Hinge ban vs Tinder ban — they're not the same thing

Common misconception: "I got banned on Hinge, so Tinder is gone too." Not quite. Match Group LLC owns both, but the ban systems aren't fully unified.

What's shared - Your **Apple ID / Google account** (if you used the same one) - Your **phone number** - Your **payment method fingerprint** (if you ever paid Hinge+ or Tinder Gold) - Your **photos' perceptual hashes** (Match Group does share these across apps) - Your **device ID** (IDFA/GAID)

What's NOT shared - Your in-app behavior history - Your appeal / report records - Your account-level Elo - Reports filed against you on one app don't auto-flag the other

What this means in practice If you got Hinge-banned for a specific behavior (say, a report from a match), Tinder probably hasn't flagged you yet. But the moment you try to install Tinder on the same device with the same Apple ID + same phone number + same photos, you're at high risk of being flagged on Tinder too — because the *device-level* signals are shared.

The fix A proper reset that handles all the shared signals (device ID, phone, Apple ID, photo hashes) gets you a clean slate on both apps simultaneously. That's why our [Bundle tier](/) is priced as one job — once you've reset the device, adding the Tinder side is marginal work.

If you only care about one Get the [Done For You](/) tier for $249. We reset your device for your chosen app, leaving the other one untouched. Most customers do this and never bother with the second app.
