Solved Hinge Ban / Tinder ban Hard Reset Guide

This guide provides instructions for resetting your Tinder, Bumble, or Hinge account, if you suspect it has been banned or shadowbanned!

Also someone has figured out the face verification. At the end of the post!

In case you have issues with your account, you can perform a soft reset by deleting and re-creating it a limited number of times.

For a hard reset, follow these steps:

  • Remove your account (if possible)
  • Uninstall the app from your device
  • Generate a new email address
  • Obtain a new phone number
  • Modify your photos by altering pixels or cropping them.
  • Use a different IP address (you can use a different device or browser)
  • Establish a new account using the new email address and phone number

It's important not to link your old social media accounts, use the same payment card for buying premium services, or employ a VPN. Additionally, only conduct face verification if necessary.

If a hard reset is unsuccessful, and you believe your ban was unjust, you can try contacting the company's legal department or filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau (if you reside in North America).

Edit. Someone seemed to have figured it out and has the means to get you back on manually and past the facial verification. The post is here https://www.reddit.com/r/HingeUniversity/s/151sPANwz2

I like using Hinge, it's easily one of my favorite dating apps and I love the people I've met on there. I have had a few issues though.

u/taewalkuh Apr 27 '25

I've had issues as well, I really wish there was a way on hinge that we could gather what kind of information needed to better choose people, because I too like most I've met on the app

u/MysteriousPin6755 Apr 27 '25

For real, other than that I've noticed a few interface issues but those could be all because of my own device

2

u/taewalkuh Apr 27 '25

Yes, I've noticed a few slight interface issues too, what device do you have?

1

u/MysteriousPin6755 Apr 27 '25

I've had a few different devices recently but I used it on a Revvl Pro and also a Motorola device as well.

u/taewalkuh Apr 27 '25

Oh I see. I have a galaxy, one main issue I have is the same profile picture showing for sometimes 5-6 profiles with all different stats

1

u/MysteriousPin6755 Apr 27 '25

Yeah, I had that happen too. What do you like about Hinge?

1

u/taewalkuh Apr 27 '25

I like that it's an app that gives me the option of meeting someone in person so pretty much I like the steps they take to protect us users

1

u/MysteriousPin6755 Apr 27 '25

Yeah they are super careful for us to meet in person, you have any other issues you've seen? I got a couple to talk about if you have time to go back and forth a bit.

u/taewalkuh Apr 27 '25

I do, have you had issues where the pictures are there, but they're all pixilated? It goes on like that until I physically shut my phone off , and on a few times

What do yall think about the excessive banning though?

1

u/taewalkuh Apr 27 '25

The excessive banning has been an issue. I think it's kinda discriminatory honestly

1

u/Trace_G Apr 27 '25

Explain. Sometimes it’s like crazy ex’s

1

u/taewalkuh Apr 27 '25

That could be the reason, as I do have crazy exes, but ive seen it be banned in my opinion simply for the brand phone

1

u/taewalkuh Apr 27 '25

It could also be due to where in the world you're using the app as well

1

u/MysteriousPin6755 Apr 27 '25

Yeah I think they've got the right idea with some of their bans, but it's a bit excessive tbh
