Hey, I’ve already done my homework on bypassing a Bumble ban, but I know their detection system is sharp. I’ve read frustrating stories of people changing a lot of things but still getting banned again. So I hope to do things right. I’m in the Philippines and my old account was banned on 16 Oct 2024. For context, I believe the ban came from a report out of spite : I had a date, decided we weren’t a good match, and I think she reported me afterward. I don’t send anything NSFW or violate guidelines. Bumble worked far better for me than Tinder (Platinum) or CMB (Premium), so I wanna be as surgical as possible in creating a clean new account. Based on what I’ve read, here’s my current plan. Can you confirm if I’m missing anything or if some of this is overkill ? What I think I need: New phone – Does brand/model matter ? Would a cheap phone work for this purpose ? New SIM / number – Prepaid vs postpaid? (all SIMs in the Philippines are now government-registered. Does this matter to Bumble ?) New email address – Does the provider matter ? (All my current emails are Gmail.) What I think I need to do: New pictures – Does the lineup have to be completely different, or can I reuse a few strong ones from my old account ? Don’t link IG to the new Bumble account. Don’t use old networks – Avoid home Wi-Fi or any networks I used my old account on. Be careful with location – Even on data, avoid logging in from my home or other areas I regularly used the old account. Once I get a match’s contact info, unmatch immediately to avoid future reports. Questions I still have: Has enough time passed since the ban for a “cool down” ? (Ban date: 16 Oct 2024.) Is it safe to upgrade to Premium later (after the new user boost), or could that trigger flags since my old account was Premium ? Should I verify my new account or avoid it ? In the Philippines, new SIMs are government-registered. Could Bumble see that info and connect it to me, or do they not have access ? Can I reuse my old bio/about me text ? (It’s been one of my strongest hooks, based on Alex's own material.) Does Bumble flag/review the messages I send ? I don’t send NSFW stuff, but I reuse similar openers/lines over time. Should I also use a VPN or IP spoofing on my new phone to further disguise my network location, even if I’m already avoiding my old home Wi-Fi and sticking to mobile data ? Really appreciate any advice from folks who’ve actually done this cleanly. Trying to lock in a fresh start and not end up auto-banned again.

I think youre overthinking this a bit. You just need a new device, new number, and new email. The rest doesnt matter. New photos perhaps if you wanna really play it safe. But ive recreated my acct with same exact photos without issue

Thanks man. What about prompts/bio, safe to reuse the same, or better to change them up too ?
