As if we need more of Facebook in our lives, the social media platform has just recently launched their own dating service expecting that the new product will help them regain the value they lost from last year as well as when millions of users left the platform this year.
Called Facebook Dating, it is a platform wherein users can meet with potential partners by employing an algorithm that matches your profile based on your interests, preferences, and other activities done on Facebook. Users would need to create a separate profile which they will use on the platform.
“Facebook Dating isn’t about swiping or having to wait for someone to like you to get a first chance at reaching out. If you are interested in someone, you can comment directly on their profile or tap on the Like button to let them know. If you aren’t interested, you can pass on them.”
