Does Tinder ban your device and phone number? – How is it possible?

Just when everything seems light and easygoing, you get a ban from Tinder.

Out of over 75 million users on Tinder, you were the one to get banned! Oh, we’ve been there. Well, a lot of us…

We sure do have a handful of questions when it comes to Tinder and its banning.

There are misunderstandings and unclarity when it comes to Tinder bans and the way they work.

We know why Tinder bans you and how to get unbanned, right?

Now it’s time to have a better understanding when it comes to your phone number and your device. Does Tinder ban your phone number, or your phone (device)? Does it block it, how does it even work?

Here are the answers you’re looking for!

Does Tinder ban your device?

Yes, Tinder bans your device once Tinder bans your account.

This is due to the strict restrictions on banned users. In other words, they really don’t want you back in the app.

Tinder recognizes your phone (device ID), and your Facebook account (if you had it connected to your Tinder account) including your Instagram, your pictures, your phone number, email, and card numbers if you included them.

This information is not displayed on your Tinder profile, but it’s something that you use to use Tinder.

You gave this information to Tinder, they have the data even though temporarily so.

Tinder remembers your device ID, and when you’re banned from the app, they ban your device too (e.g. phone).

How to unban your device from Tinder? Can you unban your device from Tinder, really?

Tinder bans are permanent. They’ll recognize your device no matter what. However, there are some things you can do to unban, or well, to get a way back on Tinder.

Here’s how you unban your device from Tinder:

1. You can try sending a ban appeal to Tinder.

You want to start with the easy things first. Things that don’t take much time, but that give you an extra chance.

If you feel like Tinder didn’t have much of a reason to ban you if you think you respected the community guidelines and rules of Tinder, then you can try sending Tinder a ban appeal at

• help@gotinder.com, or

• questions@gotinder.com

Make your ban appeal friendly and polite instead of angry and accusing.

On the other hand, you can submit a request to Tinder, where you get the chance to politely address the fact that you were banned and that you’d like another shot on the app.

2. An entirely different device.

Considering that when Tinder bans your device it bans your Device ID. Using the same device for a new Tinder account would result in you getting banned again.

What you want to do is use an entirely different device. A device you didn’t use on Tinder before.

If you used the app on your phone, and you got banned, it’s time to use the laptop if you’re trying to get back on the app.

If using Tinder on your computer would make it difficult to download the Tinder app, then you can easily use Tinder.com on the web.

That being said, do not use the same device that you used for your now-banned Tinder account.

3. A factory reset.

A factory reset on your phone, resets your device ID as well. 

Your device ID represents your device. It’s made of unique numbers and letters that identify your device as unique.

What a factory reset does to your device is erase all the information that has been stored on the device so far.

That being said, a factory reset turns your device’s system the way it was before you used it. In other words, it makes it as if it was brand new and unused.

Usually, you can operate a factory reset on your device by finding it in the settings of your device.

If you choose to take this action, make sure you back up things you don’t want to lose from your device.

Otherwise, everything will be erased from your device and never found again if not backed up somewhere else.

Does Tinder ban your phone number? Why?

When Tinder bans your account it bans your phone number too. So, yes, Tinder does ban your phone number.

Since Tinder bans its users permanently, it’s going to be difficult to trespass a Tinder ban on your phone number.

Tinder tells us that “If you’ve been banned, you won’t be able to sign up for Tinder again using your Facebook account and/or phone number.”

Your phone number is banned from Tinder because your account too was banned from Tinder.

When Tinder bans you, they ban all the information that you gave them (phone number, Facebook, email, etc).

Long story short, your account gets banned, and your phone number gets banned too – essentially anything that’s been involved on your Tinder account.

Look out for Tinder shadowbans!

How to unban your phone number from Tinder?

Is it even possible to unban your phone number from Tinder?

Tinder takes the violation of its terms very seriously, so getting your phone number unbanned from Tinder is not possible.

