In response to recent concerns about Facebook’s handling of user data, Bumble has announced it will drop its Facebook login requirement for users. The dating app will allow users to log in and register for an account using a phone number beginning tomorrow, according to a new report from Wired.

The decision comes days after Mark Zuckerberg testified before Congress to answer questions surrounding the recent Cambridge Analytica data privacy scandal. The London-based dating mining firm, which was hired by the Trump campaign in 2016, improperly obtained and used Facebook data to target potential voters.

They were probably forced to do so given the new Facebook API rules limiting what data is shared.
