Getting banned from Bumble is frustrating, and most bans are permanent. This means you can’t log back in or create a new account with the same details.
Bumble tracks banned users using:
- Phone number (permanently blocked)
- Device ID (your phone/tablet may be flagged)
- IP address (Wi-Fi or mobile network)
- Apple ID (iPhone) / Google account (Android)
- Photos (may use facial recognition)
- Payment info (previous subscriptions can trigger bans)
To successfully return, everything must be new—number, device, IP, and photos.
Note: Bumble prohibits banned users from creating new accounts. The following methods are for informational purposes only.
Prepare Everything You Need to Start Fresh
Before creating a new Bumble account, you need to remove all traces of your banned profile. This means using completely new details so Bumble doesn’t recognize you.
What You Need to Change:
1️⃣ New Phone Number – Your old number is blacklisted. Buy a new SIM card (prepaid works well) or use a phone verification service like DatingZest Bumblefone.
2️⃣ New Device or Secure Folder (Android Users) – If possible, use a different phone. If not, reset your current phone or use Samsung’s Secure Folder (creates a separate phone environment).
3️⃣ New Email Address – Don’t use the same email as before. Create a fresh email for your new Bumble account.
4️⃣ New Apple ID (iPhone Users) – If using an iPhone, sign up for a new Apple ID before reinstalling Bumble. This helps avoid app store tracking.
5️⃣ New Wi-Fi or IP Address – Do NOT use your old home Wi-Fi. Instead:
- Use mobile data (4G/5G) when signing up.
- Consider a VPN to change your IP.
6️⃣ New Photos – Do NOT reuse old pictures. Bumble may track them using facial recognition. Take new photos with different outfits, angles, or backgrounds.
7️⃣ No Old Account Links – Avoid using the same:
- Spotify
Create a New Bumble Account Without Getting Caught
Now that you have a new phone number, device setup, IP, and photos, it’s time to create your Bumble account carefully. Follow these exact steps to avoid an instant ban.
📱 For iPhone Users (iOS)
1️⃣ Sign out of your Apple ID and create a new Apple ID before reinstalling Bumble.
2️⃣ Reset your device (optional but recommended) to remove any old Bumble data.
3️⃣ Insert your new SIM card (do not use your old number).
4️⃣ Use mobile data (not Wi-Fi) for signup to avoid an IP match.
5️⃣ Download Bumble with your new Apple ID and sign up using your new number.
6️⃣ Upload only NEW photos—no reused pictures from your old profile.
7️⃣ Skip restoring purchases—this can trigger an instant ban.
📱 For Android Users (Samsung Secure Folder Method)
1️⃣ Create a Secure Folder in Samsung settings (acts like a separate phone).
2️⃣ Download Bumble inside Secure Folder—this prevents device tracking.
3️⃣ Insert your new SIM card or use a new phone number from DatingZest.
4️⃣ Use mobile data or a VPN to change your IP during signup.
5️⃣ Create a new Google account (if your old one was linked to a banned account).
6️⃣ Upload only NEW photos and do not reuse old profile details.
📱 For Android Users Without Secure Folder
1️⃣ Use an Android emulator or virtual device (like BlueStacks) to simulate a fresh phone.
2️⃣ Create a new Google account and install Bumble inside the emulator.
3️⃣ Follow all other steps (new number, new IP, new photos).
How to Appeal a Bumble Ban
1. Submit an Appeal via Bumble Support
📌 Go to Bumble’s Help Center → Select “Why was my account blocked?” → Fill out the appeal form.
📌 Explain your case briefly and politely – If it was a false report or mistake, ask for a review. Here’s a ban appeal template to help you request an unban effectively:
I was surprised to find my Bumble account banned, as I always follow the community guidelines and aim for respectful interactions. I believe this might have been a misunderstanding or a false report, and I’d really appreciate a review of my case.
I enjoy using Bumble to make genuine connections, and this ban has left me confused. If there was a specific reason, could you please clarify? I’m more than willing to address any concerns and ensure I comply with your guidelines.
Here are my account details:
- Registered Email: [Your Email]
- Phone Number Used for Signup: [Your Phone Number]
I truly value the Bumble community and would love the opportunity to continue using the platform. Thank you for your time, and I look forward to your response.
📌 Wait for a response – Bumble typically replies within a few days.
2. Contact Bumble on Social Media
📩 Twitter/X: @BumbleSupport
📩 Instagram: @Bumble
Send a DM explaining your situation. Some users report better results through social media.
3. Email Bumble Support
📧 Email: feedback@team.bumble.com
- Subject: “Account Banned – Request for Review”
- Include your registered email & phone number
- Explain why you think the ban was a mistake
What If Your Appeal Is Denied?
The ban is permanent if Bumble rejects your appeal or doesn’t respond within a week. Your only option is to create a new account using the full reset method (new number, device, IP, and photos).
🚨 Do not submit multiple appeals—if Bumble denies it, move on to a fresh account.
When an Appeal Might Work
✔ If the ban was due to a false report or mistake.
✔ If Bumble flagged your profile incorrectly (e.g., mistaken for a fake account).
When an Appeal Won’t Work
❌ If you violated Bumble’s Community Guidelines (harassment, spam, hate speech, etc.).
❌ If you’ve been banned multiple times or already denied an appeal.
Avoid Getting Banned Again (First 48 Hours & Long-Term Tips)
Now that your new Bumble account is active, it’s crucial to avoid detection and prevent another ban. The first 48 hours are critical, and how you use the app can determine whether you stay undetected.
❌ DO NOT:
- Link old social media (Facebook, Instagram, Spotify).
- Use the same job title, bio, or unique details from your old profile.
- Swipe too fast or on every profile—this looks like bot behavior.
- Try to restore old purchases—this is an instant red flag.
- Verify your profile with a selfie if you already verified before (Bumble may recognize your face).
✅ DO:
- Swipe naturally and slowly—don’t rush.
- Use mobile data or a VPN for the first few days to avoid an IP match.
- Chat normally—avoid copy-pasting messages to multiple matches.
- Monitor your account—if you get logged out suddenly, Bumble may have detected something.
Final Thoughts
✅ You can get back on Bumble, but everything must be new.
✅ Changing your phone, number, IP, and photos reduces detection risk.
✅ iPhone users should get a new Apple ID; Android users can use Secure Folder.
✅ If banned again, review what you missed and try again carefully.
And with this, you’re all set to resume your Bumble journey!
Liam.
