Users can now filter people by star sign on Bumble and Thank U, Next Geminis

New year, new relationship?

Well, if that’s something you’re hoping to find yourself this year then listen up. When it comes to dating apps, you might think it’s all about luck but there are tonnes of things you can do to increase your chances of finding the perfect match (apparently the most traffic on the app is on a Sunday, FYI). There are plenty of filters you can apply to refine the matches you get and find someone who's right for you and if you're someone who's into astrology the new feature that allows users to connect with their favourite star signs has now been made available. via GIPHY According to astrology, certain star signs work better romantically - Taurus is said to be compatible with Virgo and Pisces, Cancer with Pisces and so on and so forth. If this is something you care about, you can filter searches in the 'advanced filters' tab. The update was rolled out last month and since then people are overjoyed that their new match could indeed be written in the stars.

The creators of Bumble stress that it is a unique dating app as they state:

"When members of the opposite sex match on Bumble, women are required to make the first move, shifting old-fashioned power dynamics and encouraging equality from the start."

So, which star signs will you be hoping to match with... and more importantly, which ones will you be avoiding?!
