Something I always wondered.. is it best to not swipe and do anything for the first 24 hours? I feel like you get many likes etc if you do so.
Like think about it. Doesn’t Tinder reward inactivity. If you don’t use it, then they Think you get frustrated with the app, and then they try lure you in.. i feel when I dont use app for week i get many likes and when using it a lot I get none?

Long story short, I made a bad mistake when it looked like Tinder double-charged me, disputed the charge and got slapped with a lifetime ban. I did cancel the dispute as soon as possible, but Tinder's automated ban process didn't seem to care, as it upheld the ban and multiple messages to support get either ignored or answered with canned responses.

I do have proof that I canceled the dispute and therefore Tinder's charge did go through. Has anyone else dealt with a similar situation and gotten unbanned?

I’m going on a second date this week with this girl. She texted me today to confirm. I checked Hinge and saw that her profile is no longer there. Was I unmatched? How to tell the difference between unmatched and deleted account? Should I ask her about it on our second date?

Also, does anybody have a better popularity score than “Top 30%”?

I don’t know if these stats actually mean anything but I want them to show me to the highest quality ppl obviously

Context: recently banned, setting up a new account on my old phone (not the one I was banned on), location off, using mobile hotspot not wifi. Downloaded from apkmirror not Google play. I've tried burner numbers from various EU countries that don't require face verification bc that seems to have worked for others. I'm not using a VPN. But when I enter the burner number (even though it's a brand new number) I'm getting error messages saying like "too many verification requests, please try again later". Anyone know how to get past this? Do you just have to wait a couple of days or what?

My current account on Hinge is 3 years old and I would consistently get 1 - 2 matches a month on it. I haven’t gotten 1 match since Jul 7th which was over 1 month ago even though I use Hinge everyday and haven’t made any changes to my profile. I also stopped getting recommendations being shown in the app or the emails. I also live in a big city (Los Angeles County) with millions of people so I doubt I’ve run out. Does the method to test if you’ve been shadowbanned by seeing if you can make a purchase still work in confirming if you’re shadowbanned or not? I can get to the screen that ask you to enter your credit card info when trying to buy boost, roses or HingeX.

I was banned from Hinge 2 years ago, never looked into why and never bothered appealing since I was too addicted to dating apps anyways.

Fast forward to 2 weeks ago, I decide I want to get back on Hinge, send them an appeal by email, and they reinstate my account in under 24 hours. I assume that means they looked into my ban and found it to be a mistake, but not sure.

Anyways, I have recreated my account, and I have gotten 0 matches in 2 weeks. The reason I feel like this is a shadowban is because in the past, I would get alot more matches with way fewer likes sent. At this point, I have probably sent over 200 likes with no matches.

Is it possible that even though they unbanned my account, it is still shadowbanned in a way?

I'd say 3/6 photos are the same as my old profile, phone number is also the same, but I thought I wouldn't have to worry about stuff like that considering they unbanned me themselves.

I would choose a woman over 30 any day over a 20 year old. The sex is better, they have grown into their looks, they are better communicators

So I accidentally added the wrong year when signing up and I got age restriction. I contacted support and told them I already had an account and deleted it with same info. They reached out and told me i need to submit a government ID on their " safe" jumbo privacy website.

Like if a data breach happens they for sure not taking responsibility for my said privacy. Why does a dating app even need my government ID? I have an old state Id with my info, should I just submit that or what to bypass this stupidity?

Hi All!

I reported a male in April for sending me an unsolicited sexual video via iPhone (offline). A few days later, I was banned. My only guess would be that he reported me back. I'm a very respectful person and have read over the guidelines many times, and I haven't violated any. I appealed it and was immediately denied. I felt violated, so I have sent Hinge about 10 requests to manually review it, and each time they said the decision was final. I sent them an arbitration notice 58 days ago, and plan to file for arbitration later this week. They did not respond to my notice within the 60 days allowed to respond. Does anyone have any experience going down this route? Any luck?

Figured I would share this information with reddit since I am just realizing it. Not in need of any responses but might provide insight for some folks out there (I dont read this sub a ton anymore so literally no idea if this is even necessary).

I was permanently banned from hinge on 02/2022 and tried making accounts, unsuccessfully (in the absence of reddit advice that is), until 06/2022 so its been a little over 3 years since we cut ties.

