what is a hinge ban

If you're banned from Hinge, you'll know it. As soon as you try to open your account, an alert will pop up explaining what's happened. But what does that mean and what can you do about it? Keep reading to find out.

### Getting shadow banned or warned

Sometimes a ban happens without warning, and sometimes you know you're on thin ice. If an official warning comes through, take it seriously. Getting banned and needing to start over with a new Hinge account is a big hassle, and you want to avoid that if at all possible. So make sure you understand what behavior you're being warned about and don't do it again!

A shadowban is trickier because it doesn't come with any official information. Instead, you may notice that you're not getting matches or messages like you used to. There are a lot of reasons your profile might start getting less attention, but if you have reason to believe you've upset the Hinge app, a shadowban is a possibility. You'll want to be on your best behavior so it doesn't become a full ban.

### Fully banned from Hinge

When you're fully banned from Hinge, they'll let you know. You'll immediately get an alert telling you what's happened, and you'll lose all access to your matches, messages, and any other data in the app.

### How long does a Hinge ban last?

A Hinge ban is permanent. It's not a temporary time-out, so unless you can successfully talk the app into reinstating your account, the ban is forever.

## How do you get banned from Hinge?

Knowing how you get banned from Hinge can help you figure out how to avoid getting banned! While there are a lot of ways you can find yourself on the wrong side of the app, below are some of the most common issues.

### Breaking the rules

Breaking the Hinge terms of service, going against community guidelines, or getting reported by other users are the most common forms of bad behavior that lead to a ban. Regardless of which of those categories you fall into, the most common problems are:

* Hate speech
* Harassment
* Sexually explicit content
* Offensive language
* Fake accounts, supplying false information, or catfishing
* Solicitation, requesting money, or promoting services

Remember, if another user decides to report you, Hinge is going to take the report seriously, so don't get on anyone's bad side. If a conversation isn't going well, you're better off just unmatching and moving on, rather than trying to win an argument at the risk of getting banned.

### Third party apps

Trying to cheat the system or use shortcuts? It's probably not worth it. While there are many third party apps making big promises about what they can offer you, the most likely outcome is losing your Hinge account.

Hinge, and other dating apps, are pretty smart these days. And their systems are likely to notice if you install software that's trying to work around their protections. Most of these apps are likely to backfire (or be a waste of money) and are best avoided.

How do you get banned from Hinge?

can you get unbanned from hinge

Can you get unbanned from Hinge? It's not impossible, but it's tricky. Unlike many apps, Hinge had recognized that bans can happen by accident, or because of false complaints, so they've created an official appeal process to get unbanned from Hinge. Read on to learn what that looks like (but remember it's a long shot.)

The good news is that even if you can't get your existing account unbanned, you can always start over with a new Hinge account. And we'll tell you how to do that, too.

### Hinge ban appeal

You can contact customer support and plead your case, but it's notoriously difficult to get a banned Hinge account back. Hinge has a moderation team, and if they've taken a look at your actions and decided you're out, you're unlikely to get that decision reversed. That's because most often, they have a legitimate reason for their decision. However, in case a ban happens in error, there is an appeals process.

Unlike other apps, when you're notified of a ban, you'll also get a link to an appeals submission form. Make sure you follow all of the instructions on your appeal submission, because you only get one shot at this.

Carefully complete all of the information they request, and tell your side of the story in detail. If you think the ban happened by accident, say so. If it's because of an incident with another user, make sure you explain the situation calmly. Remember, you need to sound like a person they *want* to have on their app.

Once you submit the appeal, you'll get a confirmation email, and you can keep an eye on the process from there.

### What not to do

Remember, if you're already been banned, you need to be on your best behavior. You're not going to get unbanned from Hinge by harassing match group employees on social media or by sending the same message to every email address you get your hands on. Go through the legit Hinge support process and leave it at that. A lot of popular dating apps are owned by the same company, so if you get on their bad side you can get banned from more than one dating app!

### Start over with a new Hinge account

Most likely, you're going to need to start over by creating a new Hinge account. To do that, you need to start by removing all trace of your existing Hinge account, and then start completely fresh with a brand new account — including all new account information.

That means every piece of information you used before needs to be new, whether it was an Apple id, Google play account, or something else. Luckily, you can get a new Google voice number or even a new sim card if necessary, and that will help make sure you've got a new device id and won't be recognized as a banned user by the app.

tinder ban what does it mean to banned on tinder

First of all, what even is a Tinder ban? Can the dating app really just decide to ban you? The short answer is yes, you can get banned from Tinder and it's a pain in the butt, so it's best to avoid if at all possible.

Unlike a shadowban, if you're banned from Tinder you'll know it, because a screen will pop up when you try to open your account. They may give you a reason, such as claiming that you've broken Tinder's terms, and they'll also let you know that there's no appeal option.



Tinder ban, what does it mean to banned on Tinder?

why did i get banned from tinder

It should be obvious, play by the rules and you'll stay out of trouble. But sometimes people get carried away and before they know it, they're facing the consequences.

The number one way to avoid facing Tinder bans is to make sure you're following the Tinder community guidelines. This includes things like not soliciting commercial sexual services or sharing any sexually explicit content. (That's right, your eggplant doesn't belong on Tinder!)

You can also end up with a banned account if your behavior gets you reported by other Tinder users. Again, this is often for breaking community guidelines, but it can also be for generally creepy behavior, so watch what you say. Other no-nos include hate speech or threatening physical harm.

Aside from these obvious things (which we hope you were already aware of), there are some sneakier ways to get banned on Tinder, such as taking advantage of third-party apps or trying to use multiple accounts at once. Tinder tracks these things and they'll assume you're up to no good. So your best bet is to simply use the Tinder app the way it was intended — and if you try anything else, you're doing so at your own risk.



Why did I get banned from Tinder?

how to get unbanned from tinder

In general, if Tinder has banned your account, it's a permanent ban. But that doesn't mean it isn't worth at least trying to make a Tinder ban appeal through the Tinder support system — especially if you think the ban really is a mistake. Their appeals process isn't easy and rarely works, but a ban appeal is still the best first step because all the other options are more complex.

### Start over with a new account

If your appeal fails, your only hope is to start fresh with a new Tinder account. But beware, they're looking out for fake accounts and spam accounts and that means they're tracking not just usernames but also the device and even the IP address that you're using. That means if you want to start from scratch, you'll need:

* A new phone or new device — with a new phone number


	+ Or at least a new device ID/sim card
* A new payment method (if you had a paid Tinder subscription like Tinder gold)
* A new IP address
* New Facebook account or new Google account

If you're ready with all of the above items and still want to create a new account, here are the steps you need to follow:

1. Completely uninstall Tinder and delete Tinder from your device
2. Make sure all traces of your old account are gone (don't just uninstall with the cache stored on your phone, really delete the data!)
3. Start with a different device that you've never had Tinder on before, or if you need to use the same device, make sure it's fully reset with a new sim card and device ID
4. If you're using the same wifi, reset your router so you'll get a new IP address
5. Download Tinder onto the new or reset device
6. Sign up with a new phone number, new social accounts, and new email address
7. Upload new pictures so the robot doesn't recognize you
8. Create a new Tinder profile with a new bio
9. Start swiping!

### Bonus tips when starting over

We know using a different device isn't always possible, so here are a few tips that might work if you're trying to use what you have already.

* Create a new phone number on your existing device by using services like Google voice that allow you to make and port an additional phone number onto your device.
* Get a new Apple id or Google play account to use as your Tinder account login
* If all else fails, switch to one of the other dating apps!

what does it mean to be banned from hinge

When you're banned from Hinge, you'll no longer have access to your account. Unlike with a shadowban, there's no question about whether your account has been outright banned. You won't be able to log in and see your profile — instead, you'll get a message letting you know your account was banned.

