Resetting your Tinder account seems irrelevant to getting your account better matches since the algorithm learns as you use the dating app. In fact, resetting your account too many times or within a short time frame can get your account shadowbanned! This wikiHow article shows you how to reset your Tinder account safely and gives you tips to get better and more matches.
- Tinder no longer relies on your Elo score to match you with people, so the best way to get more matches is to be active on the platform!
- The best way to reset a Tinder account is by waiting 92 days after you delete it before making a new account.
- If you don't need to reset your account, you can beef up your profile by using good photos, including an interesting bio, and more.
Resetting if You Log in with Facebook
Delete your account. Open Tinder and go to "Settings" then click Delete My Account at the bottom of the page. Use this method to reset your Tinder account if you use Facebook to log in. You can do these steps on either an iPhone or Android. The safest and best way to reset your Tinder account is to wait 3 months or 92 days after deleting your account and making a new one. If you do this too quickly (within 24 hours) or too often, Tinder will flag your account as spam or a bot and might shadowban your account temporarily or completely ban you. In order for a complete reset to work, you'll need new information, like a new email account, a new Google Play Store account or Apple ID, a new phone number, and a new IP address.
Uninstall Tinder. Tap and hold the Tinder app icon and then tap x to uninstall it.
Open Facebook and log into the account linked with Tinder. Tap the Facebook app icon to open it. The goal here is to disconnect Facebook and Tinder so it doesn't use the same data when you install the app again.
Navigate to settings. Tap your profile picture or the three-line menu icon, then tap Settings & privacy > Settings.
Click Apps and websites. You'll see it under the "Your information" header next to an icon of a 3-D square.
Tap the Tinder result and select Remove. If you don't see Tinder immediately, you may need to scroll down and tap See more. Tap Remove in the pop-up to confirm your choice.
Create a new Facebook account with another email address. You want to create a new Facebook account so when you log into Tinder again, your previous information isn't refreshed in the app. If you want to be really safe, reset your phone or get a new one before continuing. If you're using the same internet connection that you had when you uninstalled the app, such as your home network that hasn't been restarted, restart your router now to get a new IP address.
Reinstall Tinder. If you intend on signing up again with Tinder Plus or Tinder Gold, you'll need a new Google Play account or Apple ID. If you're using a new Google Play account, create a new Google account then switch to that account in Google Play. If you're using an Apple ID, create your new Apple ID and use it to re-install the app.
Open Tinder and log in using your new Facebook account. If you use your previous Facebook account, all your previous data will be restored, ruining your chances of making a new Tinder account. If you didn't wait for 92 days, or 3 months, before creating your account, you'll need to enter a new phone number.
Enter your phone number and verify it. Once your phone number has been verified, you can continue creating a new profile. Don't use the same pics or text from your previous profile as it might be flagged by the Tinder algorithm.
Resetting if You Log In with a Phone Number
Delete your account. Open Tinder and go to "Settings" then click Delete My Account at the bottom of the page. Use this method on Android or iPhone if you use a phone number to log in, not a Facebook account. The safest and best way to reset your Tinder account is to wait 3 months or 92 days after deleting your account and making a new one. If you do this too quickly (within 24 hours) or too often, Tinder will flag your account as spam or a bot and might shadowban your account temporarily or completely ban you. In order for a complete reset to work, you'll need new information, like a new email account, a new Google Play Store account or Apple ID, a new phone number, and a new IP address.

Tips for More Matches on Tinder
Upload attractive photos. Make sure the first photo that you upload shows you from the chest up without other people in it.
Show off your personality. Using your profile bio or photos, make sure to let your personality shine. But don't let that overwhelm your bio! Use at least one photo to show off your funny or adventurous side.
Use a prompt in your bio. This will make the other person want to send you a message! You can also check out The Best Tinder Bios & Tips for Guys for the best bios guys can use.
Swipe left sometimes. Be discerning with your swipes and the Tinder algorithm will start working with you! Mindlessly swiping right actually decreases the odds that you'll get a match, so looking at profiles and reading their bio to influence your decision to swipe left or right gives the algorithm data about your preferences.