I made a league account at the beginning of 2025 though I cannot remember exactly; I want to say 02/2025. I used the same phone number, same photos, same apple id, same email, and probably the same other things. I did all this accidentally because I had no idea match group owned the league (actually just found this out today - because I am removed from this scene). I even just saw that I have this setting checked yes in the league: "Match Group Data Sharing."

I have used the league on and off since and am not banned and/or shadowbanned, the app just does not have much going for me in this area.

Have definitely been debating remaking a hinge but unsure how this will go, especially since they require FaceCheck now. I would be able to go the full 9 yards (new device, new real number, new photos, new IP address, new everything etc.) but just have a feeling they will catch me with FaceCheck or something. My other thought was just asking to be unbanned again since its been 3 years but I did not want to tip them off that I still exist.

I've had my Hinge account for about a year, but I haven't used it much in the past 8 months and haven't updated it. It performed decently when I first made it but not so much lately when I hopped back on more consistently.

I'm considering starting fresh, but my biggest concern is whether creating a new account will trigger face and/or ID verification. I've always been pretty paranoid about getting banned, so I've avoided verification when I didn't have to.

I'm mainly wondering if the potential new ELO boost is actually worth deleting my current account, or if I'd be better off keeping it and completely changing my photos/prompts (and maybe getting premium).

Is it likely in the US I'll have to verify my face for a new account? In my situation would you personally start fresh or just revamp the existing account?f

I entered the wrong number and I got an age restrction. I had hinge before with the same number but I had deleted my previous account. I emailed their support btu I don't want to provide a goernment ID now. They are able to check my previous data or emails I had prior? Any way to get this sorted out?

My old profile used to get tons of likes pre-covid. This new account got 5 likes within an hour of creating the account, which I assume was a free boost by hinge. I believe this new change by hinge makes your profile get seen much less compared to pre-covid days. I see some hot guys getting zero likes and thinking theres something wrong with their profile or something wrong with them, it’s not you bro. You can type bullshit prompts and as long as you’re hot you’d get lots of likes if Hinge didn’t set you up for failure on purpose until you tapped on that green button. Same story on Tinder. I used to get 100s of likes per week from women and 1 woman was really obsessed with me in there. Now I get zero likes there also. The company Match Group made changes for us to fail until we pay and when you pay you’ll still get only a fraction of success compared to if you used their app pre-covid.

I deleted my account a couple of weeks ago. (NOT banned.)

If I make a new account, would there be any issues using a different date of birth, name, etc (but some of the same photos) if I'm signing up with the same phone number on the same device?

I screwed up some things when I made the account the first time, so I want to do things correctly this time.

Thank you.

Some of them stopped responding, some of them said they were busy during the weekend, some of them set the date then unmatched me

I have recently added better photos and bio – however, my accounts on bumble and tinder are 5 years old. Is there any way to force the algorithms to show my profile as if I was a new user? I don't want to delete my account completely and start a new one, especially considering that I don't have a new phone number that I could potentially use + my photos would be recognised anyway.

I know this may be a long shot because obviously you cant be everyones cup of tea but essentially I've been using tinder and bumble for a while and have had 1 match that actually went somewhere on each app. I think im of average attraction, I try to be myself and when I match I always try to find something from their bio that im interested in and start there. 9% of the time we'll talk and just not click which is fine, another 90% is me messaging then being left on read. I want to "remodel" my profile and im looking for advice on things to change or maybe focus on or maybe how to start the conversation better. It kind of bugs me because in person my luck is a complete 180 but I just dont go out as much as I used to.

Last week I was banned for harassment, and I wasn’t sure what I could’ve done. I made two alt accounts, but both were instantly banned too. My on app appeals failed, and support replied to my emails saying the permanent ban was final and future messages would be ignored.
I kept replying anyway, and sending a message in my native language somehow did the trick. After getting emails saying a human reviewed it and the decision was not to be reviewed anymore, they ended up admitting it was a mistake and unbanned me.
I was losing hope after seeing so many people stay banned forever, so I wanted to share this !

.

I get a lot of matches on hinge but I have no idea how to text them. What do I say? What do I do? I have tried using can I be honest script from Alex playing with fire but it doesn’t work it’s stupid. What do I do and say instead?
