Summary
Bumble, a dating app, is changing its policy to allow men to initiate conversations, a feature that was previously exclusive to women. The app, launched in 2014, had a rule that only allowed women to make the first move. The change aims to create a more inclusive and relaxed atmosphere on the platform.
