Hi all! I would have 4 questions, regarding the unban procedure. Do I also need to create a new Apple or Google id/account for downloading the Tinder from the store or can I use the old one? Did it work for you with your old Apple ID? Do I need to use VPN just during the registration or every time I want to use Tinder to not detect my old public IP address? ( Doest Tinder check my IP address just during registration or every time/time to time I use the app? ) I called my ISP and they cannot change my public IP address, lol. But I want to avoid to use VPN all the time because drains the battery more and my location ( miles away distance ) in the app is not the best in some cases. As far as I know, Tinder also tracks your device id ( not just advertisement id), but with factory reset is your device id will be really reset? If I just remove the metadata and crop the pictures differently is enough to avoid ban again? Or do I need to use cloaking software (Fawkes) ? (One of my pictures can't be modified without artificial visible distortion, other pictures look like the original, so I have problem with just one picture(my best picture)) Many thanks for the help in advance!

Hmmm tried to recreate my profile, but maybe now am I shadowbanned?
The problem is that I get the same people over and over again like I cannot do effective swipes and the same persons showed me (at least 6x times so far, even if I swipe left ). However, I cannot run out of likes even though I have the free version of Tinder. Is this some kind of bug or am I shadowbanned?

Seems to be the case. Can you change up your pictures?

Yes I am able to modify my pictures. (add and delete) I was even able to verify my profile. However, I am not able to delete my profile! I have got this message if I want to do it: "Failed to delete account"
I don't know if it is shadowban or just some kind of technical error ( but I doubt it ) They even let my profile to be verified......
Why don't they just simply ban me if they want? I don't have any subscription, I am just using the free version.
However, I didn't change my gmail account, but ofc I didn't use it for the registration. I created a new email and I had a new SIM card and I used that for the registration. I also performed a factory reset on my phone. Tinder shouldn't be able to see I think which google account do I use in the pay store? Or am I wrong?
Maybe they blocked me because of the VPN ? I set it to a really far away country.

I am dealing with the EXACT same issue. (https://forums.playingfire.com/posts/shadowbanned-or-tinder-not-working).
Have you had any luck on your end?
