Creating a new account on Tinder is your best bet to get around the ban. However, the new account must be vastly different from the banned one. Do the following:
1. Cancel any active subscription
If you have an active Tinder subscription for the account, cancel it to block Tinder from charging your account in the future. However, if you have a subscription using the direct credit card option on Android or via Tinder.com, the subscription will cancel automatically.
2. Get a VPN
From research, Tinder keeps your deleted data for 3 months, so they may keep a cache of your banned IP for at least 3 months. You need to use a VPN to change your IP address, keeping Tinder in the dark about your return to the platform.
When visiting Tinder via a browser, use private browsing or incognito mode. This mode makes sure your browser does not keep cookies or cache data Tinder can use to match your new account to the banned one.
3. Sign up with new phone number and email
Use a different phone number — do not repeat the old one. It’d only be reasonable to reuse the old number after 12 months when Tinder would be deleted the data.
You can use a VOIP number or a new number online. You’d also require a new email address. If creating a Gmail, you can have multiple accounts with one number.
4. Take new photos
Do not repeat your old photos. Tinder has facial recognition technology, meaning they can tell your photos, though not accurately.
Use new photos with a little touch of editing to keep them from knowing it’s you. Make sure to use a different device—do not repeat your old device due to EXIF, which can help Tinder track your photos. Alternatively, you can install an EXIF remover app to clear the photo data before uploading it on Tinder.
Usually, Tinder will flag and ban users they banned that returned to the platform. The solution is to follow the steps above and make sure not to repeat any behavior that violates Tinder’s community guidelines.
