You just got banned on Pure. Your heart is racing, you want to do something immediately. Stop. The first 30 minutes after a Pure ban are critical — wrong actions can permanently close the path to recovery. Based on our experience, many users make their case harder by acting impulsively right after the ban.
What NOT to Do Right After a Ban
- do not create a new account — Pure's device fingerprint (SSAID/IDFA) will link it to the banned device and ban it within minutes
- do not factory reset your phone — hardware identifiers survive reset (why factory reset does not work)
- do not delete the app — first save all ban information
- do not send an angry email to support — emotional messages get ignored; templates come back regardless
- do not use VPN — this raises additional red flags in the behavioral biometrics profile
What You SHOULD Do
- screenshot the ban message and note the exact time
- write down the email address linked to your account
- recall what you did immediately before the ban — uploaded photos, messaged someone, used a new Wi-Fi
- contact professionals for help — the earlier the better (fresh bans tend to resolve faster)
Time is your most valuable asset after a ban. The system has not yet fully anchored the block at the hardware level in the first 24 hours — this is the window where recovery is easiest.
