Are you banned or blocked from Bumble? Is Bumble block and ban final?
You tried to log in to Bumble and once you logged in, you saw a pop-up that your Bumble account has been blocked? This unfortunately means your account has been banned from bumble.
In this blog post, we are going to explain everything you have to know about Bumble blocking your account. Is a Bumble block or ban a permanent action, or can it be temporary? We'll go over all of the possible reasons why your account was banned from Bumble.
We will also discuss the difference between a shadowban and a hard ban at the end of the article, as well as how to get your account unblocked if you have been blocked from Bumble.
1. Bumble Bans And Blocks
Because Bumble has become one of the most popular dating app platforms, the number of crazy people, creeps, and bots has increased significantly.
To keep Bumble a safe, fun, and enjoyable platform, profiles that have violated their Terms of Service and make Bumble a less enjoyable dating app are banned from Bumble.
You should also keep in mind that the majority of Bumble bans and blocks are triggered by other users reporting profiles. As a result, you must ensure that when you send messages and edit your profile, you do so in a way that does not offend others. Because you can be certain that if you are reported multiple times, you will have a greater chance of being blocked by Bumble.
2. Banned From Bumble
You can be fairly certain that you have been banned or blocked from Bumble.
When you try to log in to your account, you will see the following screen:
Bumble Account Suspended
If you are unable to log in, check your email address; if they have it, they will send you an email informing you of the block.
3. Is A Bumble Block Final Or Temporary?
If your Bumble block was not an accident and the reasons for the block are legitimate, there is no way to regain access to your currently blocked account.
Even if you believe the block is unjust and have not violated their Terms of Service or Community Guidelines, you have no chance of regaining access to your account. These Bumble bans are not temporary; they are Bumble's final decision, which cannot be overturned.
4. Why Did Bumble Ban My Account?
Bumble has decided to block your account for a variety of reasons. You can read Bumble's Terms of Service and Community Guidelines, which will allow you to modify your behaviour on the app without fear of your account being banned.
We have also summarised the most important and frequent violations for which most people are reported on Bumble, which will eventually result in account blocks and bans.
• Catfishing, or impersonating someone on Bumble. Not uploading your own pictures.
This rule is well known to Sharon Stone. (She was mistakenly banned from Bumble after her profile was reported as a fake profile multiple times.) Even if you upload a meme as your profile picture, some people may report you and have you banned as a result.
• Automating message sending on Bumble
Bumble claims that if you customize your messages, you will have a better chance, which may be true but takes a long time if you have a lot of matches on Bumble. You don't need to be concerned if you're not automating your entire messaging game with third-party apps.
• Uploading inappropriate images
When it comes to profile pictures, Bumble is quite picky. Even shirtless photos are considered a violation of their policies if they were not taken outside. There is a full blog post with examples from Bumble showing what is allowed and what is not allowed here, but here is the gist of it.
• Not allowed pictures on Bumble:
• Promoting or soliciting stuff
Unlike Tinder, Bumble does not display advertisements in the app, and you cannot use your profile to promote or solicit something (includes prostitution). You also cannot use Bumble to request money in exchange for something.
Behaviour that others might find offensive
Anything that could be considered hate speech, rude or abusive behaviour, bullying, or misogyny falls under this category. Bumble is sometimes referred to as the feminist Tinder, so they take this very seriously in order to make Bumble a safe platform, particularly for women.
We're not surprised that the most common reason for account blocking is a violation of this policy. The problem with this is that what constitutes rude or abusive behaviour is highly subjective. You might try to be funny, but some other users may find that extremely offensive, so it's always better to be safe.
5. How To Get Unbanned From Bumble?
When Bumble bans or blocks your account, you basically have two options. We have a full article where we go over all the details, but here's the gist of it. You can read the detailed article, here.
If you are certain that you have not violated their Terms of Service or Community Guidelines (as detailed above), you can contact them and request a review. This only works if your ban was truly an accident and you did nothing wrong, and no one has ever reported you.
The other option for regaining access to your blocked account is more complicated, but it works when your ban from the platform was well-founded and you have no other choice. It is to reset your Bumble account, which means you delete it and then create a new one. You can read more about Bumble reset in our article, or watch this quick video that shows the gist of how to reset your account.
In this case, because your account was blocked and Bumble refused to let you back into their platform, you must ensure that you do not use any login data when you sign up for a new account so that they cannot connect your old banned account with the new one.
6. Bumble Shadowban
Bumble users speculate that sometimes Bumble does not explicitly ban your account, but instead shadow bans you and limits the number of profile impressions your profiles receive to a bare minimum.
Although Bumble has denied that they will shadowban your account if you reset your Bumble account, it is still possible that they will apply this type of penalty in other cases. If you want to learn more about Bumble shadow bans and find out what the top signs are that your Bumble profile has been shadow blocked, read this article.
If you believe you have been shadowbanned by Bumble, the methods we described above (resetting Bumble) will most likely resolve your problem.
7. Cancel Your Bumble Boost Subscription
It is recommended that you cancel your Bumble Boost subscription if you want to ensure that Bumble does not charge you after you have been banned from their platform and that you do not have to contact them later for a refund.
Even if they explicitly block you from using Bumble, they may still charge you the monthly subscription fee. To be safe, you should cancel your Bumble Boost subscription.
The process of cancelling your subscription varies depending on your phone's operating system, so you should read our article on how to cancel your Bumble Boost subscription.
