The social media platform, Facebook, has always been known for getting friends together with friends and bringing different people from different backgrounds together. Before now, people have tried to turn Facebook into a dating app by sending unnecessary photos through Messenger or hitting on folks in photo comments and generally stalking people’s pages to get some information about them, Because of these circumstances, the mega social media platform decided to make provision for people who would want to have some sort of relationship, thereby introducing Facebook dating.
Facebook dating isn’t a standalone app, but it’s a part of the existing Facebook app that you have in your Android / iOS mobile phone, though you have to opt-in to start using the Facebook Dating feature. Before using the feature, you need to set up a separate profile for dating, the only information that is carried over is your name and age. This feature will present you with some potential matches based on your location, indicated preferences, etc. Some of these preferences include what genders you’re interested in whether it’s men, women, or everyone, be that as it may, you will have to input more detailed preferences like; age range, children or no children, distance, education level, height, language spoken, and religion.
