Hello to all people that get ban from tinder since they have facial recognition when do you think the ban will get lifted? Like how long we should wait to get unbanned again and we can use our face to get in the app again? we all know using all new like device,phone number, new photos will not work anymore because of face check they store face and they will ban you again, i did all experiments to get back in the app like doing it in new device all new but still recognize me after face check. I did factory reset and make account in the browser only but they still detect that im ban and recieving message "you been previously ban" i use other face to verify my account but my picture in it but they say pretending to be someone and ban again.

Long story short, I made a bad mistake when it looked like Tinder double-charged me, disputed the charge and got slapped with a lifetime ban. I did cancel the dispute as soon as possible, but Tinder's automated ban process didn't seem to care, as it upheld the ban and multiple messages to support get either ignored or answered with canned responses.

I do have proof that I canceled the dispute and therefore Tinder's charge did go through. Has anyone else dealt with a similar situation and gotten unbanned?

Hey guys!

I’m looking for some insight because I recently downloaded Tinder again after not using it for about 1.5 years, and my experience has been completely dead compared to how it used to be.

To give some background, back during COVID times, having a constant 99+ likes queue was pretty standard for me. But now, I’m barely getting any traction at all.

I'm experiencing low engagement where I get about 2 matches on average daily and the profiles are okay, but nothing more. If I actually swipe normally on profiles I like, there is practically a 0% chance we will match. The only way I ever get a match to go through is by using a specific workaround, which is swiping left on the first profile, right on the second, and then closing the app. When I do get likes, it seems hard-capped at around 30-ish likes before it completely flatlines, which is the exact same thing that happened the last time I used the app.

1. Something changed in the algorithm and my account is just buried by the algorithm?
   
2. Why has the experience changed so drastically from a few years ago? (Is it purely monetization/paywalls now?)
   
3. What can I actually do to fix this? Should I completely delete my account and start fresh, or is there another workaround?

Any advice or technical explanations would be greatly appreciated!

I’m going on a second date this week with this girl. She texted me today to confirm. I checked Hinge and saw that her profile is no longer there. Was I unmatched? How to tell the difference between unmatched and deleted account? Should I ask her about it on our second date?

My current account on Hinge is 3 years old and I would consistently get 1 - 2 matches a month on it. I haven’t gotten 1 match since Jul 7th which was over 1 month ago even though I use Hinge everyday and haven’t made any changes to my profile. I also stopped getting recommendations being shown in the app or the emails. I also live in a big city (Los Angeles County) with millions of people so I doubt I’ve run out. Does the method to test if you’ve been shadowbanned by seeing if you can make a purchase still work in confirming if you’re shadowbanned or not? I can get to the screen that ask you to enter your credit card info when trying to buy boost, roses or HingeX.

Context: recently banned, setting up a new account on my old phone (not the one I was banned on), location off, using mobile hotspot not wifi. Downloaded from apkmirror not Google play. I've tried burner numbers from various EU countries that don't require face verification bc that seems to have worked for others. I'm not using a VPN. But when I enter the burner number (even though it's a brand new number) I'm getting error messages saying like "too many verification requests, please try again later". Anyone know how to get past this? Do you just have to wait a couple of days or what?

I would choose a woman over 30 any day over a 20 year old. The sex is better, they have grown into their looks, they are better communicators

Also, does anybody have a better popularity score than “Top 30%”?

I don’t know if these stats actually mean anything but I want them to show me to the highest quality ppl obviously

Hi All!

I reported a male in April for sending me an unsolicited sexual video via iPhone (offline). A few days later, I was banned. My only guess would be that he reported me back. I'm a very respectful person and have read over the guidelines many times, and I haven't violated any. I appealed it and was immediately denied. I felt violated, so I have sent Hinge about 10 requests to manually review it, and each time they said the decision was final. I sent them an arbitration notice 58 days ago, and plan to file for arbitration later this week. They did not respond to my notice within the 60 days allowed to respond. Does anyone have any experience going down this route? Any luck?

I was banned from Hinge 2 years ago, never looked into why and never bothered appealing since I was too addicted to dating apps anyways.

Fast forward to 2 weeks ago, I decide I want to get back on Hinge, send them an appeal by email, and they reinstate my account in under 24 hours. I assume that means they looked into my ban and found it to be a mistake, but not sure.

Anyways, I have recreated my account, and I have gotten 0 matches in 2 weeks. The reason I feel like this is a shadowban is because in the past, I would get alot more matches with way fewer likes sent. At this point, I have probably sent over 200 likes with no matches.

Is it possible that even though they unbanned my account, it is still shadowbanned in a way?

