Facebook dating app from today (22 Oct 2020) also available in our country for people with a facebook account. But also at our southern neighbors, the facebook dating app is a fact as of today. And although the app is free to use, the largest social media of the world now wants to compete with the popular American dating app Tinder.

Facebook dating was previously available in 20 countries in America and Southeast Asia. The social-media company is now launching the service in 32 European countries, including the Netherlands.

How does the fb dating app actually work?

Of course, this service is also fully integrated into the Facebook application. This means that any user of facebook can register through his or her profile to date. You can easily add your profile and no information is currently shared on your personal Facebook profile.

Facebook Dating has various functions.

Well, there are Facebook and Instagram stories shared by users so they can be seen by potential matches. Also, there are some built-in question games which will have to reveal who you have a crush on out of your Facebook friends. For example, you expose yourself to your deepest secrets through secret infatuation game. Also, as a user of the dating app, you have the ability to instantly start a video conversation with other users. Facebook can also recommend potential matches based on the data collected and the common preferences.

The facebook Dating app is definitely an advantageous choice as it is completely free to use, but it always remains an additional barrier that you have to cross as a user of it. So whether it is also suitable for people who want to get acquainted with online dating and meeting other singles in a quiet and discreet environment. In addition, in the Netherlands there is increasing attention to informal dating sites, for one-time (sexual) contact. This target group will not be accepted by Facebook, and besides, these people often have the need to remain 100% anonymous. Then it certainly doesn't seem wise to me to do this kind of exciting adventure through your facebook dating app, which by the way is linked to your personal user account. And facebook taking full advantage of their hugely favourable positions where you as a user of the app have to share a lot of your personal life with the social media network.

Of course our dating experts have already analysed the new dating app extensively.

"Facebook has already collected a lot of data"

It was therefore not irrefutable that Facebook would come up with a dating app sooner or later. So the fact that they are now offering Facebook Dating for Europeans is not a coincidence. So is Antwerp-based communications scientist Lara Hallam, who was previously awarded a PhD for her studies on online dating. "It was written in the stars that sooner or later Facebook would come up with a dating platform.

Online dating has been wildly popular in the Netherlands for years, not to mention more than half of all new relationships come about through an online dating site.

And especially now with the measures taken to reduce social contact to a minimum, with the closure of bars, pubs and other places of entertainment due to the ongoing corona crisis. As an alternative, more and more people are now choosing to start their dating adventure online. Simply because offline dating is becoming increasingly difficult or already impossible.

Send text message only way to communicate via facebook dating

Facebook Dating is indeed linked to your personal facebook account but is nevertheless a separate app within the Facebook app itself, where you as a facebook user still have to log in separately. The dating service is therefore, in its own words, separate from Facebook

How does it work?

Every Facebook user indicates their interests and follows certain pages or artists. Based on this, Facebook Dating looks for people with similar interests. Facebook Dating also looks for possible matches outside your friends list.

"And to prevent users from sending each other nude photos, they can now only connect through text messages. On top of that, you also can't send links to anyone else via chat/ (so hackers don't put a virus on your computer, ed.)," said Facebook's own product manager "Keith Orset", who disclosed this to several news authorities.

And if you're secretly in love with someone (secret love, ed.), you can tell them anonymously. "It's about bringing people closer together," says Orset.
