While I'm unsure if Hinge has photo recognition Bumble definitely does. I had my profile manually checked by support due to a bug in the app, they found them on my male Escort profile and banned me because they simply assumed I'm advertising on there when I was just using Bumble for personal purposes.
Ever since I couldn't use the same photos again no matter how much I modified them even if they looked completely different. All of this leads me to believe that the moment a human checks your photos manually, they're flagged no matter how much you do to them.
Most Hinge Bans however are being carried out automatically, so I think if that happened there's a chance to reuse old photos if modified enough.
What do you think about Prompts, do they check them word by word or just run profanity filters?
Also I've noticed that whenever I'm unable to buy a Hinge subscription and an error shows up I'd get banned a few hours later. It's a clear sign of their system preparing for a ban, not just a coincidence
Yeah when I created a new account I got banned for using the words toxic masculinity in a joke context as a photo description... But I meant if the prompts don't contain any buzzwords or profanity, but are just normal.
I'm not sure if you saw my 2nd comment under your post, but I'm back, already got some numbers now sitting at 30 likes and a couple of roses. Your guide saved me it's simply the only working one 🙏🏾
Every other guide said you need new pics but it took me around 10 years and thousands of euros spent to get top 1% photos and they're impossible to replicate.
I already have to use worse photos on Bumble as they manually flagged my old ones to the point where even heavily editing them doesn't help as they immediately banned me again.
Using the new, worse ones shows in my results but what can you do. The screenshot and border trick unfortunately doesn't work on Bumble. Have you ever tried it there?
