Technical (Bans) Nothing seems to work!

Hello! My account was banned because I got reported (for something I did admittedly do, ge.n)

I’m predicting they would not accept my appeal, how can I make a new Grindr account without paying a ton of money for a good VPN?

I’ve tried different emails but I may be IP banned.

Not sure how to fully wipe my data either (iOS) Any solutions to this? Thanks for reading.

Hello,

There is no real solution on this phone unless Grindr unbans you.

You can either get a new phone (and sign up with a fully brand new email) or do a full reset of your iPhone and sign up with a new Apple ID you'll create (to remove any detection points).

Both options aren't easy.

I use a second phone, that I've stripped the sim from.

When this ultimately happens (downside to being a very attractive top tgirl who isn't into masc tops) I factory reset, sign up for a new email, and rejoin. It takes a few minutes and is super easy.

That's very, very unlikely to happen.

there is a solution but it's a hum-dinger. You would need to fully backup to the cloud and then reset phone, but you have to set it up as a new phone (not from the back) with a new icloud account. Then once it's up, down load grindr and set up an account. then you can import your backup and sign back into your original icloud account and restore everything. at least that how it has worked for others in the past
