im sure this was asked before, but, unsure how to search on this forum to find past topics.
I think I was shadow banned as some girl complained to me about my bio change relating to corona and the hint of meeting up then unmatched me.
Now I am getting 0 new likes/matches after like 100 swipes. Maybe corona took them all out and cast this dry spell on me but if yall are still getting new tinder matches then I assume the end of the world didn't hit quite yet.
If one is shadow banned, what is the go to process to recover? like I still have old likes & matches, are those affected too?

Hey, yes the search feature is in development right now. You should generally be getting more matches now, not less. How many matches a day were you averaging before. Also which version of tinder do you have?

I was averaging 2-5 per day if I did 100 swipes but I dropped to 0 matches and 0 new likes
I use Android & Web and the free version of tinder
I did finally get 1 match but it was from someone from another country using the passport feature :/
You mentioned generally getting more matches now, how many are you currently getting right now if you dont mind?
also, I think I recall you mentioning being shadow ban before, what were the symptoms? and recovery

Gotcha man. Yea it’s either shadow ban or a glitch. Try moving your distance to 1 mile. Let it reload and swipe for a bit, then love your distance out to like 40 miles. If it’s a glitch that should do the trick, if not let me know and we can try to figure out how to deal with shadow ban
I’m generally getting 20-25 matches a day. Half of which meet my standards
I’ve actually never personally been shadow banned. I’ve heard stories though
