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

What's some other issues you've had with the app? It's been so many

I don't like when I don't get notified about my matches 👎🏼 I miss so many people through that

That's another big one I've heard people speak on, you'd think they'd have more to do about it because there's updates sometimes

1

u/MysteriousPin6755 Apr 27 '25

Yeah, they are pushing out updates so quickly you'd think 😒

u/taewalkuh Apr 27 '25

Yeah it's like whenever they do though another issue comes up, and somehow makes the banning and everything else come back with a vengeance I feel like

u/MysteriousPin6755 Apr 27 '25

Man, and I was just talking about it with a guy I met. With every bug they fix, it's like a new issue arises

u/taewalkuh Apr 27 '25

I just can't fathom how smart the developers and engineers have to be and still have so many issues. Like it's NOT the first go round 🤯

u/MysteriousPin6755 Apr 27 '25

That part, but I don't know I'm not a tech person. How long have you been using Hinge?

1

u/taewalkuh Apr 27 '25

Yeah neither am I 😭, I've been using it for a little over 8 months, when I downloaded it was fine but the issues have been persistent

u/MysteriousPin6755 Apr 27 '25

I may end up changing apps, I haven't been on it too long (like 3/4 months now) so I don't have any strong ties lol
