While online dating, you’ll see how not everything will go your way regarding the dating apps you’re a member of!
Dating apps, especially Bumble, do not take kindly to people who violate guidelines—they get instantly and permanently banned.
On Bumble, this ban is quite hard to get rid of as it requires a…deep cleaning. Fret not, though! That’s what I’m here to show you.
How to get unbanned on Bumble: A simple, step-by-step guide
I wasn’t joking when I said you needed to start with a blank slate. Bumble bans are no joke, and shouldn’t be treated as such.
The process of your data being deleted from the Bumble platform starts after a month, and some are retained no matter what for the sake of keeping banned users, banned.
With that in mind, I will show you an easy, yet thorough guide on how to reverse your Bumble ban.
#1 Step: Acquire a new device.
There are 2 ways you can do this:
- By resetting your phone;
- Or by using a completely different one.
Bumble stores data and your device’s ID qualifies as such, Yes, Bumble bans your device ID. Using the same device will get you banned again.
#2 Step: Connect to a different internet connection.
Bumble most likely tracks banned users’ IP Addresses through their internet connections as a means of keeping them away.
This very reason is why you need to operate on a new Wi-Fi:
- Your mobile phone data like 5G/4G;
- A different router in your home;
- An outsider Wi-Fi.
#3 Step: Open an entirely new ID.
You’re probably rolling your eyes and getting ready to leave this article but trust me when I say that Bumble bans are the equivalent of a clingy ex.
You need a new Apple ID or Samsung Account when you acquire your new device. If you already have one, even better!
Use your new ID to install the Bumble app on your phone once again—do NOT do it on the same App Store/Google Play account!
* I recommend you do not use the same payment method on the App Store.
#4 Step: Get your private DatingZest Bumblefone phone number.
Bumble doesn’t give you a slap on the wrist and call it a day, no. Bumble bans are permanent and very, very difficult to get rid of.
Your new account needs to be a blank slate LITERALLY. There shouldn’t be any evidence that can be tracked back to you or else you might get banned again.
* This includes phone numbers!
DatingZest is your guy. Our service has been specifically designed to unban you from dating apps (Tinder, Grindr, Hinge, etc.) without seeming suspicious.
DatingZest’s Bumble phone numbers are by far the most powerful in the market. All you need to do is get your phone number (which only costs $9.95) and sign up using it on Bumble.
Once you’ve done so, you will receive a code on the very same page you get the phone number—use this code to confirm your #.
This is it. Yep, it’s this easy to get back on Bumble with DatingZest!
After creating your Bumble account: Tips for staying unbanned on Bumble.
The easy part’s done, thanks to DatingZest…now onto the difficult stuff.
You need to fool Bumble into believing you’re not you throughout your stay on the platform; this includes going above and beyond to mask your identity.
Below, you’ll find the essential tips to do so:
– Use another one of your email addresses.
Please, do not recycle the same email address on your new Bumble account if you want to stay unbanned because it could make you look suspicious.
– Beware of the Bumble photo verification system.
Occasionally, Bumble requires users to verify their profiles—even more so than usual if we’re talking about banned users.
There’s only one problem: if you go through with the verification, you might end up getting banned.
But there are many ways you can go about this:
- Start the whole process again IF Bumble forces you to verify your account;
- Change your appearance somehow (makeup, hairstyle, facial hair, pose, and/or lighting, etc.) in an attempt to fool the system;
- Ask someone to undergo the verification process for you.
- Use AI (e.g. deepfaking) to complete the photo verification on Bumble.
Naturally, there’s no telling if any of these will work as Bumble DOES store biometric data…but what other choice have we got?
– Avoid linking your social media to your new Bumble account.
You’re given the chance to link your Facebook, Instagram, and Spotify to your Bumble account, which you mustn’t do.
The Bumble team will recognize there’s a banned user trying to use their platform, resulting in yet another ban.
– Snap some new photos!
Do you know what the biggest mistake I see people make is? Use the same photos as the ones they did on the banned account.
Take some new ones that look considerably different from your previous ones and upload them to your Bumble account.
– Construct another equally as awesome bio.
Yes, it is necessary in order to throw Bumble off your tracks.
But don’t worry. You can make an equally as awesome and interesting bio as your old one—it’s not worth getting banned for a second time.
– Pick another variant of your name.
It’s preferred that you do not use the same name as you did back then. Instead, pick another variant.
For instance, if your name is Benjamin, you can go by Ben or Benji!
– Choose a new payment method.
If you’re thinking of paying for a Bumble subscription, do so using another payment method:
- A different credit card;
- PayPal.
This is so that Bumble has nothing to trace back to your identity.
– Avoid the same people.
There’s a good chance the reason you got banned is that you got reported, in which case it’d only make sense for you to avoid your past matches.
– And of course, respect Bumble’s guidelines.
We should do everything within our power to make one another feel safe, especially on the internet—this goes without saying.
But even so, we all make mistakes and unintentionally rub someone the wrong way. If you got banned for this reason, I recommend you get better acquainted with Bumble’s guidelines.
This way, you avoid accidentally making your matches feel uncomfortable.
Bumble does, in fact, ban your device.
As TechWomen said in their article, Bumble is quite data-hungry, collecting 4 different types of data:
- Location;
- Email;
- Device ID;
- Advertising data.
All of this helps Bumble know who their users are and if any of them are making an unwelcome return.
Bumble takes reports very seriously.
To promote a safe, comfortable online dating platform, Bumble has to take reports very seriously.
Hence not many are needed to boot a user. If I had to take a gander, I’d say up to 5 reports are enough to get someone banned on Bumble.
But of course, there needs to be a valid reason!
* Reporting on Bumble is anonymous, by the way. You can’t see who’s reported you and vice versa.
When to appeal a ban? Beware of “Revenge Reporting”!
Have you heard of the Revenge Reporting trend? Some are reporting their matches out of spite just because things didn’t work out between them.
If you think this is what’s happened to you, I strongly urge you to appeal your Bumble ban here.
Pick the ‘See why I was blocked’ option and describe how you were a victim of revenge reporting—if you have proof, even better!
* What I like to do is document my conversations with my matches by taking screenshots so that when I get revenge reported, I can show the proof to Bumble’s team.
In a nutshell, this is what to avoid.
All things considered, Bumble is seen as one of the most secure dating apps, and you best believe it wants to remain that way,
To give you a recap of everything we’ve talked about, this is what you absolutely must avoid when trying to get unbanned on Bumble:
- – Being disrespectful to fellow Bumble users.
- – Making a new account with the SAME phone number.
- – Re-using the same content (photos and bio).
- – Paying for a Bumble subscription using the same payment method as before.
- – Linking your Facebook, Instagram, or Spotify.
- – Using the same device, Wi-Fi, and phone ID.
- – Undergoing the photo verification feature without being prepared.
And with this, you’re all set to resume your Bumble journey!
Liam.