You won't have access to any of your matches or messages — so this is a good reminder to get the phone number of the people you're talking to, or at least move to a more reliable chat platform, or even to social media like Instagram.

### How long does a Hinge ban last?

Unless you can get Hinge to accept your appeal (detailed below) then a Hinge ban is permanent. A ban is considered a final step once Hinge has determined a user isn't welcome on the platform, whether their profile was evaluated by a human or flagged by the algorithm.



What does it mean to be banned from Hinge?

why was your hinge account banned

If your ban was a mistake, it might be difficult to avoid having it happen again. But it's still worth making sure you give the Hinge terms another look to make sure you're not breaking any of the rules by accident. And it's also a good idea to make sure you're not engaging in any behaviors that make the other users made enough at you to report your account.

You're on the app looking for potential matches, not enemies!

Here are some general guidelines to follow:

* Remember that the first line of defense on the app is robotic, so details can be missed. Avoid posting any links (especially to pay sites like Venmo.) It doesn't matter what good cause you're fundraising for, the robots will assume you're soliciting for something illegal.
* Keep your content PG-13. Don't post any naughty pictures as part of your profile and don't send anything explicit via message either. Users regularly complain about these kind of messages and you'll definitely get reported.
* Play well with others! Don't say anything on the app you wouldn't say at family dinner with grandma.
* Avoid looking like a spammer or fake account — and that means don't send the same message to all of your matches. That's the kind of thing it's easy for the algorithm to catch and it makes your profile look suspicious, which can lead to a ban.
* Use dating apps for their intended purpose, and don't try to hack the system. Don't automate anything about your dating process and don't rely on third party apps.
* If you've gotten banned and needed to start over, chalk it up to one of those life experiences you're able to learn from, so you don't need to repeat the same mistakes again.


Why was your Hinge account banned?

how to get unbanned from hinge

If you find yourself with your Hinge account banned, here's what you can do about it.

### Try an appeal submission

If there's a silver lining to this situation, it's that dating apps are starting to realize they've got a ban problem. Many users, including trans people, have reported being banned as part of harassment campaigns, rather than for violating any community guidelines.

While the companies aren't acting fast enough, the moderation team will sometimes take a look at accounts that were banned through an automated process, and an appeals submission form can even be accessed if you contact customer support.

An appeal is your best first step, especially if you think you weren't banned for a legitimate reason.

### Make a new Hinge account

If your appeal doesn't work, your only option is to make a new account. And doing that is kind of a hassle, so buckle in.

For starters, you'll need different information for signing up than you used the first time. The most common way that people get a Hinge account is with their phone number, so you'll need to start with a new phone number.

The good news is that a new phone number isn't too hard to get these days. You won't need a new phone, you can simply use a tool like Google voice to get a new phone number that you can run on your same device.

Next, you'll need to set up your profile using all new information to help make sure you don't get banned again. Remember, if you were dinged because of user reports, you don't want your account to be immediately identifiable as the same person. That means creating an all new Hinge profile with new Hinge prompt answers, new pictures, and new social accounts linked — if you choose that option.

its a tinder bug

When your Tinder matches disappear, the best possible reason is a Tinder bug. Because if it's a Tinder glitch the problem is likely a temporary issue that will resolve itself without any serious effort on your part.

Because this is the easiest answer, it's also the one you should test first. Try logging out of your account and then logging back in again. And if your Tinder app is out of date, try updating it before you log back on.

Hopefully you'll discover this was a temporary bug and your matches will reappear shortly.



It's a Tinder bug

your tinder match unmatched you

Although frustrating, being unmatched is the most likely reason your Tinder match disappeared, if you've already established it's not a bug.

Remember, anyone can unmatch at any time, for any reason. And that means a Tinder match disappearing isn't something to take personally.

Someone might unmatch because they've met someone else because they don't have time to date right now, or for any other reason you'll never guess. Don't waste time wondering where they went, just spend your time swiping on other profiles or messaging a different Tinder match.



Your Tinder match unmatched you

your matchs tinder account was deleted

Similar to being unmatched, it's possible your match deleted Tinder. And if your match deletes their account, there's really nothing you can do about it. There's also no way to know for sure if that's what happened.

So just like the possibility of being unmatched, someone deleting Tinder isn't worth losing sleep over. Just continue flirting with other people and next time, maybe try to get your match's phone number sooner.



Your match's Tinder account was deleted

your match was a fake profile

Unfortunately, Tinder is vulnerable to bot advertising — just like every other corner of the internet. So if your match seemed too good to be true, it's possible they were never real in the first place.

If you never got as far as exchanging messages, it's difficult to tell whether this is the problem. But most bots can't carry on an interesting conversation, so they tend to be obvious once you get that far.

## 



Your match was a fake profile

can you get your lost tinder match back

Unfortunately, when a match disappears on Tinder, they're usually gone for good.

As tempting as it might be to get your Tinder match back, it will take a lot less effort to simply make a new connection with a new match and move on.

And if your Tinder match disappeared because they deleted their account (or got banned) there's absolutely nothing you can do in the Tinder app to find them.

### Start a new account

If you really can't live without your lost Tinder match, your only option is to start over with a new Tinder account and hope you'll find them again. Remember, this only works if they're still on the app — which means they likely unmatched you on purpose. So there's no reason to think they'll swipe right the next time your profile crosses their screen.

But if you're determined to go this route, follow our complete guide to [resetting your Tinder account](https://roast.dating/blog/tinder-reset-guide) here.



Can you get your lost Tinder match back?

avoid losing tinder matches

The best way to protect yourself from Tinder matches disappearing is to get their contact info asap. Remember, once you've matched then Tinder is just a messaging app — and there are better platforms for sending messages.

Let your match know that in your experience, The tinder app is kind of glitchy and you'd rather chat somewhere else. If they don't want to exchange phone numbers right away, you can also use their favorite social account, like Instagram or Twitter.

what is a bumble shadow ban and is it real

The idea of a shadow ban is simple — rather than simply banning users, the platform simply makes it harder for other users to find them or their content. This can mean anything from suppressing your visibility in search, limiting views to users who already follow you, or making you essentially invisible.

Every platform has its own version of the practice, and since most keep their policies a secret, there's a lot of speculation online about how exactly shadow bans work. We talk extensively about the Tinder version in [our article about Tinder Shadowban](https://roast.dating/blog/tinder-shadowban). That couold help you understand the case better.

So does the Bumble shadowban exist? According to Bumble, no. In a [blog post](https://bumble.com/en/help/am-i-penalized-for-deleting-profile), they claimed that there's no such thing as a Bumble shadowban.

But that hasn't stopped plenty of Bumble users from being sure that's the problem when they stop getting Bumble matches, especially after they've tried improving their Bumble profiles along with other possible solutions.



What is a Bumble shadow ban (and is it real?)

how to test if you are shadow banned

Before you do anything drastic like deleting Bumble and making a new account it's worth making sure that a Bumble shadowban is really the problem you're having.

Here are some things you can do to test whether you're dealing with a Bumble shadowban, or whether you're having a different problem.

**Swipe for a while and see if you get any new Bumble matches.** If you're dealing with a Bumble shadowban, you'll get zero matches. So if it's just that you're getting fewer matches than usual or fewer than you'd like, you're dealing with a different problem.

**Try using Bumble coins, Spotlights, and SuperSwipes.** It's possible that you just needed a little boost to get matches and while it can be annoying to rely on paid features, sometimes they really do make a difference.

**Give it time.** As we explain below, sometimes there just aren't that many users in your area and you need to wait a little while for the dating pool to get bigger before you can land another match.



How to test if you are shadow banned

how long does the bumble shadow ban last

Because Bumble says there is no Bumble shadowban, that means we're just guessing at the details. Unfortunately, the users who have researched this issue haven't come up with a definitive answer. Answers online range from one week, to two months, to the ban being a permanent issue.

