   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.
2. 2