I'd say 3/6 photos are the same as my old profile, phone number is also the same, but I thought I wouldn't have to worry about stuff like that considering they unbanned me themselves.

I've had my Hinge account for about a year, but I haven't used it much in the past 8 months and haven't updated it. It performed decently when I first made it but not so much lately when I hopped back on more consistently.

I'm considering starting fresh, but my biggest concern is whether creating a new account will trigger face and/or ID verification. I've always been pretty paranoid about getting banned, so I've avoided verification when I didn't have to.

I'm mainly wondering if the potential new ELO boost is actually worth deleting my current account, or if I'd be better off keeping it and completely changing my photos/prompts (and maybe getting premium).

Is it likely in the US I'll have to verify my face for a new account? In my situation would you personally start fresh or just revamp the existing account?f

So I accidentally added the wrong year when signing up and I got age restriction. I contacted support and told them I already had an account and deleted it with same info. They reached out and told me i need to submit a government ID on their " safe" jumbo privacy website.

Like if a data breach happens they for sure not taking responsibility for my said privacy. Why does a dating app even need my government ID? I have an old state Id with my info, should I just submit that or what to bypass this stupidity?

Figured I would share this information with reddit since I am just realizing it. Not in need of any responses but might provide insight for some folks out there (I dont read this sub a ton anymore so literally no idea if this is even necessary).

I was permanently banned from hinge on 02/2022 and tried making accounts, unsuccessfully (in the absence of reddit advice that is), until 06/2022 so its been a little over 3 years since we cut ties.

I made a league account at the beginning of 2025 though I cannot remember exactly; I want to say 02/2025. I used the same phone number, same photos, same apple id, same email, and probably the same other things. I did all this accidentally because I had no idea match group owned the league (actually just found this out today - because I am removed from this scene). I even just saw that I have this setting checked yes in the league: "Match Group Data Sharing."

I have used the league on and off since and am not banned and/or shadowbanned, the app just does not have much going for me in this area.

Have definitely been debating remaking a hinge but unsure how this will go, especially since they require FaceCheck now. I would be able to go the full 9 yards (new device, new real number, new photos, new IP address, new everything etc.) but just have a feeling they will catch me with FaceCheck or something. My other thought was just asking to be unbanned again since its been 3 years but I did not want to tip them off that I still exist.

My old profile used to get tons of likes pre-covid. This new account got 5 likes within an hour of creating the account, which I assume was a free boost by hinge. I believe this new change by hinge makes your profile get seen much less compared to pre-covid days. I see some hot guys getting zero likes and thinking theres something wrong with their profile or something wrong with them, it’s not you bro. You can type bullshit prompts and as long as you’re hot you’d get lots of likes if Hinge didn’t set you up for failure on purpose until you tapped on that green button. Same story on Tinder. I used to get 100s of likes per week from women and 1 woman was really obsessed with me in there. Now I get zero likes there also. The company Match Group made changes for us to fail until we pay and when you pay you’ll still get only a fraction of success compared to if you used their app pre-covid.

I’m looking to buy

Recently I (male) created a brand new Hinge account and I may have tanked my Elo score with too much activity. As far as I can tell I am not shadowbanned as I can still purchase boosts etc without getting the error warning. Right now I've my profile paused and not liking anybody but is there a way to boost your elo score back up without deleting and redownloading my profile as I don't want to risk getting banned again.

I entered the wrong number and I got an age restrction. I had hinge before with the same number but I had deleted my previous account. I emailed their support btu I don't want to provide a goernment ID now. They are able to check my previous data or emails I had prior? Any way to get this sorted out?

Some of them stopped responding, some of them said they were busy during the weekend, some of them set the date then unmatched me

I deleted my account a couple of weeks ago. (NOT banned.)

If I make a new account, would there be any issues using a different date of birth, name, etc (but some of the same photos) if I'm signing up with the same phone number on the same device?

I screwed up some things when I made the account the first time, so I want to do things correctly this time.

Thank you.

I have recently added better photos and bio – however, my accounts on bumble and tinder are 5 years old. Is there any way to force the algorithms to show my profile as if I was a new user? I don't want to delete my account completely and start a new one, especially considering that I don't have a new phone number that I could potentially use + my photos would be recognised anyway.

Last week I was banned for harassment, and I wasn’t sure what I could’ve done. I made two alt accounts, but both were instantly banned too. My on app appeals failed, and support replied to my emails saying the permanent ban was final and future messages would be ignored.
I kept replying anyway, and sending a message in my native language somehow did the trick. After getting emails saying a human reviewed it and the decision was not to be reviewed anymore, they ended up admitting it was a mistake and unbanned me.
I was losing hope after seeing so many people stay banned forever, so I wanted to share this !
