Tinder – Match, Chat, Date, Your Way. It is one of the most used dating apps in the 21st century. The app has made a revolution and changed the way people date. The app simplified the way of dating by just swiping left and right. But when you use Tinder for a very long time, you will get to swipe repeated accounts again and again. That is why a lot of people reset their Tinder account to get new matches. If you want to reset your Tinder account and make a fresh start to your Tinder life, this is what you need to do. To start with, you must know that, in Tinder, there is no separate option to reset your account, instead you must delete your Tinder account and create a new profile.
You have your own reasons for deleting or resetting your Tinder account. It may be that you hate Tinder, or since you had found a successful match and no longer need the app, or you just want to use the app again from the scratch, or you are shadowbanned from the app, account being inactive for a long period, etc.
Pros and Cons of Deleting your Tinder Account
- When you open a new Tinder account after the delete and restore process, you will get new profiles to match with.
- If you have a Tinder Plus or Tinder Gold subscription, it will be lost with your old account. You can’t renew it.
- You can only use your phone number after three months of deleting your account. If you want to create a new account within three months, you have to use alternate numbers (Virtual Phone numbers won’t work on Tinder).
- If you use the same Facebook account on your new Tinder, you may not get new matches.
