class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As Bumble has become one of the most popular dating app platforms, it also means that the number of crazy people, creeps, bots have also increased significantly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To keep Bumble a safe, and fun and enjoyable platform it is not a surprise that Bumble has started to ban profiles that have violated their Terms of Service and who make Bumble a less enjoyable dating app.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You also need to keep in mind that most of the bans and blocks on Bumble are triggered by other users reporting profiles. So you have to make sure that when you send messages and edit your profile you do that in a way that won\u2019t offend other people. Because you can be sure that if you get reported multiple times you will have a higher chance of getting a block from Bumble.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Banned_from_Bumble\"><\/span><b>Banned from Bumble<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you have got banned or blocked from Bumble you can be pretty sure about that.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you try to log in you will see the following screen when you log in to your account:<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-852\" src=\"https:\/\/boostmatches.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Bumble-Account-Blocked.png\" alt=\"Bumble Account Blocked\" width=\"216\" height=\"233\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you can\u2019t log in, check your email address if they have it, they will also send you an email about the block:<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-853\" src=\"https:\/\/boostmatches.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Bumble-Accoun-Banned.png\" alt=\"Bumble Accoun Banned\" width=\"224\" height=\"262\" srcset=\"https:\/\/boostmatches.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Bumble-Accoun-Banned.png 338w, https:\/\/boostmatches.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Bumble-Accoun-Banned-257x300.png 257w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 224px) 100vw, 224px\" \/><\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_a_Bumble_block_final_or_temporary\"><\/span><b>Is a Bumble block final or temporary?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your block by Bumble was not an accident and the reasons for the block are well-founded you have no way to get your current blocked account back.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even if you think the block is unjust and you haven\u2019t violated their <a href=\"https:\/\/bumble.com\/en\/terms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Terms of Service<\/a> or Community Guidelines, you don\u2019t have a chance of getting your account back. These Bumble bans are not temporary, they are a final decision from Bumble that can\u2019t be appealed.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_did_Bumble_ban_my_account\"><\/span><b>Why did Bumble ban my account?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are multiple reasons why Bumble has decided to block your account. You can actually read Bumble\u2019s Terms of Service and their <a href=\"https:\/\/bumble.com\/en\/guidelines\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Community Guidelines<\/a>, so you can modify your behavior on the app and you don\u2019t have to worry ever about Bumble banning your account.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We have also summarized for you the most important and frequent violations for which most people get reported on Bumble that will lead to account blocks and bans eventually:<\/span><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><b>Catfishing, or impersonating someone on Bumble. Not uploading your own pictures.<\/b><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-us-canada-50946431\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sharon Stone can tell you about this rule<\/a>. (she was mistakenly banned from Bumble as her profile was reported multiple times as a fake profile.) Even if you upload some meme as your profile picture, some people might report you because of that and get you banned.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><b>Automating message sending on Bumble<\/b><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bumble claims that you will have a better chance if you customize your messages which might be true but also takes a lot of time if you get a ton of matches on Bumble. You don\u2019t have to worry about this if you are not automating your whole messaging game with some third-party apps.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><b>Uploading inappropriate images<\/b><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bumble is pretty strict when it comes to profile pictures. Even shirtless pictures are considered to be violations of their guidelines if the pictures weren\u2019t taken outdoor. Here you can see <a href=\"https:\/\/thebeehive.bumble.com\/bumbleblog\/2016\/10\/7\/no-more-mirror-selfies-youre-welcome-folks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a full blog post with examples<\/a> from Bumble\u00a0 where they show you what is allowed and what is not allowed, but here is the gist of it:<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><b>Not allowed pictures on Bumble:<\/b><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\r\n<ul>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Children on their own, even if it\u2019s your kid<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bikinis and underwear pictures indoor (like shirtless mirror selfies)<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your face must be visible<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pornographic and type of NSFW photos<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No guns or hunting photos<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-854\" src=\"https:\/\/boostmatches.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Shirtless-Selfie-on-Bumble-not-allowed.png\" alt=\"Shirtless Selfie on Bumble not allowed\" width=\"256\" height=\"272\" srcset=\"https:\/\/boostmatches.