until Bumble goes inactive?
30 days
Does the Bumble app need to be active to show location?
When you do go online again and open Bumble, the app will take its information from your Wi-Fi info and from your phone's GPS data. This means that Bumble will always set your location based on where you are actually physically located when using the app.
