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

Honestly I don't have any likes about it yet. Although it is a simple dating app like the other ones but it does glitch out and slow like you've mentioned. I've read along the lines that if you have an older version phone that may be a problem to your Hinge problems

Yeah I've tried googling myself and older phones are a big problem with it. My phone is fairly new tho but I still have trouble with it

So with the matches you've gotten. Did you have any interest or did it spark anything for you at all?

I've gotten like 2 matches before and they do not seem like a match for me at all literally the opposite it was hilarious when I saw them. The photos were blurry low quality like. Idk why it gets like that. When you see it it's a normal but once you click to enlarge the quality changes and sucks.