Starting over with a new Bumble account is a big enough hassle that it's worth waiting a while to make sure the problem doesn't go away on its own. Especially if you live in an area that dosn't have a ton of Bumble users, you may find that simply waiting a while means that new users show up for you to match with.

Give Bumble a break for a little while, focus on other things, and if you must, spend time on your Tinder account for a while instead.



How long does the Bumble shadow ban last?

the reasons why you might be shadow banned on bumble

There are a few things that are likely to get you into trouble on Bumble or on other dating apps.

The first reason you might be blocked, banned, or warned is if you send inappropriate or creepy messages and get reported by other users.

Be sure to take a look at the terms of service for whatever site you're using and follow all the community guidelines — it's a lot easier to stay out of trouble in the first place.

Another problem you can run into is creating multiple accounts. This one is kind of ironic because people often create multiple accounts when they're trying to fix a problem, but most dating apps flag your account if you create too many new accounts in a short time.

Bumble and other apps also flag accounts that use third-party apps to hack the system. So if you're doing anything to automatically swipe, automatically send messages, or to try to get paid features for free, you could end up on the wrong side of a ban or other punishment.



The reasons why you might be shadow banned on Bumble

how to reset your account if you have been shadow banned

If you're sure you're dealing with a Bumble shadowban, or if you're desperate enough to delete your Bumble profile and create a new Bumble account, here's what to do:

1. Delete your existing Bumble account
2. Create a new account using new information (depending on how you signed up before.)


	1. New phone number
	2. New email address
	3. New Apple account (iOS) or Google account (Android)
	4. New IP address (restart your WiFi router)
	5. New credit card if you had a paid account
	6. New smartphone device or new sim card (optional)
3. Build a new profile with new pictures (optional)

As you can see, there are a lot of steps here. So it's worth staying out of trouble with Bumble in the first place. Follow the rules and if you get a warning, take it seriously.

This is also why it's worth trying other improvements to your profile before starting over from scratch — you might be surprised by the results you can get by simply [writing a better bio](https://beyondmatching.com/bumble/bumble-bio) or [improving your pictures](https://beyondmatching.com/bumble/bumble-photos).

How to reset your account if you have been shadow banned

can i keep my old photos after bumble shadowbans

Like most things in life, the answer is "it depends." If you believe some of the talk online, especially on Reddit, Bumble is using facial recognition and might recognize your new profile if you use the same photos.

We think that's a bit extreme. But if you want to be on the safe side (and you're committed to using the same photos) then you can download an app or use an online service that will delete the *EXIF data* on your images before you re-upload them to Bumble.

But if you're already going to all the trouble of getting a fresh start, why not use new, better pictures too? Chances are, there's room for improvement in your photo game. It's not your fault, it's just tricky to judge pictures of yourself.

how does the bumble algorithm work

Bumble doesn't share any information about how the Bumble algorithm works, so everything we know is based on research and guesswork done by determined Bumble users. We previously did the job for you [in our article about Tinder's algorithm](https://roast.dating/blog/tinder-algorithm), check it out!

That said, there are *a lot* of determined Bumble users.

Below we've complied what we know about the way the algorithm works, and what you can do to make the algorithm work to your advantage.

### The Bumble algorithm rewards good profiles.

If you're worried about keeping the Bumble algorithm happy, I've got some good news for you. For the most part, the Bumble algorithm works a lot like a real person!

Attractive profiles end up scoring higher, whether the judge is a woman or a machine. So you can use most of the same strategies for success, no matter who you're trying to impress.

We've got a lot of advice on our site about how to make a great Bumble profile, but we'll give you a quick overview here, too.

#### Use good photos

Do you really need us to tell you that pictures matter when you're online dating? A picture is worth a thousand words, and it's also the difference between her swiping left or swiping right.

Start with one or two strong headshots and then fill out your profile with more photos that show your lifestyle and your personality.

Need help figuring out your pictures? Check out [ROAST.](https://roast.dating/quiz/1?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=in-text&utm_campaign=/blog/bumble-algorithm)

#### Don't ignore the text portions

It's not all about the pictures! The bio and prompt sections of your profile are just as important as your photos!

Bumble keeps making it easier to talk about yourself on the app, so if you're at a loss for words just take advantage of their prompts and suggestions and you'll be halfway there in no time.

And if you're really feeling stuck, [we can help you with that](https://beyondmatching.com/bumble/bumble-profile).

### You get out what you put in

Just like those early questionnaires fed into IBM computers in the 1950s, the computer (or in this case the algorithm) can only work with the data you give it.

So to get the Bumble algorithm working for you, you need to give it as much accurate and useful information about yourself as possible.

For starters, you've got all the information you include when you first start your profile, details like your age, your location, your gender identity, and your sexual preference.

These factors are an important starting point — but they're just the beginning.

When you're using Bumble, remember that the algorithm is always watching. It's not just getting the data you intentionally feed into it, like your profile information, it's also paying attention to your behavior on the app.

Every time you swiped left or swiped right, that's another data point. Those swipes are telling the algorithm how you feel about each of those potential matches. It's gathering information about your type — who you find attractive and who you'd like to date.

That means it's worth being selective when you're swiping. If your simply swiping right on every single profile, then you're providing muddy data.

### The judgment starts from day one

Maybe you're eager to start swiping so you decide to wait to properly set up your profile until later. This is a big mistake!

As soon as your profile goes live, Bumble starts paying attention to how other users react to your profile.

If you get a lot of right swipes, the algorithm decides you're a top user. And if too many users swiped left, you drop lower in the match queue.

This means it's important to start off on the right foot. Put thought into your photos and the text of your profile before you go live, so you can take advantage of those early days of your profile being judged.



How does the Bumble algorithm work?

how to increase the accuracy of your bumble algorithm results

Say you've followed our advice so far and still feel like you're not getting the results you're looking for when swiping through Bumble. Don't give up hope! There are more tips and tricks to maximize your matching potential.

### Use the Bumble filter options

One of the ways Bumble decides which profiles to show you is based on how you're using the bumble filter options.

Remember, every tool on the app is there to give you a higher chance of matching with girls who are genuinely a good fit.

Use the filters to make choices like how far you're willing to travel to meet someone and if you only want to see people who've verified their profiles.

To take your filter use to the next level, you'll have to spring for one of the [paid accounts](https://roast.dating/blog/bumble-premium). But when you do, a whole world of options opens up. You can filter profiles based on factors like,

* Drinking
* Smoking
* Pets
* Children
* Astrological sign
* Exercise
* Education
* And so much more...

### Stay active on the app

Bumble, like most dating apps, rewards people for logging in.

No one wants to match with someone who hasn't looked at the app for weeks or months — because that leads to yet another match that just sits there with no message.

This is even more important on Bumble because of the time limit between making a match and sending a message. Unless you pay for more time, that match disappears after 24 hours. So staying active really pays off.

With that in mind, it makes sense that Bumble considers active profiles to be attractive profiles.

Perhaps the best part of this is that it's easy to do. You don't need to commit a lot of time. Just make sure you log into the app once a day, check out a few users and make a few swipes, and then you can set it aside until the next day.

### If all else fails, consider a reset

If you've made mistakes along the way (like swiping with an empty profile) and the improvement suggestions we've made here aren't cutting it, you've got one more option.

Now that you know a new profile is especially important, you can decide to start over by keeping the algorithm in mind from the beginning, therefore setting up your chances to be better the second time around.

Just keep this option as a last resort, because starting over from scratch can be kind of a hassle. If you want to start with a new account on Bumble, you'll have to start by deleting your old account.

Then, to make sure Bumble doesn't consider your account a duplicate, make sure to wait at least 24 hours before setting up a new profile.

