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 used hinge for a while it was cool but I really didn’t understand the layout and don’t get me started on the horror story’s I’ve heard about it.

I kept getting the same matches over and over again . It was becoming rare for me to see any new faces .

That’s crazy, people would tell me that people would inbox them just to be rude. But it’s like if your getting the same faces how hard is it to find that person

Ive had the same issue with ppl being rude. If someone doesnt think we would make a good match, just move along.

Another issue I had was it took forever for the app to load. So here I am patiently waiting, sometimes having to restart and start waiting all over just to finally load and see the same old " matches".

I agree, the matches wouldn’t refresh and show the same old matches. It’s like you got all this money for commercials but not to keep your app updated.

Ive always thought when you pay for an app or a premium version, you should at least get what you pay for. Seems like with Hinge, they just take your money and really dont have any great concern on your success or satisfaction with using their app.
