If you’ve dedicated time to swiping on Hinge, you may have reached a stage where potential matches dwindle or your queue becomes less enticing. Ultimately, the thrill fades, and you might contemplate taking a pause.

Taking a pause can take various forms. For some, it signifies deleting your account and starting fresh. For others, it involves suspending the profile, removing the app, and waiting for the next desire to return. Dating app burnout is a genuine phenomenon.

How to utilize Fresh Start on Hinge

Hinge features an in-app reset option known as Fresh Start. It is designed for users looking to revitalize their experience. If you feel unnoticed or your current options don’t align with your vibe, Fresh Start resets your Discover page to those initial, thrilling days.

To utilize it, navigate to Settings -> Delete Account, and when prompted for a reason, select “I wasn’t satisfied with my Hinge experience.” A pop-up will present you with a fresh start — accept it, and you’re set to go.

A few points to note: it is a complete reset, meaning you’ll retain current matches, but you’ll forfeit any likes that are pending. This encompasses profiles you’ve swiped left on and those caught in Rose Jail. This option is accessible once every two to three weeks and will not function if your profile is paused.
