What Happens When Tandem Bans You?

Tandem ban is Tandem’s way of getting rid of the people who are breaking their rules.  When Tandem bans you, they BAN you. You lose everything that has to do with the platform. 

You won’t be able to sign in or access your account any longer. Usually, Tandem ban is Tandem’s decision to prevent you from using the services again due to your behavior.

So, if you go against the rules of Tandem, you’re gone from the platform.

How to Get Unbanned From Tandem Suspension

If you feel your account was wrongly restricted, all you need to do is contact the Tandem support team and provide them with enough proof of your innocence.

In most cases, the reasons for your account suspension will be stated in the email notification confirming your account ban. When you contact Tandem support, make sure your message is clear and detailed. If need be, provide pictures and any other files necessary to prove your account was wrongly deleted.

If your account was justifiably banned, then you may not have a case. Tandem will not enable an account that deliberately violated its terms and conditions of service.

Does Tandem Ban Device?

Tandem does ban your email/phone number and device. Even if that device is new, Tandem can still ban it along with your other information.

Tandem takes cognizance of your device ID, they ban your device too e.g. phone. Besides getting a new email address, you need to either factory reset your device, get a new unique device ID, or get an entirely new phone/device.

Your device ID represents your device. It’s made of unique numbers and letters that identify your device as unique.

Since Tandem bans you for a solid reason, it’s going to be difficult to bypass Tandem’s ban of your email/phone number or device. Your ID is banned when your account is banned and there’s nothing you can do to stop it.

How to Unban Device from Tandem

1. If you don’t have the technical skills, and can’t afford to change your device, then try using Tandem on the web, with a new phone number.

2. Tandem bans your account when you open it with a new email or number when it has been used before. Also, Tandem can recognize your device, especially if something wrong was done on Tandem through that device. Using a used device could mean:

• You’re using a friend’s or a family member’s email, device, or number.
• You’ve got a disposable email or phone number.
• Your phone number was previously used by someone else to open your Tandem account.

3. You need a new Device ID as giving the same information that you gave in your previous will get you banned again.

4. Use Tandem responsibly, and avoid bot-like behavior.

How Long Does It Take Tandem to Uban You

Tandem can take minutes to days to review your appeal, depending on your history with the app/website.

If you’ve just registered on Tandem, then the review will only take a couple of minutes to put your profile together and confirm your profile isn’t fake.

When you got banned on Tandem and now you’re trying to get back in, then Tandem might take a few days as well to review your new account.

How to Make a New Tandem Account Without Getting Blocked

Many people enjoy the services of Tandem and can’t possibly think of going somewhere else than Tandem.

When such a person gets banned and tries to reactivate that banned account but to no avail, then the next option will be to open a new account.

However, you can’t just go ahead and reopen a new Tandem account. There are steps to take in order to avoid repeated bans.

Method #1. Uninstall Tandem

Whatever device you’ve been using Tandem on, delete and uninstall the app from it. That is to delete the cache from your device.

You can’t recover your restricted account and everything will be gone if Tandem still recognizes your invalid activities. It’s one of the reasons why you want to uninstall it and start over.

Method #2. Contact Tandem Support

You can contact support telling them you want to open another account; promising to be a good member this time.

It may be very difficult to get a good response from support. They most times feel reluctant to help people reopen banned accounts or give them permission to open a new account. That’s why you may have to act on your own by contacting them.

Method #3. Change Your Device, Its ID or IP Address

If you used Tandem on your phone, you don’t necessarily have to get a new device. You can use it on your computer. it’s safer to open a new Tandem account using a completely new device since Tandem cookies have a very long expiration date.

Meanwhile, if you don’t have access to another device and want to use the same device with which your previous account was banned, then you have to follow these steps:

1. Delete browser cookies, cache, and Tandem data: Tandem cookies don’t expire quickly, so you have to clear the cookies, browser cache, and other Tandem data stored on your computer.

2. A Factory Reset on your current device (works for Android only).

3. A Device Changer on your current rooted device (works for Android only).

4. iPhone jailbreak (works for iPhone only).

5. Changing advertising ID – An advertising ID is a unique line of numbers that are used by advertisers to identify you as a user.

• iOS: Settings > Privacy > Advertising > Reset advertising identifier.
• Android: Settings > Google > Ads > Reset advertising ID.

6.  Tandem can recognize your IP address too only when signing up – Getting a VPN to avoid a ban is not necessary but it’s good to have. Get a VPN app, enable your new VPN  and check if your IP has been changed.

7. Do not verify your account using the same old email or phone number:

It’d be more helpful for you to use an entirely different device be it another phone, tablet, or laptop, and If you don’t want to use a new device, then you need to change your device ID.  You can get a new phone number to verify your new account if you don’t want to get banned again.

Tandem bans your device as well, that’s why this step is essential for anyone trying to get back to Tandem after being banned. 

Method 4#. Use a New Email Address

You don’t want to connect the same email you connected to your banned account with your new account. Tandem will know that it’s you and ban you again.

This also means that if you try to make a new Tandem account, and got banned before even opening the account, a disposable email address or phone number could be the cause.

You can’t link your new Tandem account to the same email as you did with your banned account either. Open a new email if you’re trying to get back on Tandem through email as well.

The previous user of that email or number could’ve got banned, and now the next user (you) is in pain because of bad luck. That’s because Tandem remembers and recognizes your ID including your device information, especially if you violated their rules.

Using the same email or phone number with which your previous account was verified to verify your new account is like shooting yourself in the legs.

Method #5. Use a New Google Play Account/Apple ID

Since your Google account/Apple ID collects the data, using the same google account/Apple ID to download the app again can give enough clues to Tandem to know who you are.

Tandem doesn’t ban your Google account or Apple ID, however, it bans your device. This means you need a new device if you’re trying to get back after getting banned.

Do not make the same mistakes that got you banned. A new Tandem account is an opportunity to start afresh; but if you go on and repeat the same mistakes that got your previous account banned, then your new account will end up getting banned too.

So, you kind of know what you’ve done wrong, make sure you don’t repeat that after creating your new Tandem account.

Tandem Blocked Account for No Reason

If your Tandem account has been blocked for no reason, you can recover/reactivate it.

If you believe it was blocked by mistake you can use the guidelines on the website at any time to appeal the ban. Send a message to Tandem with your registered email address and they will take review your appeal and unban your account.
