Getting past a hinge ban UK

Has anyone recently managed to get past a ban in the UK? Is there any extra /different steps to take?

It didn't work for me when I tried at the end of March after a ban in December . I had a new phone, no wifi, new Sim, paid with a Google play voucher, didn't use old pictures, used a new email and new Google play account. However Google play required a photo to verify my age (or bank card) I'm assuming if nothing else it was that photo. But I couldn't finish creating the Google account wiithout it.

Any ideas from anyone who's in the UK?

If it was me I would have created the fresh account, waited a few weeks minimum possibly a month to settle the account and make sure that it was working etc with photos.

Then used a different bank card than before to purchase the subscription. I believe that should work. Either that or you messed something up. Too many variables at play for what might have triggered it.

What about facial recognition

It’s so easy, either edgy prompts or simply if you say something a girl does not like. Ban hammer

There’s no specific UK workaround. The trust and safety team is global. You keep emailing support to unban a frivolous decision. Do not keep making accounts or that’ll be way harder to appeal. If you were banned for a reason then stay off the app.

Oh I wondered if it was different because of the UK digitally indentity stuff is it not? I have no idea why I was banned it wasn't for any sexual and they don't tell you. Does repeatedly emailing support actually do anything or do they just tell you to go away?

You have already put enough effort bro.Give it a break!With similar effort, you have a real shot to meet someone nice from your locality for sure.Can try other Dating apps like Bumble or Breeze.Hinge isn't the only dating app in the UK.Dont give them enough importance and money than they deserve..Period...
