How it works?

To use Facebook Dating, it is necessary to create a separate profile. The dating activity will not be shared on Facebook profile, news feed or other people.

To create a profile, you must have updated the application with the latest version of the Facebook application. Then the user must go to the "More" menu and search for the heart-shaped symbol of Meetings, in "Explore".

You can create a meeting profile, with photos and a description of preferences, for example.

The system suggests people based on the preferences and interests of each user. To start a conversation, click on "Interested" and you can send a single message to start a conversation.

If the person answers, it is possible to continue the conversation by SMS. This is not a chat messenger, it is a messenger service within the tool.

If the user is not interested in seeing a certain person as suggested, he / she can click on "Pbad" and the person's profile will no longer appear.

You can select the option to see other Dating users (and also enabled this option), based on the preferences set in Events and Groups.
