Hello!
I really appreciate your advice, I had a successful reset 2 weeks ago, so I leave here for others what are the required steps:
I followed these:
- Factory reset ( No new device needed! )
- New SIM card ( and phone number ofc)
- New email
- New Gmail account for play store (Same as my new email address, I didn't do this at the this first time ) / OR new Apple ID
- New IP address with VPN during registration ( it worked!! I didn't have have issue with VPN ), now I also tried my old IP address without VPN for a short time, I wasn't banned so far. ( However, I restarted my router, which generated a new address (but it didn't change my public address ). It doesn't matter what is your public IP address is, because I read that multiple households use the same address, If you are banned from your workplace's Wifi your colleagues won't be banned because they use the same network as you. So I think this IP thing is also over mystified, but you should restart your router before the registration )
- I used all of my old pictures (5 pictures), just removed all metadata, and cropped them. I didn't use cloaking software. ( So good news you can actually use your old photos easily)
- You can use / I used a new virtual debit card from Revolut to avoid ban.
I even verified my profile so the facial recognition algorithm doesn't run in the background I think. It is pretty safe to reuse your old photos and verify your profile with them!
I think my second ban ( the shadow ban) was because of my old google account when I tried to register again. I did everything except the new google account. But I only used the google account for downloading Tinder from the Google Playstore
