"The impact of social media, especially on young women, has the potential to be very harmful."

"The impact of social media, especially on young women, has the potential to be very harmful and we have a responsibility to give our users the power to disconnect on their own terms whenever they see fit," says Wolfe Herd. "We know Snooze will allow them to come back to us feeling refreshed and more open to new connections."

Per a Bumble statement, the dating app recently conducted a survey into 2,250 people and found that over 60 percent of women aged between 18 and 24 felt "overwhelmed by social media."

Bumble's in-house sociologist Dr. Jessica Carbino said social media can give young women "unrealistic perceptions" of "what they should be" and how others perceive them. "These unrealistic expectations may ultimately have negative consequences for their physical and emotional well-being," says Carbino.

So, how does Snooze work? All you have to do is update to the most recent version of the Bumble app. Go to your Settings, and right at the very top you'll spot "Snooze mode." Once you've tapped, you'll be given four options about the duration of your invisibility on the app.

You can choose to be "invisible" for 24 hours, 72 hours, a week, or indefinitely. The app then gives you the option of setting a status for your matches while you're away. This step is optional, however, and you don't need to provide a reason for snoozing.
