Dating app Bumble has banned body shaming as part of updates to its terms and conditions that come into force today.
The popular app, which is known for putting women first , defines body shaming as unsolicited and derogatory comments about someone s appearance, body shape, size or health .
This includes any language deemed fat-phobic, racist, colourist, homophobic or transphobic , according to Bumble.
A team of Bumble moderators will be looking out for any offenders who post body shaming content on either their profile or through the app s chat function.
They will also be working to identify any type of negative language such as discouraging particular people to interact with somebody s profile .
