A ban on Tinder isn’t ideal, and to make it even worse, what if you think it was for no reason?
In most cases, you’ll get a notification when attempting to sign into your account. If your account is under review, this means you have been reported by multiple users and are currently under investigation.
Although this is frustrating, we have compiled some helpful tips and tricks to help you with this issue.
Why is my Tinder account banned for no reason?
It’s unlikely that your Tinder account will be banned for no reason. Typically, this happens when you breach Tinder’s terms and conditions.
Some of the most common reasons Tinder might close your account include:
- Pretending you are someone else
- Inappropriate language and comments
- Scamming
- Racism and sexism
- Sharing unwanted and inappropriate images
- Being homophobic
- Spamming
- Lying about your age when you signed up
Can I dispute my Tinder account being banned?
Tinder offers an appeal process where you can dispute their decision for the ban. If it is your first time, they may reconsider. Although, if it’s not, you’ll have a more challenging time convincing Tinder support to give you access to your account.
How to appeal to get my Tinder account unbanned?
You need to politely appeal to the Tinder Support Team to submit an appeal. However, they reject most of the appeals. But if you’re serious about the issue and adamant you didn’t break the rules, it’s worth speaking to someone who can help at Tinder. If you’re looking to speak to a human about this, you can seek further assistance by emailing help@gotinder.com.
Be sure to be as detailed as possible whilst keeping your email short. After all, they have a lot of appeals to work through. Sadly, you won’t always get a reply, and if you still don’t hear back after a month, it’s safe to say you probably won’t.
If you are unable to regain access to your account, it’s time to move on to the next step. Making a new account.
Is it possible to make a new Tinder?
It is possible to make a new Tinder account. However, you will need to take some additional steps.
New SIM card
Unfortunately, if your phone number is already linked to your Tinder account, setting up a new one will require a new phone number/SIM card. You can easily buy one and charge it; nevertheless, if you ever forget your password or need a one-time code to sign in, you will need to switch to your other SIM unless you have a phone that allows a dual SIM.
Make a new Facebook account
If you’re looking for a free alternative, why not make a new Facebook profile? However, you do need to set up a whole new Facebook. Whether you plan to switch everything over or have a few friends on a new account, you can log in via Facebook instead of mobile.
Top tip: Make sure not to link your Instagram if it was attached to your old account.