However, if you feel like getting back on the app you can use a new phone number that hasn’t been used on Tinder before, or use a burner number.

Again, trespassing under a Tinder ban isn’t easy, but it’s not impossible.

Here are the steps to a new Tinder account when your phone number is banned on Tinder:

• Get a new Tinder phone number to bypass verification.
  
• Get a different device or operate a factory reset on your current device.
  
• Reset your internet router just in case (unplug and plug it back in again).
  
• Don’t connect to the same email/Facebook/Instagram.
  
• Use the new or fake Tinder number, and create the account.
  
• A bonus step: Use Tinder responsibly, otherwise you’ll get banned again and you’ll end up with too many bans and fake Tinder phone numbers!

Tip: It could help a bit more if you’d use Tinder on the web/using it through a browser (in a new device/another Device ID).

Got banned from Tinder despite your brand new phone number? Well, you might get in trouble if you’re using a disposable number!

The rumors that Tinder bans new accounts with new phones and phone numbers are true. Here’s why!

Disposable numbers (a.k.a burner phone numbers like google voice) are free to use for those who don’t want to use their phone number when creating a Tinder account.

They’re free, they’re easy to access, and anyone can use them, sounds just okay, right? Where’s the trouble in that, you might ask.

The trouble is in the fact that anyone can use those numbers, and they’ll still appear on the lists.

Tinder bans your account when you open it with a new or different number that’s been used before.

Also, Tinder can recognize your device, especially if something wrong was done on Tinder through that device.

If you’ve been trying to open a new Tinder account, and got banned before even opening the account, a disposable number or a new phone number could be the main reason for that.

The previous user of that number could’ve got banned, and now the next user (you) gets banned because of that exact same phone number.

That’s because Tinder remembers and recognizes your phone number, especially if you violated their rules!

This is pretty common and happens a lot to those who use disposable numbers (e.g. google voice) or using texting apps for Tinder.

If you’ve managed to open a Tinder account with a new number and got banned shortly after, then:

• You did something wrong.
• The device you’re using is banned.
• Your ‘new’ number was used by someone else.

If you don’t want to use your own number, and use a new phone number for Tinder, find a reliable source for a fake Tinder number!

It’s very important for the number you’re using to not have been used before since Tinder keeps that data and information for a while.

Here’s what you should consider:

• Old Device (used on Tinder before)+ New Phone Number = A banned Tinder account.
  
• New device ID/New Device + Old Phone Number = A banned Tinder account.
  
• New Device ID/New Device + New Phone Number = A solid Tinder account.

How to get a new phone number for Tinder?

You need a reliable source when it comes to changing your phone number for Tinder. You need a new number that hasn’t been used before on Tinder.

A used phone number can affect your experience on the app whether that phone number got banned or not.

Getting a new, unused phone number for Tinder is quite easier than you thought it’d be!

Here’s how you get a new phone number for Tinder:

• Step 1: datingzest.com > shop > Tinder Sms Phone Verification
• Step 2: Purchase the number
• Step 3: Get the confirmation code from customer support, and you’re good to go!

Make sure you follow the steps correctly and use new and different information from the one you used previously in your (now banned) account.

Put these in your pocket! Considering your banned account on Tinder!

To wrap everything up, a few things you could keep in your pocket:

• Tinder does ban your phone number when it bans your account and there’s nothing you can do to stop it.
• You need a new Device ID (change the current one or get a new device).
• Giving the same information that you gave in your previous (now banned) account will get you banned again.
• Using Tinder responsibly, and avoiding bot-like behavior will actually get you to have a decent experience on the app. Give it a try.
• Tinder does ban your phone too. That’s because Tinder tracks your Device ID, and recognizes the device too.

Getting banned on Tinder is easy, but using it properly is easier. Get your new phone number, new account, and a decently fun bio, and start fresh. Start swiping and get dates!

Good luck,
