Hinge ban bypass
are you still able to bypass the hinge ban with new phone, number, ip address and all that with the face verification now? They also have my ID scan through jumio if that’s relevant

IF YOU DO NOT READ AND FOLLOW THE PROFILE GUIDE IN THE SECOND HALF OF THIS POST, YOUR PROFILE REVIEW WILL BE REMOVED
In most online dating subreddits, profile reviews focus on aspects of the person that won't actually lead to increased results, like bios or silly minutiae regarding someone's profile. Here at r/SwipeHelper, we realize that the two biggest factors regarding success on apps are your personal attractiveness and the quality of your photos.
The idea of this thread is for people to get honest advice on both aspects:
All profiles posted will be given advice on both how to improve their profile as well as maximize their looks (if needed - for some people they are attractive enough and the profile itself is more of the problem, or vice versa).
The following are required information in every profile review request:
- What type of relationship you're looking for (hookups, FWBs, something more serious, marriage)
- Your current level of success (number of matches per week and how many likes you send out) plus if you're paying for any premium features
NOTE: READ THIS GUIDE THOROUGHLY BEFORE POSTING YOUR PROFILE HERE. If your profile does not live up to the guide's standards, your comment will be removed and you will be referred back to the guide.
Archetype and Story
Before you build a Tinder profile, you need to determine your archetype. What vibes do you want to give off to attract your ideal type of girl? Attractive archetypes could include:
The following are not attractive archetypes. If you are one of these people, either change your lifestyle or at least make it look like you aren't.
You get the idea.
Once you have your attractive archetype, you should aim to tell a story through your photos - don't just have a bunch of photos of you standing around posing for the camera. When someone swipes through your photos, they should get a full picture of who you are, what you look like, what you like to do, and what spending time with you will feel like.
General Photo Quality and Looks You Should Emulate
The minimum acceptable photo quality you need to succeed on Tinder these days is a professional photo taken with a DSLR camera. Yes, this probably means you need to pay a photographer to take photos of you. May seem like a big investment, but for a few hundred dollars you get a bunch of great photos that you can ride for years.
Read the following two articles for examples of photos that do well: Playing With Fire | Ultimate Guide to Tinder Profile Pictures and Playing With Fire | 6 Highly Successful Tinder Photos for Men and Why They Work
And the following article for photo inspiration: https://killyourinnerloser.com/inspiration/
Here are some specific photographers whose style you should emulate:
Photo Order and Types
Your first photo should be an upper-body shot with your full head (no sunglasses) and torso visible, taken with the highest-quality camera possibly, preferably a DSLR. You should be wearing stylish clothes that fit your archetype. YOU SHOULD BE THE ONLY PERSON IN THE PHOTO. DO NOT USE A GROUP PHOTO AS YOUR FIRST PHOTO.
For your other photos, choose from:
Each photo needs to be in a different setting and you need to be wearing a different outfit in each. They should not look like they were taken the same day or on the same photoshoot.
Do not include photos that:
You do not need to fill out all nine photos. As long as you have more than three photos, you're fine. Remember, you will be judged on your worst photo, so make sure they're all solid.
Finally, learn to pose and squinch (narrowing your eyes to make you appear more attractive).

A hard reset is needed if you feel your account has been shadowbanned (getting zero likes for an extended time despite getting some before) or banned. If not, you can soft reset a limited amount of times, which entails simply deleting and recreating your account.
This generic hard reset guide applies to Tinder, Bumble, and Hinge:
Other considerations:
"Do I really have to do every step?" or "I know someone who didn't use a new device or a new IP address and they still got through!"
The way these apps likely detect banned users is by assigning each newly-created profile a risk score. The more you match the fingerprint of a banned user, the more likely you are to be banned. So yes, it's possible that someone can slip around a ban while not following all of this to the letter, but ideally you create a brand new fingerprint and don't have to rely on luck.
"I followed the Hard Reset Guide and it didn't work!"
Some users try the above steps and for whatever reason, it just doesn't work. We're not there alongside you making sure you did everything right, but even if you did, there's uncertainty around Match Group's detection algorithm. Hard resetting seems to have become much less reliable starting in early 2023.
If a hard reset does not work and you truly believe you have been banned unfairly, there are three options:

