Dating apps have gotten that bad that even women want to pay for them now? God damn, lol.
To answer your question, Hinge's ban system is incredibly strict. I suggest using a privacy card instead. And as the other user pointed out, you need a new apple ID/google play.
Yep, that's a good start!
Photofeeler is good to get some feedback on your pics, ROAST is even better to know how your profile is doing overall and identify what you should work on to make your profile even better
I was banned this morning and a few hours later was back up and running. I submitted my appeal and they immediately denied it. I've had it for years and have no clue what I did to get banned in the first place and of course they won't tell you.
I'm using the same device, but I turned on my VPN (I use NordVPN), created a new phone number with app Burner, used a different email address and it worked. Don't purchase a membership or any upgrade on Hinge because that would require your apple or google log in and it'll know you've created a new account.
This. SpeedTalk Mobile has a $5 a month plan with 100 SMS messages. Buy/find an old unlocked Android that works with AT&T, and you're all set.
If you don't have $5 a month to pay for a solid, fresh burner number, what are you doing on dating apps as a guy?
May not be what you are looking for as it is a little pricier, but you can get a legitimate number with from Tello for $2 and then activate on their monthly plan for $5/month. This is a prepaid carrier so you can cancel after 1 month.

I'm not sure if Tello offers a completely free SIM if you sign up for the plan on their site. Their may also be other pre-paid providers with activation + monthly cost of <$10.
$10 is definitely legitimate number
Nah, from my experience with shadowban it doesn't seem so. At least for me, my accounts weren’t getting any likes at all, and I was going through the same profiles after closing and opening the app again. Talking about the IP address, a simple VPN should be enough to mask your IP address (I would recommend NordVPN, great service).
Yep! I just purchased an initial plan to get through the SMS requirements, then I just used WiFi.
Firstly, thank you for the thorough response.
So, I actually waited to make this account specifically for today because I knew I would be at my gf's parents house and on a completely new wifi network. I also used a VPN on this new iPhone device. It was the NordVPN app. Not sure if that matters.
Now, my gf's parents do live about an hour outside of where my gf and I live, so maybe there was some vicinity tracking going on, but I live in a major US city. I have to imagine accounts are constantly being being banned in that city. And now I go about an hour outside of the city and somehow they can link that? I mean sure its possible, especially if got a human to review it, but I just can't quite see how at an automated level it got flagged in the first place.
As for your last comment, you make a very reasonable point. TBH, I don't fully even care about the third having a good job, or even going to college. It's more that there generally seems to be a rough correlation between the most attractive people I've ever found (the trait I admittedly care about the most) having those properties <---> and those people generally being on Hinge. Like, there is just some weird relationship there.
With Tinder and Bumble, I have to wade through a lot of muck to find anyone who is a looksmatch. And sometimes when I do, I will admit I get a little sketched out from time to time wondering if it is a fake account, or the person has "trashy" or unsafe tendencies. With Hinge I generally have peace of mind. Lastly, the Hinge algorithm (at least for the first week) is giving my gf and I the best shit right up front.
Used it near my house. I've never connected my phone to the wifi. Don't want to risk getting tracked that way. That's why I bought data.
My process was essentially:
- Buy tracfone
- Setup new google play account with the tracfone phone number
- Setup new hinge account with the phone number and google play account
- removed exif data/added pixel/adjusted file names (facial recognition is extremely unlikely but photo recognition IS a possibility). Preferably use all new photos.
- buy premium with a privacy.com card
- send out tons of likes
Then the matches started rolling in. Like 90% of them don't respond but still.
Physically, you're very attractive.
Your vibe, however, is pretty "nice guy/unconfident/unsure".
With this type of profile, you come off as genuine and a little bit corny, I think you are unlikely find girls that are looking for less than a relationship here. It reads like a Match.com profile from the early 2000s.
Your first photo is great. Your second photo, you look a bit shy; the hand in the pocket doesn't help. Your last photo, you have a stain on your shirt.
I just checked mine and now my matches are showing a little green circle next to their name in the messages and match list. This is on tinder.com , on the mobile application I see no change. Not sure if this means recently active or actually online at the moment. If you hover over the icon it doesn't say anything.
>If you're going through one right now, put a bit more energy into improving yourself and putting yourself out there (buy Tinder Platinum, Hinge Premium etc
Nice try Match.com CEO
Pretty much, everything in online dating is for the benefit of women. Which is odd since they almost never pay anything anyways. It's us dudes who take on the financial burden of dating. Even in an age when equity is the battle cry, most women, even leftists, still expect men to seek them and to pay for them (at least in the beginning).
