Bump Technologies, based in Mountain View, California, operates in the wireless services space through consumer mobile apps. It created the Bump app for iOS and Android, enabling users to exchange contact information and photos by bumping phones together. The company also launched Flock, a Photos Together app that assembles photos from multiple devices into a single shared album. Co-founded in 2009, Bump was acquired by Google in September 2013, moving the business under a larger platform. The Bump suite has amassed more than 80 million downloads and held a position among the top free iOS apps of all time. A January 2022 update for the iPhone app introduced the ability to detect installed apps and share recommendations.
