In this article:More...Tinder account Under Review – Summary
No time to read the entire article? Here are the key takeaways:
- When enough users report you or the algorithm suspects something is wrong, Tinder will review your account to see if you broke the community guidelines.
- When you’re under review, you won’t be able to swipe or send and receive texts, matches can’t see your profile, and you won’t be able to delete your account.
- To resolve an account under review, you need to wait for the process to finish and cooperate with Tinder if they ask you for any additional information. The waiting time can be anywhere from a few minutes to multiple days or even weeks.
Your best chances of getting your account back are to be as cooperative as possible. It does take some time, so be patient.
How do I know if my account is under review?

There are a few reasons why your account would be under review.
Most of them have to do with suspicious activity, or someone reporting you for violating community guidelines.
But here’s the quick checklist:
- Your ID is being verified.
- You may have violated Tinders Community Guidelines.
- Your account is tied to suspicious activity.
- You’ve been reported too often.
- You’re using info connected to a banned account.
So have you been a bad boy and uploaded photos of Brad Pitt when you actually look like Shrek? Well, that’s a violation, and can cause you to get reported or flagged.
Did you lie about your age, saying 16 instead of 42? That’s sus.
You open all your conversations with “Sex u me?” (I’d report you just for having bad game in this case.)
Regardless, now you’re under review, so follow the next steps.
Its psychologically irresistible to ignore. I call it the Clickbait-Opener. And I made a free video with screen-shot examples on how to use it.

How long will your Tinder Account be under review?
It depends.
It depends on what led to the review. If it’s verifying a photo, maybe a day or two. If it involves multiple reports or serious violations of the guidelines, then it typically takes longer, sometimes weeks.
Now, I know you’re itching to swipe, match, and chat with potential cuties, but don’t try to work around this process.
It can be seductive to create a new account now, but that will make Tinder even angrier and lead to your account possibly getting permanently banned.
So is there anything you can do while your Tinder account is under review? Can you speed up the process?
Nope. There is nothing you can do besides wait. Sowwwwyyyyyyy. 🙁

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I still use Tinder while my account is under review?
Sort of, and it depends on what is being reviewed.
If it’s just a photo, you can still use Tinder pretty normally.
If your entire account is under review, you can’t use anything and will have to wait for the review process to finish up.
Can I contact Tinder support about my account under review?
Yes!
You can scroll down to Help & Support in the Tinder app to submit an issue and speak with their support team. They’ll be able to answer any questions you have.
Can I create a new Tinder account while being reviewed?
It’s technically possible, but can lead to complications. Creating multiple accounts is a violation of Tinder’s terms of service, especially when done during an account review.
So you do run the risk of having both accounts getting permanently banned. It’s better to wait for the review process to finish before trying to make a new or different Tinder account.
How can I avoid having my Tinder account placed under review?
There are a few things you can do to ensure your account doesn’t get placed under review.
- Follow Tinder’s community guidelines.
- Use accurate profile information.
- Upload appropriate content.
- Avoid unusual activity. Limit swiping activity and don’t use third party apps.
- Don’t be offensive or conflict seeking.
Now, you can do all of these things, and still get reported if someone doesn’t like you. It happens. But follow these points and the chances of getting reported will be much lower.