When you do start over, remember to build your new profile will all of our best [Bumble profile advice](https://beyondmatching.com/bumble/bumble-profile) in mind.

what is a shadowban on hinge

You hear the term shadow ban these days thanks to social media, but the concept is as old as the public internet, with examples already existing [back in 1980](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_banning)s. In fact, it was a common practice in the early days of Craigslist and Reddit.

The idea is simple: rather than simply banning a user or an account, the platform simply makes the user harder to find. This could mean not showing up in searches, or not having comments appearing publicly.

While something less than having an account removed sounds like a good thing, getting banned this way can be even more insidious — because you can't always tell that's it's happened. Rather than getting a notification that you've been banned, blocked, or deleted, you just notice your engagement numbers slipping over time. 

And you're left wondering, ‘Is it my fault?’, losing confidence and abandoning the idea of getting your dream girl.

However you shouldn’t put everything on the back of the shadowban either, 85% of Hinge users just have terrible profiles and don’t even assume it, we all have blind spots it’s OK. So you better [ask our A.I. ROAST how attractive is your current profile](https://roast.dating/quiz/1?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=in-text&utm_campaign=/blog/hinge-shadowban) before going any further - everything is 100% confidential and based on real hot girls advice.

And even if you’re not part of those 85% you will still get a lot of improvements in your matches, 78% of our readers recommend it.

The concept of a Hinge shadowban is so troubling. There's no obvious way to tell if that's what's going on - except by [using ROAST](https://roast.dating/quiz/1?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=in-text&utm_campaign=/blog/hinge-shadowban) - so any time it seems like you're not getting the likes, matches, or messages you're expecting, you're left wondering if it's you, if it's a technical bug, or if there could be a Hinge ban in place. In fact, Hinge doesn't officially say that they use shadow banning, and some dating experts don't even think this kind of ban is real. Meanwhile, Bumble wrote a blog post saying they don't use a shadow ban.

So is it real? Can you undo it?

What Is A Shadowban on Hinge?

 why am i getting no matches on hinge

Before you jump to the conclusion that you're facing a Hinge ban, consider the other possibilities.

Was your profile getting likes and messages before and they've suddenly stopped, or has your Hinge account never gotten the amount of action you're hoping for?

  
Often by ego we prefer to straightly think about the shadowban, but in the majority of the cases we just have a bad profile for what we are searching for instead, therefore making it look like a shadowban. 

To remove definitely this doubt of your mind you just have to spend 1mn with the most advanced tool of the market, [ROAST](https://roast.dating/quiz/1?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=in-text&utm_campaign=/blog/hinge-shadowban), and he will tell you pixel by pixel what to do with your pictures and bio based on thousands of top profiles analyzed already (all confidential).

If you think you may simply need some help creating a winning profile, you've come to the right place. Our site is full of resources that can help you. Check out our explanation for [why you might not be getting dates here](https://roast.dating/blog/tinder-no-dates).

And to make the most of your Hinge profile, check out our guide to the [best Hinge prompt answers](https://roast.dating/blog/best-hinge-prompt-answers) and our guide to the [Hinge compatible algorithm](https://roast.dating/blog/hinge-most-compatible).



 Why Am I Getting No Matches On Hinge?

how long does a hinge shadowban last

Because this kind of ban isn't official, there are no firm answers from Hinge about what to expect. On Tinder, experts say these bans can occur for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days, depending on what rules were broken and how many infractions there have been.

If you have the luxury to wait that long then this might be the perfect time to upgrade your profile to the next level with entirely personalized advice on your pictures and bio from the greatest experts of the market: [ROAST](https://roast.dating/quiz/1?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=in-text&utm_campaign=/blog/hinge-shadowban). Moreover, those advice will be lifetime reusable advice both for other dating apps and your social networks!

Other sources claim that a Hinge account can be expected to reset in three months. So while that may sound like too long to wait — doing nothing is clearly the easiest solution. So if you're not too attached to Hinge, try spending a few months on other dating apps and then come back to see if the problem has been resolved. But of course don’t make the mistake of using the same pictures on other dating apps, **optimize them first!**



How Long Does A Hinge Shadowban Last?

### Upgrade To A Paid Account

Some users have reported success getting a ban removed, or fixing other bugs, by upgrading to a paid account. And this upgrade can serve two purposes. For one, if Hinge won't let you upgrade, you'll know for sure that there's a problem on their end or a problem with your Hinge profile. And second, the additional features of the upgrade might be just what you need to get out of your rut (whatever the cause) and start getting matches again.  


But paying for having your profile shown more often is still useless if your profile is not optimized. It’s hard nowadays to know what is an optimized profile, so that’s why we created ROAST that helped already 20,000+ persons with their dating life. 

So be sure to [ROAST your profile now](https://roast.dating/quiz/1?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=in-text&utm_campaign=/blog/hinge-shadowban) to **make your profile more attractive in less than 2 minutes.**

By optimizing your profile, you will get more visibility than with any paid plans. The more attractive your profile is, the more the algorithm of Hinge will show your profile to people you like.

### Contact the Customer Support To Appeal

Unfortunately, like other apps, Hinge customer support is notoriously difficult to reach. Especially when it comes to bans, they're unlikely to provide much help.

Still, it's worth trying to get in touch before you do anything more drastic, if for no other reason than to verify whether there's a technical glitch they can fix for you.

In fact, if you report issues with their service, it's always possible they'll have a solution. And in some cases Hinge has been known to give paid accounts or other perks to people who have been banned or faced other problems through no fault of their own.

### Make another account

If you're sure that being banned is the problem creating a new account may be your only option. Just remember that multiple accounts are one of the issues that get people banned in the first place, so if you're going to go that route, you need to make sure the new account is really a fresh start.

Depending on how you signed up in the first place, you'll want to make sure you're using a new phone or device, new number, new Apple id, and new profile on Facebook.

Once you've got your new Hinge account — spend time to create the kind of profile that will make the woman of your dreams curious about you.



How to get around Hinge shadowban?

how to avoid getting banned on hinge again

Feel like you were banned for no apparent reason? It's frustrating because [Hinge](https://hingeapp.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038037334-Why-was-my-account-banned-) won't tell you exactly what got you banned. But an easy guess is that you did something that went against their terms of service, such as trying to maintain multiple accounts or engaging in behavior that got you reported by other users.

If you want to avoid having this problem again, make sure to read up on their [terms](https://hinge.co/terms/), and follow the rules!

what are some good tinder hacks

The secret to getting more Tinder matches is to understand how Tinder works - especially Tinder's algorithm - and to know what women are looking for. There are a lot of different elements to get right, but don't worry —  we'll walk you through them.

You have to understand that some hacks last forever, they are evergreen. And some others are contextual.  They depend on the time of the year, they don't last forever. They depend on some specific hacks we find the Tinder's algorithm and so on!

In this article, I will try to give you both! The main idea to retain there is also that it is a trial and error process.

Let me know your best hacks if you found some too!



What are some good Tinder hacks?

tinder hack 1 make the most of your bio

We start with the basics here. But not so basic since 70% of men don't use (or shitty use) their bio!

People get so focused on their Tinder photos that they don't bother to write a good bio. Lots of people even leave the space blank. This is a waste of an important opportunity to stand out!

Remember that people are moving fast when they're on Tinder. So you need your bio to be easy to skim. Don't make a wall of text. Break up your bio with spaces, bullet points, or emojis. And make sure the most important points stand out.

You can also pack your bio with some keywords that give Tinder's algorithm data to work with, such as your hobbies and interests.

Want to read more about how to write a good Tinder bio? Check out our [Tinder bio article](https://roast.dating/blog/tinder-bio).



Tinder hack #1: Make the most of your bio

tinder hack 2 message when you match

We get it, dating apps work almost like games these days. It's easy to sit and swipe, gathering matches, and never start a conversation.

But if you want to use Tinder to get a date, let alone a relationship, you need to have conversations.

