Hello! I really appreciate your advice, I had a

Tinder unband. Do I need to create new AppleID as well? Do I need to use VPN everytime I use Tinder?

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!

Hello!

I really appreciate your advice, I had a successful reset 2 weeks ago, so I leave here for others what are the required steps:

I followed these:

Factory reset ( No new device needed! )
New SIM card ( and phone number ofc)
New email
New Gmail account for play store (Same as my new email address, I didn't do this at the this first time ) / OR new Apple ID
New IP address with VPN during registration ( it worked!! I didn't have have issue with VPN ), now I also tried my old IP address without VPN for a short time, I wasn't banned so far. ( However, I restarted my router, which generated a new address (but it didn't change my public address ). It doesn't matter what is your public IP address is, because I read that multiple households use the same address, If you are banned from your workplace's Wifi your colleagues won't be banned because they use the same network as you. So I think this IP thing is also over mystified, but you should restart your router before the registration )
I used all of my old pictures (5 pictures), just removed all metadata, and cropped them. I didn't use cloaking software. ( So good news you can actually use your old photos easily)
You can use / I used a new virtual debit card from Revolut to avoid ban.

I even verified my profile so the facial recognition algorithm doesn't run in the background I think. It is pretty safe to reuse your old photos and verify your profile with them!

I think my second ban ( the shadow ban) was because of my old google account when I tried to register again. I did everything except the new google account. But I only used the google account for downloading Tinder from the Google Playstore

That's great man. Keep crushing it. You won't be banned from using a VPN but shadowbanned down the line if you constantly switch the servers. So I would still be careful with that.
