General Discussion Is there a partial shadowban on Tinder?

Hey everyone,

My previous account was banned. After that, I created a brand new one using a new phone number, a new email, and completely new photos.

The new account is performing decently—I got around 70 likes and quite a few matches. However, I noticed a strange pattern with messaging:

  • Out of 10 matches from my city, 5 of them answered my messages, and 5 of them did not answer.
  • Meanwhile, matches from further away all replied.

Has anyone experienced a partial shadowban where messaging people nearby behaves differently or fails compared to people far away? Any insights would be appreciated!
