Facebook Dating launched in 2019 as a feature within the main Facebook app (not a standalone app). It creates a separate dating profile distinct from your main Facebook profile — your dating activity is not visible to your Facebook friends. The service uses your Facebook data (interests, events attended, groups joined) to suggest compatible matches, adding a layer of social context that pure dating apps lack. Facebook Dating is available in 20+ countries on iOS and Android. ## Key Features Feature Detail Owner Meta (Facebook) Cost Completely free — no premium tier Matching Interest/event/group-based suggestions + standard browsing Unique Features Secret Crush (flag friends), Events/Groups integration Privacy Separate dating profile; not visible to Facebook friends Platforms iOS, Android (within Facebook app) ### What We Like ### What Could Be Better ### Choose Facebook Dating if… ### Consider alternatives if… ### Visit Facebook Dating See plans, features and sign up on the official site.
