How to Reset the Hinge Algorithm
Thankfully, Hinge offers an option to reset your Discover feed while keeping your profile and matches. However, this option is not prominently displayed; it is buried within multiple menus. We will guide you to it.
To reset the Hinge algorithm without deleting your account, follow these steps:
- Go to your profile and tap the cog icon to open settings.
- Scroll down and select "Delete or pause account."
- Choose "I’m not happy with my Hinge experience" as the reason for leaving.
- Hinge will then offer you the option for a fresh start; tap "Try it."
This will bring back all the profiles you have X-ed or removed on Hinge, including people you have matched with and then unmatched. However, people you have blocked will not appear in your feed again.
How Often Can You Reset Hinge?
The reset option is Hinge's last-ditch effort to keep the customer. While the frequency with which you can reset Hinge is not explicitly stated by the app, some online sources suggest that you can reset it once a month.
We don't recommend resetting Hinge often, as it can be considered spam or suspicious activity, leading to your account being shadowbanned or permanently banned. Use this option sparingly, ideally once every 3 to 6 months.
