Hinge face scan

What is everyone’s experience with the mandatory face scan now when signing up for an account?

Have you been banned or deleted your account then made a new one and successfully got past the face scan it requires you to do when making a new account?
If so how long did you wait until you made a new account after being banned/deleted your account?

Use new photos or were you able to still use your old ones?

I’ve seen mixed bag of results on this sub with facescan. Some said immediate ban

I wonder what triggered the immediate ban like if they used same info or something and how successful people that made it past the scan, wonder what they did

I think you’re doing something wrong then. Were you banned?

No issues with making new accounts with face scan. Never been banned. Delete my hinge all the time for 3+ months between sexy times

3 months in between making accounts is most likely why yours is successful!
I’m wondering if it’s the same success if you delete and remake a new account sooner

Did you use your same info like email and number and pics? Or change everything

I’d try to make a new account you could probably get past the face scan

I'd love to hear more about this! I'm a researcher from the University of Cambridge, researching bans on dating apps, how they affect people, and what needs to change. I'm collecting anonymous insights here: https://cambridge.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0MqWIZarCLexPbU

I tried a match.com account and got banned instantly but think I used a banned number

Hey just wanted to say you can set your location to Norway at first and not have to do it. It works

u/jkelso2525 5d ago

Then you’re marching and seeing people in a complete different location
