What is Facebook Dating and How it Works?
The new addition in the Facebook app lets you romantically connect with other users on Facebook. If you’re willing to find love online, the quote by Facebook “Find Love Through What You Like” sits right for you.
The best thing about the feature is that you don’t need to make a different account. Before going ahead, here are some points that you might want to consider.
- Facebook will suggest you matches as per the likes and interests on your profile. You’ll be recommended to other Facebook Dating users as per your current profile information.
- Your Facebook friends can not see your dating profile, and you can not see theirs too.
- Posts and media files you share on your dating profile won’t reflect on your regular profile. Your chats on Facebook dating will differ from the conversations in your Facebook Messenger.
