When my number got banned on tinder I used google voice number as my number to verify. Blocking google voice is probably just to crack down on ban evading.

Bots too, I reckon.

I've only ever had a google voice number, and since (at least a few years ago) haven't been able to authenticate or log in to a number of services, including facebook, instagram (owned by facebook, even though I could authenticate with whatsapp :shrug:)

It appears whatsapp has recently blocked it too.

So....why did they ban you on Tinder?

I was trying to use the tinder api to create a bot that would learn which photos you swiped left on vs swiped right and then could swipe for you automatically based on the learned preferences.
