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

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.

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?

One more question: I can see I can directly change my apple ID if I login into my apple account by just setting a new email address. Is this enough for the trick? Did someone try it?

Thank you guys for your answers so far!! :)) If somebody else has some experience after the Tinder ban don't be shy to share with us, the more information we get the more effectively we can tackle this problem and who read this in the future.

Unfortunately the router reset ( power off for at least 30 secs) didn't give me a new IP address, I called the ISP they cannot change my public IP address ( lol ), so I don't know how long will I have the same. The problem is that I have a mobile internet subscription as well, and with the 4G/5G connection my IP address stays the same as well.

Is any solution to this? To get a new IP address both landline and LTE (4G/5G) without using VPN. Using VPN is not a problem for me on PC but on my mobile, I wouldn't drain the battery with a VPN softwaer if there is a solution.

• Maybe I would just need to request a new router with some kind of false fact that I poured the router with water, I am afraid now of a fire accident or something.
• Or as far as I know I can also install a VPN directly on the router

BUT I don't have any idea for mobile internet stuff....
