You open Feeld and see “Your account has been terminated.” No warning, no context, no clear next step. It’s frustrating, especially for a non-Match Group app.
The good news: there are two paths to getting unbanned. First, appeal and ask Feeld to review the decision. Second, if the appeal goes nowhere, start over with a clean setup that doesn’t trip the same wires.
This guide merges both approaches into one clear plan…
Why Bans Happen and What Feeld Tracks
Most bans are a result of reporting (for a good reason or otherwise). With enough independent reports, accounts get banned promptly, without second thought and a message saying “Feeld your account details didn't pass our safety checks”.
Common triggers include:
- Suggestive-but-not-explicit photos;
- Bio lines that read like solicitations;
- No-face photos or an empty/thin bio;
- Short copy-paste messages that look like spam;
- Mislabelled gender, or a setup that doesn’t match how you present.
As for handles/links, Instagram is the only outside handle allowed. Don’t add TikTok, Snapchat, Telegram, WhatsApp, phone numbers, OnlyFans, Cash App, or any payment/event links.
When it comes to photos, no nudity or “strategic crops,” no sexual acts or toys, no guns/illegal drugs, and never photos with minors (even innocent family shots).
What Data Feeld Tracks (and Why Bans Repeat)
Feeld may track specific user data the same way Tinder does, so when banned users try to return, they’re recognized and re-banned.
Identifiers tied to your account: email, device ID, IP address, and sometimes phone number (if SMS is used). Feeld also retains OS/app version and (if granted) location.
Paused/inactive profiles are terminated after ~1 year; personal data is typically deleted ~90 days after termination (longer if required by law). Reusing identifiers before that window can still link you.
If you reuse any of the above (same device/Wi-Fi/email/number), a new account can be flagged within minutes, which is why many instant re-bans happen on the same phone and home network.
1. Appeal Your Feeld Ban the Right Way
If the ban was caused by a misunderstanding, ambiguous content, or a borderline policy issue, a clear appeal has a real chance.
The goal isn’t to argue; it’s to show you read the rules, you understand what may have been misread, and you’re ready to fix it. Before the appeal, check your profile:
- Replace any borderline photo (cropped body shots, lingerie, suggestive selfies).
- Remove every off-app handle except Instagram.
- Tighten the bio so it reads like a human introduction, not a promo.
- Submit the appeal and say what you changed.
How to appeal, step by step:
- Go to support.feeld.co.
- Open the chat widget in the bottom right.
- Select “My account is banned (existing user).”
- Enter the email you used for the account.
- Write your message and submit.
If the chat isn’t working, send an email to support@feeld.co. Subject: Ban Appeal – Feeld Account (your email). Include the email tied to the account, the date of the ban, a short, respectful explanation, and a direct request for a review.
Quick message template:
“Hi Feeld Support,
My account under [your email address] was recently terminated. I’m not sure why this happened and would like to request a review.
I’ve read the Community and Photo Guidelines and will follow them closely. If something I posted violated a rule, it wasn’t intentional, and I’m happy to update or remove it.
Thank you for your time,
[Your name or Feeld name]”
What to Expect from Feeld Support?
Expect a short, privacy-leaning reply within a few business days. Feeld won’t name reporters or quote messages.
Appeals tend to work when you didn’t actually break a rule, when the issue was a photo or wording that could be misunderstood, when you acknowledge a mistake and propose a clear fix, and when it’s your first moderation issue.
If you’re denied, make one concrete change (swap the photo/line that likely triggered reports) and send one polite follow-up. If the second answer is no, treat it as final.
If you had a paid Majestic subscription, include billing in the same ticket. Feeld doesn’t refund justified bans. App Store and Google Play refunds follow each store’s rules. Request those directly if needed.
2. Start Over With a New Feeld Account
Trying to create a new account after a permanent ban may violate Feeld’s Terms, or even if you can't create an account on Feeld and it can lead to immediate re-bans if the system links your new profile to old identifiers.
1. Don’t reuse identifiers. Create a brand-new email never used on Feeld. If SMS is requested, verify with a number that’s never been used on Feeld; avoid recycled/VoIP numbers. Opt for something like DatingZest Feeld Phone Numbers instead, which has been proven to reverse bans.
2. Change the environment you sign up on. Create the account on a different device or, at minimum, fully remove the app and its data, then sign up on a fresh connection.
Mobile data during signup is usually cleaner than shared Wi-Fi. Free, overused VPNs are often flagged. If you can’t use mobile data, use a reputable VPN with a clean residential exit or a different physical network.
- Android: uninstall Feeld → clear app data/cache → reset your GAID (Advertising ID) → sign up on mobile data for the first run.
- iOS: there’s no user-resettable IDFA anymore; success reports come from using a different device (or a full device erase as a last resort) and a new Apple ID if you truly start over.
3. Rebuild the profile so it doesn’t get mass-reported. Use clear, non-sexual photos. Skip cropped body shots that can read as nudity. Don’t link to outside platforms, don’t add payment handles, and don’t mention sex work or promotions.
Write a simple bio that sounds human and matches your settings. If you’re a couple, don’t run a one-person profile for two people: use Feeld’s paired/linked setup so your intent is clear and less likely to be misreported.
4. Go slow. New accounts that blast likes, paste the same opener, or push people off-app immediately get reported; it’s similar to Hinge’s ban system. Settle the profile first, let it breathe, then use normal engagement patterns.
Feeld Bans: Final Notes
Feeld doesn’t publish autoban report thresholds, appeal success rates, or the full list of device/IP signals used to link accounts.
The community strongly suggests that thresholds and tracking exist, but nothing official. A lot of bans aren’t about intent. They’re about how something reads to other people at speed.
The cleanest path back is simple: fix the obvious issues, appeal once with a clear plan, and rebuild a profile that gives no mixed signals. Use real photos, honest settings, and a normal cadence.
If you decide to start over after a denial, do it once, do it cleanly, and avoid any reuse of the old data. That keeps you within the spirit of the rules and reduces the chance of another instant ban.
