Banned on Hinge

I’ve been banned on hinge for a little while now and I tried to use a friends phone number to get back on but they somehow figured banned me again (used different pictures). Seems like I won’t be getting back on anytime soon. I have tried bumble and tinder and both are awful. Meeting people out and in public happens but just not very often and I want to start going out less. Don’t want to spend a lot but willing to spend on an app, what are my options?

I actually met my wife via Tinder when I was literally about to uninstall it because I was having more luck on Bumble. This was a while ago though, and I'm not sure how the platforms have changed. However, I would stay on as many platforms as possible and go on as many high quality dates as possible!

I am still surprised she is my wife LOL. Unexpected in the best way possible.

 

How did you even manage to get banned from Hinge?

That's funny ngl, I've said some shit in those chats and never had a problem. If you think someone's a bot you should always just report & block.

I hear ya. Hinge has better conversion than Bumble or Tinder. I switched to Bumble after my ban, but it's less efficient.

Possible reasons:

  • Hinge supposedly has a better female/male ratio (Tinder is a total shitshow in this respect)
  • You can include messages when you swipe and that creates differentiation
  • Possibly algorithm differences ... it feels like Bumble shows you the most popular girls first (look who's on our app!), even if they are less likely to respond or haven't logged in in a year

I would guess that Hinge can somehow identify you based on device identifiers, actual phone number of your SIM, or things like Apple IDs. But I haven't researched this recently (Apple/Google have been making access to IDs more difficult, for privacy reasons).

A new phone, a new number, and a new account would fix it, but there could be easier ways. Maybe you just messed up somewhere, like not cleanly uninstalling/reinstalling the app (and apps of the same developer, e.g., Tinder). I was pissed and didn't try to circumvent the ban.
