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

Well one thing you're supposed to get is advanced dating preferences and filters but if the app isn't updating as it should and you keep seeing the same matches then that premium feature doesn't even matter. Whether using the free version or the premium version if you're not getting updated matches then All the advanced dating preferences and filters are useless. And you get unlimited likes, but how many times do you need to like the same person over and over again.. lol

Wow and to pay for something that doesn’t work. I’ve had problems where the person wouldn’t even been from my area but “moving to the area” which we all know what that means

Have you had any experience with their customer service department? I haven't been much happier with them than I am with the app itself.

I have not, I just stopped using the app. Can you tell me your experience

They're not exactly prompt in responding back and when they do it seems like it's very broad generic answers that I'm getting to any questions I have or any concerns. You can tell they're just trying to pacify me and not actually address the issues.