Keep in mind how the app works. When you make a match a notification pops up to let you know. And the other person is getting that notification too. This is a key moment, and not sending a message right away is a missed opportunity.

Rather than waiting for the elusive perfect match, start conversations with all of your matches and see where it goes. You might be surprised what it might lead to.



Tinder hack #2: Message when you match

tinder hack 3 pick the right first photo

Tinder users tend to swipe fast, so you may have only a couple of seconds to grab someone's attention. The first thing she's going to see is your main photo, so it's got to be amazing. Yes, all of your photos need to be good, but the first one is doing the most work.

How do you pick the right shot? Get some help!

Ask your friends to help, and ask some women their opinions if you can. It's hard to be objective about our own image, so outside input is very important here.

You can also get some professional help picking the best photos for online dating.

Tinder hack #3: Pick the right first photo

tinder hack 4 turning matches into dates

Whether you're on Tinder to hookup or to find love, you need to turn your match into a date. To do that, you need to ask the right way.

Keep her needs in mind when you're suggesting a date. Use what you know about her to suggest something she'll enjoy, and that's convenient for her. For example, pick a location that's easy for her to get to. (Like somewhere near her school or her work, if you have that information.)

It's also a huge help to suggest a date that she'll feel safe going on. Some of the best first dates happen in a public place during the day. Remember — you want to suggest a date that's easy for her to say 'yes' to.

Having coffee on her lunch break, near her office, is an easy yes. While you might prefer late-night drinks at your favorite club, remember that's a lot more effort for her and more potential risk.



Tinder hack #4: turning matches into dates

how do you trick the tinder algorithm

Hacking the Tinder algorithm means you need to know how it works. That's why we've spelled it all out for you here, Tinder Algorithm 2022 Decoded.

The short version is this: Tinder rewards users who use the app the way they want them to. Basically, the algorithm can watch user behavior and give an account a boost for things like logging on frequently, swiping and messaging often, and perhaps for taking advantage of more than the free services the app offers. Same with the use of a sophisticated Tinder opener.

Read the whole [article about the Tinder algorithm](https://roast.dating/blog/tinder-algorithm) to learn more about it.



How do you trick the Tinder algorithm?

how do i hack tinder to get more matches

Use Tinder wisely. Remember that it's watching your behavior on the app, trying to learn your preferences. If you swipe right on every single profile, Tinder's algorithm won't understand what you're looking for and the quality of your potential matches may go down.

These behaviors can feed into each other, creating a Tinder death spiral. If you swipe on everyone Tinder starts showing you more people you're not interested in, and you swipe even faster trying to get more dates.

Instead, use Tinder with a strategy from the beginning, remembering that your profile isn't just about the photos you add and the bio you write, it's about your behavior on the app.



How do I hack Tinder to get more matches?

There are two ways to get a free [Tinder boost](https://roast.dating/blog/tinder-boost). First one is to be a gold or platinum user. You will get a free boost every month! Use it wisely as those 30min are likely to bring a lot of likes.

There are optimal times to use your boost. I suggest busy times, like my favorite, sunday evening.

However it can be smart to use it when your targeted niche of women are online!

To get real free boosts, you need to be smarter. Tinder is likely to reward good user with small boosts, for free. You are not directly aware of those boosts, but you can usually see the impact!

In order to know what to do, you should write to us, as we do not want anyone to exploit those loop holes, that would then disappear!

One thing you can do to get one is to message each tinder match at once. This batch of messages will for sure give you a boost, and some new likes within a few minutes. Indeed, updating online conversations will bring active users to the app, which is good for it. And fun! This maybe a great Tinder hack, as there are many variations of this one and it is really free!



How do I get free boosts?

There are several Tinder secret mode available.

First one requires to be a premium user. Once you are, you can chose to have your profile only displayed to people you have previously swiped right on. 

If you don't swipe right on you, they will never see your profile!

You can also hide your profile from all the other users. Useful when you want to take a break. But this may hurt your ranking!



Does Tinder have a secret mode?

It is now possible! You just have to use the contact feature of the app, and select the contact you want to be hidden from. Tap on block contact, and here you go. Useful to avoid friends, family or exes!

This feature had been long awaited by people, and helped re-establish trust between Tinder and its users.

And yes, you can unblock people as easily as you blocked them!



Hide your profile from someone.

the best tinder hack of all

The best Tinder hack is simply using the Tinder app smarter. Like any tool, you need to understand how it works in order to use it properly.

So before you get frustrated with online dating and give up, try following our advice about how to get the app to work for you and you may be surprised by the results.

what is hinge most compatible

More than any other dating app, Hinge prides itself on helping users find real, long-lasting relationships. Rather than viewing swiping as a game, like other dating apps, Hinge wants you to make matches, have conversations, and ultimately "delete the app." That's right, they say the goal of the app is to be deleted.

While this may be catchy marketing as much as company philosophy, Hinge's design does urge quality over quantity.

As part of this effort, Hinge offers the "Most Compatible" feature.

Here's how [Hinge](https://hingeapp.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360011233073-What-is-Most-Compatible-) explains it:


> **Most Compatible Likes Most Compatible**
> 
> 

Clear as mud? While they make it sound straightforward, the mechanics of how the Most Compatible feature works are not transparent. That's why we're breaking it down for you here.



What is Hinge Most Compatible?

how does hinge most compatible work

These days, online dating is all about algorithms. Each of the major dating apps has its own system, and none of them will share the details of the relationship science they're doing behind the scenes.

The Hinge Most Compatible feature uses Hinge's algorithm to determine the most compatible pairs of users on the app.

They also look at demographic information, such as suggesting matches of a similar age, to make sure the potential dates they suggest are a good fit.

They then deliver you a new Most Compatible match every 24 hours — which is also an incentive to launch the app at least once a day, to make sure you're not missing out.

Another step Hinge takes to make sure the Most Compatible feature is accurate, is by asking for feedback from users. Hinge allows users to give private feedback about whether a match was a good fit or not, and then uses that information to improve the system.

If you're curious about dating algorithms, check out deep-dive into the [Tinder algorithm here](https://roast.dating/blog/tinder-algorithm).



How Does Hinge Most Compatible Work?

how accurate is hinge most compatible

Just like the applications used to pair college roommates — the matches are only as good as the data they have to work with. If the data is faulty — either because of the way you filled out your profile, or the way the other person did — the match will be less than ideal.

So, just like a book worm might end up rooming with someone who favors late-night parties, you may see potential matches in your Most Compatible queue and wonder how they got there.

If you find yourself baffled by one or two of your suggested matches, it's time to consider what information you've given the Hinge algorithm to work with.

That said, the statistics on Hinge's success rate are impressive, so it's possible the app knows you better than you know yourself. Even if you're feeling skeptical, give it a chance. You might be surprised how well you hit it off with some of the compatible matches Hinge suggests to you.



How Accurate is Hinge Most Compatible?

take advantage of the most compatible feature

To get the best matches, you need to consider all the information Hinge has about you. Like Big Brother, Hinge is always watching.

Not only do the questions you answer when you first sign up play a role, but the information in your profile and even the women you've swiped on help Hinge figure out who might be your perfect match.

That means you need to be smart when considering your behaviors on the app. Be honest with yourself about what you're looking for, and who you're really compatible with, and then act accordingly.

If your answers and your behaviors are inconsistent, that will muddy the data Hinge's algorithm has to work with and lower the quality of the matching feature.

So don't lie about your hobbies or interests in an attempt to look cool or interesting — this will simply lead to matches that aren't actually a good fit. Instead, think about your genuine best qualities and your real interests, and create a profile that's both flattering AND accurate. Then, watch more matches start to come in!



Take Advantage of the Most Compatible Feature

having problems finding compatible matches

If no one is showing up in your Most Compatible list, there are a few things that could be happening.

