Users of popular dating app Bumble will be banned from the site if they show off a firearm in their profile picture.

Shooting fans in the UK will fall under the ban, Bumble confirmed to The Telegraph, as it tightens its rules after the attack at a Florida school.

Those carrying a weapon who are members of the military, police or another uniformed profession will be exempt from the strict new guidelines.

A spokesperson for the app told the Telegraph that Bumble was "founded with safety in mind" and aims for "respect and kindness."

They explained: "As mass shootings continue to devastate communities across the USA, it’s time to state unequivocally that gun violence undermines our brand values and contradicts all that we stand for.
