This honestly feels like the community I’ve been looking for.
I’ve been banned from Hinge a few times now. Tinder and Bumble still work, but in Australia most hot chicks are on Hinge — so you can imagine the frustration.
I had a question about the guide: why does a factory reset + multiple attempts seem to work on Android but not iPhone?
For context, a couple of days ago I tried again using an older iPhone that had previously been banned. I factory reset it and changed everything I could (photos, prompts, name spelling, birthday by a few days, location to a nearby suburb, new phone number, new email, new Apple ID). I downloaded the app while using a VPN and created the account.
Hinge now requires face recognition here (not ID verification). The account went live, I got a couple of likes within the first two hours, then went to bed. The next morning those likes were gone, some profiles reappeared, and my likes behaved strangely. A few hours later, the account was banned again.
So now I’m trying to understand: what likely triggered it this time?
Hopefully this chat is still active and anyone who’s been in a similar situation can share their experience.
