How to Recover Grindr After Getting Banned — Step-by-step Guide with TigerSMS

With such a powerful role in online and social matchmaking across the planet, Grindr has an impressive (and strict) test for moderation. If another user hits the report button against your profile, or the system triggers it as a false positive, the platform can literally suspend you in seconds permanently. 

After one suspension, the website bans that email address as well as personal mobile number linked with it. Additionally, the app records a unique fingerprint for your hardware which prevents attempts to create a new profile on that device. On another note, usually some of them want to stay completely anonymous on the platform so it does not ask for your personal phone number, nor force your offline contacts into an online profile. 

In this article, we describe how Grindr instituted its security policies and share a tutorial on creating a completely new, pseudonymous account with virtual numbers from TigerSMS. 

Dealing with the complexities of bypassing restrictions to Grindr 

Some platforms only make it difficult to access your account if you are using a different email:

• Mobile Number Blocklists: The mobile number of the banned account prevents future registrations using this number. 

• Spotting VoIP Lines: The app rejects virtual lines and common web-based digits (like those for Google Voice or Burner) and flags them as invalid when registering. Make sure you have a cellular number backed by SIM that can do this, which is key so consider it as like setting up, but not successful. 

• Hardware-Level Fingerprinting: The platform identifies your unique device hardware ID (IDFV on Apple devices or Android ID on Android). Trying to access a new profile on that same device will almost always lead to an immediate ban. 

An Effective workaround — Hardware Reset, TigerSMS 

To regain access, you need to provide the server with entirely new identifiers. You need to change your hardware digital footprint and the number used for verification 

Step 1: Change the digital signature on your device 

Your smartphone needs to look like it is completely unrelatable to your older profile for the system afterwards track clear.

• For Android Devices: Go to system settings and factory reset the device Set up the device from scratch like a whole new phone, DO NOT restore any cloud backup  

• For iOS Devices: Perform a complete device wipe and restore. While setting up the smartphone, sign in with a completely different Apple ID that is not linked to the suspended one Download the App Store app directly. 

Step 2: Get a Clean Mobile Number with TigerSMS 

When you have a clean device, then high quality line (Better not flagged in the platform) is required 

1) Login to your account in TigerSMS 

2) Fund your account using any method of payment that you wish. 

3) Please search on directory services "Grindr" 

4) Choose a country based on your present network or proxy locati0n and buy the line. The number you select will appear instantly on your Invoice page.  

Step 3: Set Up Your Profile 

1) Run the newly installed app on your reset phone. 

2) Select register by email; this must be a brand new email address (do not link the Google or Facebook profiles of your previously-hacked account)  

3) Enter your Date of birth and create your first details. 

4) Paste the virtual line from TigerSMS into the application when it asks for a verification number click on "Get SMS". 

Step 4: OTP full pass 

1) Go back to your TigerSMS

2) Once you have rented a number, the incoming OTP will ping next to your rented number within minutes

3) Copy this code, paste it in the verification screen of application and confirm your registration

Instructions for Keeping Your Account Together  

So, here are the steps to protect your new profile from being automatically linked with the suspended one: 

• Do not Re-Upload Media: The security system identifies re-uploaded image with the time interval of that account’s blacklisted media by linking it to an image hash. Uploading identical images from your previous profile may effectively trigger an automatic block. Make sure it consists of fresh new photos; 

• Do not share your contacts: In the initial setup process, deny any requests to synchronize with your address book. This allows to have the website and tool private from public, not allowing to associate your real life social net;

• Get Other Payment Portals: for paid subscriptions you will need to not use credit cards or app store payment accounts associated with the banned profile. 

Conclusion

Being suspended from the platform is annoying, but doesn't require that you buy a whole new device or a contract SIM card. Utilizing a virtual number for verification is an hassle-free process to withdrawal from verification hurdles, perform clean hardware reset (where required), and retrieve access securely by remaining anonymous to the website through TigerSMS.
