Starting today, users will have the opportunity to feature their permanent Instagram posts in their Dating profiles. The social network wants to create a more dynamic and authentic experience. On most dating apps, “people are forced to make a decision off this one profile that never changes and is extremely curated,” says Charmaine Hung, a Dating product manager at Facebook. Which is not surprising since the company has been bringing its platforms closer together in various ways all year. And, of course, it’s integrating Instagram into Dating. One thing it won't show you are your existing Facebook friends-that option is turned off by default.įacebook is also using Dating’s US debut to launch several new privacy and security features within the service.
You can also choose to match with people who attend the same Facebook events or are part of the same Facebook groups. The service will present you with potential matches based on your location, indicated preferences, and other factors. The only information carried over is your name and age. Plenty of them will be familiar to anyone with experience on other dating apps, but a few options take unique advantage of Facebook's biggest asset-its extensive cache of data on you and all your friends.įacebook Dating lives within the existing Facebook app, but to use it you need to set up a separate profile. Facebook Dating, which began rolling out in other countries last year and launches in the US today, gives users ages 18 and up access to a suite of features designed to help them find a meaningful relationship. Now Facebook users in the United States can officially use the social network as a dating service-complete with specialized profiles, a matchmaking algorithm, and more. Facebook has long been the place where everyone from college students to divorcées scope out their romantic interests.