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Shirtless-Selfie-on-Bumble-not-allowed.png 301w, https:\/\/boostmatches.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Shirtless-Selfie-on-Bumble-not-allowed-282x300.png 282w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 256px) 100vw, 256px\" \/><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><b>Promoting or soliciting stuff<\/b><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike <a href=\"https:\/\/boostmatches.com\/tinder-vs-bumble\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tinder, Bumble<\/a> doesn\u2019t serve ads in the app and you can\u2019t use your profile to promote or solicit something (includes prostitution). You also can\u2019t use Bumble to ask for money in return for something.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><b>Behavior that others might find offensive<\/b><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This includes anything that might be considered hate speech, rude or abusive behavior, bullying, and misogyny. Bumble is sometimes also called the feminist Tinder, so they take this pretty seriously to make Bumble a safe platform especially for women.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We wouldn\u2019t be surprised that the violation of this guideline is the most frequent reason for blocking accounts. The problem with this is that what is rude or abusive is pretty subjective. You might try to be funny and some other users might find that extremely offensive, so it is always better to be on the safe side.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_get_unbanned_from_Bumble\"><\/span><b>How to get unbanned from Bumble?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Basically, you have two options when Bumble has banned or blocked your account. We have a full article where we share all the details you have to know but here is the gist of it.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are 100% sure that you haven\u2019t violated their Terms of Service or their Community Guidelines (see the details above), then you can try to<a href=\"https:\/\/boostmatches.com\/bumble-contact\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> contact them a<\/a>nd request a review. This really only works if your ban was really just an accident and you didn\u2019t do anything wrong, nobody has ever reported you.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The other option you have to get back your blocked account is more complicated but works also when your ban from the platform was well-founded so you have no other option. It is to <a href=\"https:\/\/boostmatches.com\/reset-bumble\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reset your Bumble account<\/a> which means that you first <a href=\"https:\/\/boostmatches.com\/delete-bumble\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">delete<\/a> then restart a completely new one. You can check our article about <a href=\"https:\/\/boostmatches.com\/reset-bumble\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bumble reset<\/a>, or check out this quick video that shows the gist of how to reset your account:<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VU_pUSOlnZg\" width=\"560\" height=\"314\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this case, as your account was blocked and Bumble wouldn\u2019t allow you back to their platform, you have to make sure that you don&#8217;t use any login data when you do a new sign up, so they cannot connect your old banned account with the new one.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bumble_Shadowban\"><\/span><b>Bumble Shadowban<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is speculation among Bumble users that sometimes Bumble does not explicitly ban your account they just shadow ban you and limit the number of profile impressions your profiles get to a minimal level.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although Bumble <a href=\"https:\/\/bumble.com\/en\/help\/am-i-penalized-for-deleting-profile\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">has denied that they would shadow ban your account<\/a> if you reset your Bumble account, it is still possible that in other cases they would apply this kind of penalty. If you want to learn more about Bumble shadowban and find out what are the top signs your Bumble profile might have been shadow blocked, you can learn more about shadowbans in this article.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you think that you have been shadowbanned by Bumble, the tactics we outlined above (resetting Bumble) will probably solve your issue.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cancel_your_Bumble_Boost_subscription\"><\/span><b>Cancel your Bumble Boost subscription<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to make sure that Bumble doesn\u2019t charge you after you have been banned from their platform and you don\u2019t have to contact them later for a refund, it is recommended to <a href=\"https:\/\/boostmatches.com\/how-to-cancel-bumble-boost\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cancel your Bumble Boost subscription<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even if they explicitly blocked you from Bumble, they might still charge you with the monthly subscription fee. So to be on the safe side, you should cancel your Bumble Boost subscription.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The process of canceling your subscription is a little bit different depending on the operating system of your phone, so you\u2019d better read <a href=\"https:\/\/boostmatches.com\/how-to-cancel-bumble-boost\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">our article on how to cancel your Bumble Boost subscription here<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions\"><\/span><b>Frequently Asked Questions<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\">\n<div class=\"rank-math-list \">\n<div id=\"faq-question-1593785384680\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_has_Bumble_blocked_my_account\"><\/span>Why has Bumble blocked my account?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>There are multiple reasons why Bumble might have decided that your account should be blocked.
