Facebook Dating

Facebook has long been studying how to create an alternative to Tinder. As happened in its day with Snapchat, we already know that in the Facebook offices it doesn't hurt when it comes to copying or competing with an application, although in the case of dethroning Tinder, the task will not be easy at all. Facebook Dating was born so that those who want to find love can do it without leaving Facebook, with real relationships, real people and with many things in common. Its launch has not only put Tinder in jeopardy, but it has sent Match's shares crashing in an unexpected way.

Facebook Dating intends that any user, without the need to create an extra profile or have a dating app installed, can flirt through from the Facebook application itself and establish a connection with more real and less fake profiles. The app has already been released in the US and a few other countries, though it won't hit Europe until early 2020.

Facebook Dating is integrated into Facebook, and that's great

Facebook Dating is an app that is 100% integrated with Facebook and even allows you to share Instagram posts on your dating profile, with the ability to add Instagram followers to lists of people you like (secretly). Soon it will also be possible to share Instagram and Facebook Stories in the dating app. Facebook ensures that Dating is a safe dating app, where privacy is fully guaranteed.The Facebook Dating data will not be mixed with our normal Facebook profile and the user will have the ability to block anyone or even prohibit people from sending them photos, videos, payments, etc.

How is Facebook Dating?

If you want to create a dating profile (it will be separated from the main one) you only need to have the latest version of Facebook and be over 18 years old . Facebook Dating is not a Tinder to use, in the app you will have the possibility to tell someone you like (expressly) or comment directly on their profile, without any limit. Another thing Facebook knows is that it won't automatically match you with friends (unless you add them to your Secret Crush list).

Facebook has clarified that Facebook Dating is an app that is still in development, despite having been revealed in many parts of the planet. These are its main features:

• The Stories serve to get to know people better: most apps make you decide with a couple of photos. With Facebook Dating you will be able to follow a profile, see their Stories and know if that person is really for you or not. It's a much more authentic format.
• You will secretly mark the people you like: Facebook Dating, as we mentioned, does not match you with your friends unless you expressly tell the app that you are interested in that person. The Secret Crush List lets you do just that.
• Instagram posts can be shared to Dating.
• Events and groups can show you people with your same interests: You can choose to see people who match certain preferences, and when If you do, you will also be visible to them.
• Sharing data through the app will be safe, you will have control of who sees what.
• Creating a dating profile will be easy: with Dating you won't need an extra app.

Facebook Dating can currently be used in 19 countries among which are: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia , Ecuador, Guyana, Laos, Malaysia, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, the Philippines, Singapore, Suriname, Thailand, Uruguay and Vietnam. The only problem with the app is that it will not reach Europe until 2020, so in Spain we will still have to wait a bit for what they tell us in the Facebook press room.