For one, it's possible to hit the bottom of the dating pool in your area. Especially if you don't live in a big city, the number of people on the dating app will be limited, and you may exhaust your matches.

The good news is that more people are joining dating apps every day, so just taking a little break — maybe trying another app for a while — and then coming back to check later on may result in more potential matches waiting for you.

The other big problem is if you haven't given the algorithm enough information to work with. Make sure your profile is complete in order for Hinge to pick your matches.

And because they're also assessing your profile based on who likes you, you should be employing all the strategies you'd use for success on any dating site — including making sure all of your pictures are high quality.

what is a tinder ban  unban

A Tinder ban is a full stop to your online dating career on this app. If you misbehave, or are considered as so by Tinder, you have different stages:

**First stage, the shadowban.**

When you are shadowbanned, no one will be able to see your profile but you won't know anything about it.

To know if your profile is at high risks of being shadowbanned, you must absolutely [analyze it with a professional tool](https://roast.dating/quiz/1?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=in-text&utm_campaign=/blog/tinder-unban-guide) that has been trained on thousands of top profiles and ranked by hot girls.

**Second stage, the ban.**

The ban is the action of logging you out. And preventing you from logging back in. In some cases, it is also the plain and simple deletion of your account!

By the way, don't bother to get unbanned if it's to use exactly the same profile. Tinder will notice it, and ban you (again). So take this opportunity to make your best profile ever using scientific and proven methods provided by [the #1 profile review tool: ROAST](https://roast.dating/quiz/1?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=in-text&utm_campaign=/blog/tinder-unban-guide).

If you are banned, you loose all the premium features. You won't be able to use this phone number. That's the Nuke!

## 



What is a tinder ban - unban

how do you get banned from tinder

Reasons for being banned are numerous.  Some of these things might sound obvious, but it's always good to know what to avoid. 

 

Here are some of the things that can get you [banned from Tinder](https://policies.tinder.com/community-guidelines/intl/en):

* Hate speech, racist comments, offensive language.
* Sexually explicit content.
* Harassment.
* Spam - trying to drive traffic to another site.
* Threatening physical harm.
* Fake accounts - don't pretend to be someone you're not, they can spot a fake profile.
* Using inappropriate language.
* Offering commercial sexual services.
* Getting reported by other users - keep in mind what you might be doing that could upset the other person.
* Using tinder for promotional purposes.
* Inappropriate photos, animal corpses, sexual things and so on.

I will add that you should be careful with anything that could be linked to political subjects. Not much to win there, and big risks!

Being a paid subscriber doesn't change the rules — so even if you've got Tinder gold, you still need to follow all of the community guidelines.

### Third-party apps

Many apps have popped to bring so-called new functionalities to Tinder.

Or mostly, to bring things for free (or less money) that are only available in Tinder Gold or Tinder Platinum.

When it comes to automated swiping, it could be seen as OK.

What happens when you hit Tinder directly on its money thingy? Right, they retaliate.

So like any other app, they don't like much that third-party apps plug into their field.

If you want to go this route, pay attention to the app you're thinking of using, and read their reviews. And think very carefully before you give out your credit card number.

Both the dating apps and the third-party apps are always evolving, so keep in mind that it's always possible that Tinder will figure out what some of these apps are up to, and you could end up losing your account!

Using a VPN app or a VPN service is dangerous, likely to bring to the same result.



How do you get banned from Tinder

can you get unbanned  bypass it

You have to understand why you are actually getting banned. Like any social network, Tinder wants to keep its user safe. 

That is why there is no official appeals process. They favor victims as a choice to keep people safe.

That way, they think that they will keep the most offenders out of the network.

Why is it also sometimes so hard to recover from bans? Well simply because of their design! A ban in a company is often someone pushing a big red button that destroys your account!

Even if they wanted, they could not come back on the decision.

I guess you understand now that between the process itself, and the will to guarantee safety, it is often a one way street. And therefore why so many people can be taken in the crossfire and unrightfully get their account banned.



Can you get unbanned - bypass it?

No you cant, but yes.

### Tinder ban appeal

Here what is the current state of the appeal process with Tinder: [There is no formal appeals process](https://www.help.tinder.com/hc/en-us/articles/360009042331-My-account-was-banned)!

However, you an can create your own simple appeal! The idea is to do a polite appeal.

First you need to contact tinder customer service. It is not a super easy task! Like any other app they do not want to be flooded.

It is almost impossible to join the tinder support system on a phone freely, and you can't email Tinder anymore. Instead, use [this form link](https://www.help.tinder.com/hc/en-in/requests/new), but likely to change with time! You can simply Google it otherwise!

![contact tinder support](https://a.storyblok.com/f/149299/1586x568/757d3323d6/contact-tinder-support.png)

And then fill out the form!

![tinder ban appeal process](https://a.storyblok.com/f/149299/1378x1190/623c96e1d0/tinder-ban-appeal-process.png)

Once you are there you need to plead your case. Reach out to us if you need further help. But the idea is to be genuine.

Especially if you did nothing against the community guidelines and you think that your account was just automatically canceled.

But remember: polite appeal.

You won't get an immediate answer but they are usually quite reactive! Wait at least a few hours before anything.

### Make a new tinder after being banned, the hard reset

If an appeal doesn't work, you're going to have to start over from scratch, making sure you provide all new information.

To do that, you need a [completely blank slate](https://roast.dating/blog/tinder-reset-guide) to start from. So, first things first, you need to uninstall Tinder and delete the Tinder app from your phone.

Next, you need to remove any links to your social media accounts like Facebook and Instagram. You'll need to log into these social accounts to delete the connection.

I guess you start to understand that you’d better had put your energy in making a great profile at first instead of wasting your time on resetting your account, especially when [ROAST can do it for you in less than 2min without any risk](https://roast.dating/quiz/1?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=in-text&utm_campaign=/blog/tinder-unban-guide). So think about this for the next time and don’t worry we all have been here.

Now it starts to get tricky. Tinder, and other dating apps, are also tracking your device. So, if it happens to be time for a phone upgrade, great. Otherwise, you'll need to work around this. At least try to get a new device id!

If you're not getting a different device, you'll need a new device id. From my experience, it is easier on an android device.

This will look a little different depending on what kind of phone you have, so you'll need to look up the specifics for your model.

Next, you'll need a new SIM card or a new number. Using a friend's phone number might work if you'll have easy access to confirmation codes that get texted to them. Otherwise, you can try something like a google voice number, potentially from a new google account if Tinder already had your previous account information.

![tinder full reset procedure](https://a.storyblok.com/f/149299/1440x2160/a13aaeab89/tinder-full-reset-procedure.jpeg)

Tinder may also tracks your IP address, so that's another area where you'll need to start fresh. To get a new IP address you can either reset your WIFI router or use a VPN.  Warning with VPN though, can backfire HARD.

I summarized here the process of resetting. Except here you do not need to delete your account.

Once you've reset your information and have a blank slate, you're ready for a new beginning!



faq the most classic questions answered

### Why did my tinder account get banned?

You behaved poorly and the Tinder Team sanctioned you!

More seriously, you may have broken some guidelines, knowingly or not. Even small details in pictures can get you flagged nowadays so [check if this is your case](https://roast.dating/quiz/1?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=in-text&utm_campaign=/blog/tinder-unban-guide) before anything else now.

You may also have fallen in a trap, being considered as a spam account. That's usually the case if you use a VPN service for instance! You get instantly [shadowbanned](https://roast.dating/blog/tinder-shadowban), and likely to be banned.

You can also have been the victim of malicious people. Like I said earlier, it is now common to go after someone this way.