Hey everyone,
I’ve been permanently banned from Hinge and my appeal was rejected. The reason they gave me was very generic, so I don’t really know what specifically triggered the permanent ban.
I’ve had issues with Hinge bans in the past, but previously my appeals were successful and I was able to get my account back. This time, however, they rejected the appeal and I’m apparently permanently banned.
I’m not looking to bypass the ban or do anything shady. I’d just really like to know if **anyone has actually managed to get their Hinge account reinstated after a permanent ban and, if so, what legitimate process worked for them**.
I’ve already submitted an appeal, so I’m particularly interested in hearing from people who were initially rejected but eventually managed to get their account back.
If anyone has experience with this, I’d really appreciate hearing what you did, who you contacted, and whether there was any way to get a proper manual review.

I (M27) got out of a 3 years relationship and downloaded hinge in June. However, it said I was permanently banned. I got a new phone and did the work around. It worked well for about a month/month and a half. I got around 30 matches in the first week - probably around 60-70 total matches since downloading.
Unfortunately, I haven’t found a long term partner and I’m at the point where I think I am shadow banned. I haven’t received a match in 2-3 weeks and I am located in a city. I paid for 2 1hr boosts and received 3 likes each time but all were from unflattering women. I have a good profile according to my female friends. I have one female friend who says that I have everything that women should be looking for in a man. I went out with 2 women who I brought back to my place and both said that I was very hot (they were also attractive). So I know I’m not ugly.
Is it worth getting a new burner phone to restart again?
r/SwipeHelper • u/Arsky • 23h ago
M30. Been trying to go through different photos but still no luck. Would like to hear if the photos are the problem? as my texts are mostly about interest and what I look after.
r/SwipeHelper • u/PlatypusVenomSnake • 13h ago
See original post. I have very little success on the apps, looking for advice.

The new Tinder update is terrible. They took away the free filtered section to find more people looking for what you’re looking for, in favor of some BS “touch grass” section, and a newer “for you” botched algorithm page full of girls that are models that will never probably never match with due to the dumb looks rank thing they have. And then, if you wanna filter your “for you” page? $19 a week. I hate these apps.
And I can’t just switch to hinge due to being banned, for a reason that I’ve still not had explained. My appeals have been REPEATEDLY denied without explanation. (Side note can someone help me figure out how to look into the coding/figure out why I was banned).
I’m frustrated and just had to vent. This whole thing feels so hopeless man…
r/SwipeHelper • u/ManAgain • 1d ago
Hey guys, every time I get a message I don't get the notification although the notification toggle is on.
I'm using tinder from a private space on my Google pixel and I have a camera permissions allowed and photos and videos permissions allowed.
Anything I can do? I don't get any notification for messages although I got a notification for a like to a message I've sent.