Think about how all dating apps have pretty much gone to the right vs left swipe method of dating. Remember back when on Match.com, you could send anyone a message or even an instant message? Well, now Match is mostly left/right swipe. While you can still send a random message, it no longer even appears in your inbox unless they either like you back or respond to your message. In other words, read receipts now only appear if someone actually matches you. And if you want to send a follow-up, you can only see part of what you written and have to hope you don't repeat the same thing.
Why was all this done? For the benefit of women. Pure and simple. Women always whine about receiving way too many messages. Well, now they are fully in control. So unless you're a 9.0+ in appearance dude who is 6'2" or taller, good luck!
I was banned today from match...luckily I know someone there who actually ratted the girl out who did it(no names just quoted the convo) but at the risk of his job, I didn't ask him to unban me.
Reason:
I asked her out and she agreed but wouldn't give her number.
The place I had planned gets pretty packed on the weekends so I pressed on about it as it's normal to get this to coordinate. I didn't want to be running around the place wading through people trying to match a pic (that could've been old/filtered) to someone's face and looking like a fool.
She wasn't having it and wanted to "just meet there" so I bowed out saying "hey I'm gonna pass, this is too shady for me, peace."
She went off calling me names and saying "Shady?! you haven't seen shady yet asshole" in the classic hamster rage of female rejection. I blocked her without a word.
She reported, I'm banned, no warning 1st offense.
Went on FB dating and landed a date I just got home from who DID give me her number. Match is garbage.
Match.com needs to be put out of business and sued to oblivion. Half of their websites are full of bots and fake profiles and then two swipes later they're asking you to buy a 30 dollar per month subscription.
How is that legal?
What OS? I only tested on Chrome OS thus far. https://streamable.com/mx3yen -- you did precisely this?
chrome://settings/content/siteDetails?site=https://tinder.com -- paste that into the url bar and make sure that is set to allow

I had the same problem a few weeks ago. Even when I enabled google location services I couldn't open the app (I only saw white screen), so I installed Firefox and used only that browser to log into web version of tinder.com. In Android Developer options you can turn on "mock location" and set any location.
Currently running an experiment and will post my results here as they come in, however a couple things I'm uncertain about are:
There are more and more people who prefer to get to know each other via the Internet every day. And it is not surprising, because it is simple, fast and convenient. But not everyone knows where to start. I didn't know either until I was advised by the app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=club.realdating.askme. See if these tips will help you.
First time I got banned was literally for replying hey to everyone who messaged me, reported for spam?
Since then I’m shadow banned even when making a new account within seconds of the account being up.
I just want to know how to get back on tinder without being banned in a matter of seconds.
I’ve tried VPN such as ExpressVPN and Even using Surfshark to change my IP & Location but apparently tinder can see your true location on an Android device even with surfshark changing your location on the maps app
I’d really like to be able to make a tinder and have it start at a new location other than my hometown without being shadownbanned or just outright banned immediately.
Had no issue using location changers before but now it’s like the people who work at tinder know exactly who I am and the second they see a new profile I’m banned just like that
I got around the ban successfully myself just today. I was fully banned for maybe 6 months total. I tried to appeal and it was a no go.. But I’m back! . I did not need a new phone or a new SIM card. I didn’t even need another Google or Facebook account. Here’s what I did :
1) I cleared all the Tinder info from my phone.
2)I opened an account with ProtonVPN and ran that.
3) I got the TextMe app to get a phone # that accepts SMS texts
4) Opened a free email . I actually just used .. (which i am surprised that it even still exists).
5) went to ( the website,not app) signed up using the new phone number from TextMe. *I had to pay for an account to receive sms texts. Tinder sent code ,
6) after code from step 5 was entered , it sent a code to the the new aol address. I entered the code and I was in Tinder
7) I uploaded pictures and mistakenly uploaded a couple that I have used on all of my other social media accounts including my banned Tinder account...
— I’ve been in and using it all day and have several phone #’s already !
Good luck 👍
Yes. It doesn't offer this option no matter what you do. Whether you try through app, web browser, or desktop. I know Platinum is still in testing phase in particular regions, so that's the reason. Are you living in US?
I even tried to access Tinder through ProtonVPN, but it still detects my real country and locality. Don't ask me how.