Basically, you can have done one (or several) of those type of actions:

* Playing with the fire: you have tried to be smarter than Tinder technologically.
* You had an issue with other Tinder users. Regarding your bio, pictures or conversations. So make sure to [review your pictures and bio first using ROAST](https://roast.dating/quiz/1?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=in-text&utm_campaign=/blog/tinder-unban-guide) so that you will stand up from the crowd no matter what happens, even making the hottest girls like you.

Be sure the first section, and try to understand what may have happened.

### Don't let people strike first

There is a lot of abuse in the report system. Tinder is still young and booming, so they are not fit yet to filter everything properly.

Be respectful, that's the ground rule.

However, if you have a doubt that someone may try to abuse the system to report you, you may need to take measures first.

* Use the feature to HIDE your profile to potential ex's that may be tempted to not fully let you go.
* In case a conversation goes south, just unmatch the other person, and part ways peacefully.

Those little tips can make a significant difference in your banning chances, also knowing that those of our readers that are using [ROAST](https://roast.dating/quiz/1?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=in-text&utm_campaign=/blog/tinder-unban-guide) have statistically 54% less chances of getting banned, so like them be part of the untouchable top 1% of Tinder men today!

### How long does tinder ban last?

Most likely? Forever. An account banned is usually staying as-is forever, except if the appeal works!

Unlike "Facebook jail" which is used as a temporary punishment for misbehavior, a Tinder ban is usually permanent. Sometimes you get a warning message first, indicating that you may have violated community guidelines. If that happens, take it seriously. You may not get another warning before ending up with a banned Tinder account!

And when they ban your account, you lose everything. All your matches, all your conversations, everything. So the best option really is to avoid a ban in the first place.

So once again, if you make a new account or reset it, please be sure to make things properly this time, or if you are thinking about changing app, please know that all the algorithms are very similar so you should also put more energy in [optimizing your pictures and description before](https://roast.dating/quiz/1?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=in-text&utm_campaign=/blog/tinder-unban-guide).

### How to get back on tinder after being banned

You guessed it. During the previous steps you had to delete Tinder, and that means you need to download Tinder and start over with a new account. Bye bye old account!

Try to view this new account as a chance to do everything better this time. Make a new Tinder profile that's better than your last one. Here are some ideas on how to do Tinder right.

Wouldn’t it be great if 100 hot girls could tell you what they like instead of making random tweaks every day and wasting time and energy? This is [what ROAST does for you](https://roast.dating/quiz/1?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=in-text&utm_campaign=/blog/tinder-unban-guide), and this is how all of our subscribers are stealing all the hot girls from Tinder now.

When making your new account, you've got a chance to rethink what pictures you share. Make sure they're all within the community guidelines and make sure they're all different from before. Remember, everything about your new account needs to be brand new.

Need more ideas?  Check out our [top Tinder tips](https://roast.dating/blog/best-tinder-tips-for-guys) to make the best of your new account.

To create your new account, you'll either need a new Facebook account, or you'll need to link your new account to a new phone number (addressed above) and a new email address. Using the same device is possible, although not really recommended.

Every piece of information you share to sign up needs to be new, so depending on your device and how you decide to sign up that could mean a new Apple ID or a new Google play store account.

If you're planning to pay for a Tinder subscription or for any of their special features, make sure you use a new payment method.

While it may have been frustrating to deal with a Tinder ban, remember that like any dating app, Tinder's terms are in place for the sake of user safety.

This time around try to follow Tinder's rules and community guidelines and you won't have to worry about getting slapped with a permanent ban again.

And if you'd like some more help with Tinder, [we've got your back](https://roast.dating/blog/create-good-tinder-profile).

How to get unbanned from Tinder in 2022? The ultimate guide to getting your account back

the 3 different ways to reset your tinder account

There are three methods of resetting your account: the soft way, the hard way, and the 3-month rule.

Warning: always keep in mind that there is no magic trick! Resetting your account is useless if you make the same profile again, because you’ll have to reset it again as well. That’s why we created [this app](https://roast.dating/quiz/1?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=in-text&utm_campaign=/blog/tinder-reset-guide) that will help you to get more matches in 2 minutes thanks to its thousands of top ranked profiles analyzed.

### **1. The soft way (Soft reset)**

The soft reset method is as simple as dangerous since it has been overused over the last years and has been flagged by Tinder since. It consists of deleting your account and creating a new one. **I'd not recommend you to do it**, but I've still included it in this guide for reference.

  
If you’re the lazy guy that will choose this method, then be sure to make at least a new profile in 2-mn and [check if it is adapted for Tinder here](https://roast.dating/quiz/1?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=in-text&utm_campaign=/blog/tinder-reset-guide), this will increase your chances of getting more matches by over 70%.

### **2. The hard way (Full reset)**

This method is the most secure and most efficient one. This is the one I choose every time I want a fresh start (and the initial boost that comes with it). To do a hard reset you will have to change a lot of things: a new email address, a new phone number, a new Google or Apple account.

  
But don’t worry simple tricks exist for that, and it will also make your new profile rank on top of the most handsome men this time, at the only condition to follow what [ROAST](https://roast.dating/quiz/1?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=in-text&utm_campaign=/blog/tinder-reset-guide) will tell you (I have to admit that he is way smarter than me for that).

### **3. The 3-month rule (GDPR reset)**

This method is the most recent one, and one of the easiest ones. The only drawback is that it requires a lot of patience. 3 months, or 92 days, to be exact.

So if it means waiting that much, don’t mess up your next profile! I did it and I can tell you that you don’t want to wait 6 months with no girl while all your friends are dating them! That’s why [ROAST is here for you](https://roast.dating/quiz/1?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=in-text&utm_campaign=/blog/tinder-reset-guide), so be sure to check it now.

According to [Tinder privacy policy](https://policies.tinder.com/privacy/intl/en):


> ***To protect the safety and security of our users on and off our services, we implement a safety retention window of three months following account deletion. During this period, account information will be retained although Tinder privacy policy the account will of course not be visible on the services anymore.***
> 
> 

Theoretically, you could get a fresh start by deleting your account and waiting for 3-months before creating a new one. But there are a few catches that we will see in the next section.



The 3 Different Ways to Reset Your Tinder Account

the best way to reset your tinder account in 2022

The short answer is: **do a hard reset**. This is the most secure way to get a fresh start on Tinder.

  
But depending on what you value the most you may choose another solution:

* If you value efficiency: do a hard reset,
* If you are lazy: do a soft reset (at your own risk),
* If you are patient: do a 3-month reset.

![tinder different resets methods](https://a.storyblok.com/f/149299/1600x750/893fba5919/tinder-different-resets-methods.jpeg "Comparison of the different methods to reset Tinder")

### **The reason why you should not do a soft reset**

I'd not do a soft reset because this practice has been overused and flagged by Tinder to protect its community. Imagine if a scammer was able to get a brand new account by just deleting and creating a new one, would your experience on Tinder be great?

No.

That's why Tinder implemented in the last years some efficient methods to penalize and prevent this abuse. Those include [shadowban](https://roast.dating/blog/tinder-shadowban) or further verifications.

### **Tinder hard reset vs 3-month reset?**

I would choose the hard reset 10 times. Because even though waiting 3 months seems appealing vs getting a new phone, it has some limitations.

First, the [GPDR law](https://ico.org.uk/media/for-organisations/guide-to-the-general-data-protection-regulation-gdpr-1-0.pdf) forces companies to only erase your personal data, data that can identify you as an individual.

If your Tinder data relative to your [Tinder ELO](https://roast.dating/blog/tinder-elo) are anonymized, they don't have to delete it. This means that when you will create a new account, uploading the same pic with the same metadata, Tinder can restore your Tinder ELO and you will not benefit from the initial boost.

Second, analyzing the [privacy policy of Tinder](https://policies.tinder.com/privacy/intl/en) this time:


> ***We delete or anonymize your information [...] unless the information must be kept for our legitimate business interests, such as fraud prevention and enhancing users' safety and security.***
> 
> 


> ***For example, information may need to be kept to prevent a user who was banned for******unsafe behavior or security incidents******from opening a new account.***
> 
> 

If your account has been flagged in the past for breaking the community guidelines or being reported by other users, the 3-months reset will not work.

