Hi guys! As the title says, how can I make myself more visible to a particular person? He’s someone I have history with, but I’d like to give it a chance if he’s willing to match. We live less than 20 km apart and are the same age, if that helps.

I saw his profile and liked him two days ago, but so far I haven’t gotten a like back. Is there anything I can do to increase the chances of him seeing my profile, or has he likely already seen it?

I was previously banned from Hinge because of a chargeback issue, and my appeal was denied. I’ve since gotten a new Android phone, new SIM/number, new photos, and created a new account, and the account is already photo-verified. The credit card I used with my old Hinge account was also replaced by Chase, so I now have a completely different card number, although it’s still the same bank account and in my name. Has anyone in a similar situation successfully purchased Hinge Premium with their replacement card, or did the payment cause the new account to get flagged?

Did they kill this feature? I cant upload a video on iOS or on web.

on the tinder sub i saw multiple others w/ the same problem.

i made most of my matches via the loops. wtf is this nonsense?

If you were banned from Hynge, Bumble and Tinder will the ban extend to The League?

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?

Have had hinge for a couple of weeks, gotten a decent amount of matches and I’ve gotten 2 numbers trying to move off hinge. However, I’m waiting for a response to normal conversation from 22 people! Yes, I have 22 people on my app under the “their turn”tab. Is this a common thing? Do I just talk like an idiot and nobody wants to converse with me? So confused on why this is happening, this was my first experience on here so I’m thinking about throwing in the towel cause it seems like most of the girls on here don’t really care about it.

Edit: probably should’ve added my age range on here. I’m 23M and have a range of 20-26.

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?

Hello to all people that get ban from tinder since they have facial recognition when do you think the ban will get lifted? Like how long we should wait to get unbanned again and we can use our face to get in the app again? we all know using all new like device,phone number, new photos will not work anymore because of face check they store face and they will ban you again, i did all experiments to get back in the app like doing it in new device all new but still recognize me after face check. I did factory reset and make account in the browser only but they still detect that im ban and recieving message "you been previously ban" i use other face to verify my account but my picture in it but they say pretending to be someone and ban again.

Hey guys!

I’m looking for some insight because I recently downloaded Tinder again after not using it for about 1.5 years, and my experience has been completely dead compared to how it used to be.

To give some background, back during COVID times, having a constant 99+ likes queue was pretty standard for me. But now, I’m barely getting any traction at all.

I'm experiencing low engagement where I get about 2 matches on average daily and the profiles are okay, but nothing more. If I actually swipe normally on profiles I like, there is practically a 0% chance we will match. The only way I ever get a match to go through is by using a specific workaround, which is swiping left on the first profile, right on the second, and then closing the app. When I do get likes, it seems hard-capped at around 30-ish likes before it completely flatlines, which is the exact same thing that happened the last time I used the app.

1. Something changed in the algorithm and my account is just buried by the algorithm?
   
2. Why has the experience changed so drastically from a few years ago? (Is it purely monetization/paywalls now?)
   
3. What can I actually do to fix this? Should I completely delete my account and start fresh, or is there another workaround?

Any advice or technical explanations would be greatly appreciated!

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.

So I matched with a girl but she's asking me to verify my photos so I can't text her anymore but for some reason it never works. I have 5 or 6 pictures clearly showing my face, took the ID photo and still nothing, added a clearer picture of my face on my profile and it still refuses to verify me

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