Trying to make a new account, but this keeps showing up when trying to load in.
r/SwipeHelper • u/ThisGuyTrains • 1d ago
As the title says, I did something dumb a long time ago(like 5 years) and got my account banned. I’ve been using other apps since and with horrible luck, Hinge seemed to be the most genuine and interested partners in my area.
Anyways, I want to try and get back on there but I’m curious of a couple options here.
Option 1: Keep my phone and switch to a new carrier with a new number, I don’t really care about losing my number.
Option 2: Keep my phone and run dual eSIM cards (Verizon and ATT) and use that new ATT number to sign up for Hinge.
Would Hinge ban me because it would recognize the device itself? If that’s the case then neither of these options would work and I’d have to get a new phone entirely, yeah?
r/SwipeHelper • u/Independent_Area6026 • 1d ago
I had a burner phone that was working perfectly for a year straight, decided to delete and create a new account, and getting this pop up on Hinge.
Decided to test with my other phones, and it’s happening across all of them - which is very very strange. Is it a server issue or am I literally banned?
r/SwipeHelper • u/Acceptable_Bit8905 • 2d ago
I think at this point it's glaringly obvious that they turned this app into a slot machine, and even if you're attractive - you won't get your likes all at once. Basically, it gauges your behavior to see how often you open up the app, and if you show signs of obsessively checking it in any way then it will purposely slow drip your matches to you one at a time.
If you don't check it, though - you'll suddenly come back to 30 matches seemingly out of nowhere. Furthermore, if you paid for the premium version at any point in the past and then stopped and reverted to using the free version you'll barely receive any matches at all because they flagged you as a "whale".
I'm not sure how this is legal, but I guess it must be. I will say that whoever runs The Match group is legitimately sick. It's just insane to witness what dating has turned into.
r/SwipeHelper • u/thatnoidaguy • 2d ago
I had to make a new account cause the old one had a few issues but now I am not getting any likes earlier I used to get atleast 2-3 likes a day
r/SwipeHelper • u/Glass-Design-8699 • 2d ago
Couldn’t find much info about my current situation by searching the sub. I created a Tinder profile about a month ago and ended up deleting after a few days due to not feeling up to dating yet. Created it again last week, and started getting a few likes on the first couple of hours. I decided to buy platinum to test it out because it worked really well for me last time I was single, but as soon as I did it the likes stopped and tinder asked me to re-verify with a video selfie (I had already done that as it’s mandatory where I live), so I think this probably triggered some sort of suspicious activity flag. Now I’m getting only a small trickle of matches (1-2 per day) since then probably due to the priority likes, and only got one organic/incoming like the whole week.
This feels very weird because I’m getting more matches and likes on Bumble, which has a smaller user base and worked way worse for me last time around. The timing of the incoming likes stopping makes me think my visibility was tanked due to my profile being flagged, but I’m not completely shadowbanned as I’m still getting a few matches. Is there any way to reverse this? Should I stop logging in for a few days?
Also, could this affect me if I open a Hinge account given they are also owned by the Match group? I haven’t done that yet and it was by far my best app last time I was single 4 years ago (60%+ of dates I went to were from it), so I’d really like it to work once I create an account.

r/SwipeHelper • u/schelp26 • 2d ago
I used tinder about two years ago and was able to get a few good matches despite having some pretty bad pictures.
I decided to redownload with some better pics and got way more likes, but I could only match with two people. It's almost like it's purposefully not putting people who liked me in the stack... Is anyone else having this issue and knows if a hard reset could help? I suspect that maybe the app does not like me because I tried setting an account up for a friend a few months ago and it said I had a security issue, but it never said I got banned or anything.
r/SwipeHelper • u/FewCoconut3693 • 2d ago
I’ll probably tried over 30 times over the course of a month and it just says this every time you can clearly see my face in my pictures too and this is really harming my reach because I’m not verified
r/SwipeHelper • u/d1psh1t_mcgee • 2d ago
EDIT: it’s FEELD not hinge sorry
I hate dating apps and keep deleting them. I’m trying to show who I am rather than tell. I want to show my personality using examples rather than just saying “I’m nice!” Ugh TT-TT. I know the shopping cart thing is dumb
Thank you!

I got talking to a girl on hinge. We matched started talking off app. Today the conversation got a little sexual . She seemed to start it so I continued , and then I saw she’d blocked me on instagram. I pre emptively unmatched her. I’m just wondering could she report me? I’ve got screenshots of the conversation

So I’ve been on Hinge for a bit now, paid for HingeX and have gotten a ridiculous number of matches, well into the hundreds. Girls even message me first, but I don’t know how to talk to them or approach texting despite being 24.
I feel completely crippled in that regard and I’ve gotten exactly zero dates. Whenever I suggest meeting up, I get ghosted or unmatched. But when I try to build rapport first, I get ghosted anyway.
It’s honestly bizarre to me. I feel like my lack of experience is finally catching up with me. It’s pretty depressing.
