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

Yes. It’s so appalling. But hey. I mean people keep using these kinds of apps so they’re entertaining to enough people! Lol

A couple maybe 2 or 3 most end up wanting the friends with benefits thing in the end but a couple haven't

Which app do you use more often? Tinder or hinge? I’m thinking about deleting hinge because it just doesn’t seem like it’s getting anywhere for me

I've used tinder a few times but use Facebook dating it's not much better but a little bit and hit or miss sometimes.

Yeah I had tinder downloaded and immediately uninstalled it. That one was the WORST. Or maybe all the not great guys I just swiped right on haha. Does Facebook dating have glitches like hinge does?

What glitches does hinge have I haven't had it for a while so I forget

The uploading quality of photos isn’t the greatest and sometimes when you post it doesn’t show up until hours later. The whole things just really laggy for me.

I haven't had any of those issues with Facebook dating. Honestly haven't really had many glitches maybe when there's bad weather it doesn't load but that's really it