This means that **if you were shadowbanned, waiting 3 months with of hope of getting a fresh start is illusory**.

The first steps are exactly the same as for a soft reset. Click on the links below to get more info.

* [How to delete my Tinder account?](https://roast.dating/blog/tinder-reset-guide#how-to-delete-my-tinder-account)
* [How to uninstall Tinder?](https://roast.dating/blog/tinder-reset-guide#how-to-uninstall-tinder)

### **Do I need a new phone to do a Tinder hard reset?**

Now, there are 2 options depending on your situation:

* You got another phone available that you can use for Tinder: use it.
* You don't have another phone: do a factory reset of your phone.

Whenever you use the app, your device ID is passed through the request made to the Tinder server. Plus this information does not identify you as a person, so companies can keep it even after the deletion of your account.

If you don't have a new phone available, save your data and do a factory reset of your phone. This method[works well on Android](https://www.gtricks.com/android/2-ways-to-find-android-device-id-and-change-it/) and is an easy alternative to root your phone.

The process differs slightly depending on your device but here is the process on iPhone and iPad:

1. Open your phone settings.
2. Go to "General".
3. Scroll down till "Reset".
4. Select "Erase All Content and Settings".

‌‌If you got an Android, here is one way of doing it:

1. Open your phone settings.
2. Go to "About Phone".
3. Select "Factory reset".

  
I know, I know… you wonder how you became a phone tech engineer just for getting hot girls right? If this is too much for you, you can just try to rank up your profile at first instead of resetting it and see how it goes. [ROAST](https://roast.dating/quiz/1?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=in-text&utm_campaign=/blog/tinder-reset-guide) already saved 15,000+ peoples from this hell so why not you?

### **How to create a new Apple id or Google account**

Once that's done, the next step is to create a new Apple id or Google playstore account before downloading Tinder.

Before we get started, you will need a new email address.

  
To create a new Apple id, we recommend you follow this [tutorial](https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204316) by Apple. Here are the main steps:

1. Open the App Store and tap the sign-in button
2. If iCloud is on, log out first. Then tap on "Create New Apple ID"
3. Follow on-screen instructions using your **NEW email address**.
4. Verify your email address.

To create a new Google account, you can check this [tutorial](https://www.androidauthority.com/how-to-set-up-google-account-825828/). Here are the main steps:

1. Go to the Settings of your phone.
2. Scroll down and tap on the “Accounts” option.
3. Tap on the “Add account” option at the bottom of your screen.
4. Select “Google.”
5. Tap on “Create account.”
6. Follow on-screen instructions using your **NEW email address.**
7. Tap the “I Agree” button to create your Google account.

### **What you should keep in mind while creating a new Tinder account if you want a full reset**

This is the most important section because one mistake could ruin everything...

1. Use a **new email address.**
2. Use a **new phone number.**
3. **Do not link your previous Apple ID or Google account** (hence install the app with a new account). See How to create a new Apple id or Google account to get more details.
4. **Do not link your social networks** if they were linked to your previous account (Facebook, Instagram, Spotify).
5. **Do not use the exact same pics as before. Alter their metadata first.** See this section for more info.

### **How to keep the same pics as before while resetting your account**

The answer is short: clean the meta-data! This includes name, EXIF, size, ...

If you would like to use an old photo for your new Tinder account, follow these steps:

1. Rename the file name of the photo so it doesn't match with the pic that you previously uploaded on Tinder.
2. [Clean EXIF data](https://www.howtogeek.com/203592/what-is-exif-data-and-how-to-remove-it/) from your pictures using either google "remove EXIF online" or by downloading one of many free programs available (we recommend Photo ExifCleaner). This will remove geotag information such as GPS coordinates where images were taken which can lead back.
3. Slightly resize it (or add black pixels) so the pic dimension doesn't match the previous pic.

That's it!

If I was you, I would also ask myself **why did I want to keep using the same pics if I wasn't getting matches?**If you're resetting your account there is a reason 😉

Even if Tinder is a great way to meet new people, but it's hard to stand out from the crowd. You can swipe for hours and never get a match. Why?

The problem is that most guys are using their phone camera and adding one or two photos of themselves looking good at best. This means they're only showing off the things they feel confident about and neglecting everything else. They forget that there's someone on the other side of those swipes who has no idea what you look like in real life, so your profile photo needs to be more than just an attractive picture of yourself; it also needs to show off your personality as well!  
  


That's why I created [ROAST](https://roast.dating/quiz/1?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=in-text&utm_campaign=/blog/tinder-reset-guide), the most effective way to get matches on Tinder.

ROAST will help you create a killer Tinder profile by reviewing your photos & giving feedback on how you can improve them based on our experience with thousands of profiles reviewed each month.

If we think something isn't working we'll tell you why, if we love something we'll let you know too!

what is a tinder shadowban

A [shadowban](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_banning) is when your actions are restricted by [Tinder](https://roast.dating/blog/tinder-algorithm) without you being warned. For example, you could still be able to use the app, to swipe left and right. But your profile would not be shown to other users. Shadowban is a light sanction, used by MANY services: [Bumble](https://roast.dating/blog/bumble-shadowban), [Hinge](https://roast.dating/blog/hinge-shadowban) but also social networks, Reddit, and many more!

 

The consequences?

You are wasting your time because you’ll never match… you’re beginning to lose your self-confidence, you think you’re not good enough… But this is not even the worst thing !

The worst thing is… that your dream girl will never see your cool profile right now while she’s actively swiping the other guys on Tinder, all of this because: 

 • neither you don’t know how to get out of this hell, 

 • nor you know [how the other guys are ranking on top of Tinder with this unfair tool](https://roast.dating/quiz/1?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=in-text&utm_campaign=/blog/tinder-shadowban), therefore avoiding this hell naturally and without any effort!

The main ones are:

1. **sending ‘inappropriate texts’.**   
Inappropriate texts are not necessarily what you think, most of the time users will report you for this by laziness just because they don’t like your pictures or bio. But if you let [ROAST do this job for you](https://roast.dating/quiz/1?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=in-text&utm_campaign=/blog/tinder-shadowban), then it will never happen again since it is based already on the behaviors of the hottest girls of Tinder.
2. **getting reported.**   
Like in the real world, Tinder has its own invisible standards, and unless you are a [super AI with the knowledge of thousands of top-ranked users](https://roast.dating/quiz/1?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=in-text&utm_campaign=/blog/tinder-shadowban) you will never know what in your pictures or bio will make the hot girls report you. But the good news is that this AI already exist for you here today! So don’t miss it and beat all the other guys to the game now before they steal your girls!
3. **or having disturbing pictures on your tinder profile.**   
I know you have a lot of muscles but don’t show too much !;) Wanna know the exact limit of ‘sexual pics’ on Tinder but that will still melt the brain of the hottest girls ? Stop overthinking and let the greatest experts out there tell you exactly what to do pic by pic.



The reasons why you are shadowbanned on Tinder

how to test if you are shadowbanned or not

First, you can check if you have any of the following symptoms:

* You're actively swiping but you don't get any matches
* You have recently received a warning for inappropriate behavior
* Your number of likes is stagnating or if you have Tinder Gold/Platinum, there is no
* You're not getting any responses to your messages

If all the previous conditions are fulfilled, you must reset your Tinder account now.  


Warning! 

Resetting your account won’t do anything if you use the exact same pictures once again! So be sure to use [ROAST](https://roast.dating/quiz/1?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=in-text&utm_campaign=/blog/tinder-shadowban) on your profile this time in order to force Tinder to show your profile to the hottest girls of the platform now!
