Online dating sites have become very popular. They have helped to connect millions of people around the world with their perfect match. It only makes sense that Facebook, the world’s most popular social networking platform, would want to get in on the very lucrative online dating industry. There have been many rumors over the past several months regarding what exactly the Facebook dating app is going to include. However, very few details have been released as of yet. The good news is that Facebook finally shed some light on the app during their developer conference that is held once every year.
One of the ways that the new Facebook dating app will match people is through the use of secret crushes. A person will be able to list several people on their secret crush list and they will be compared to other users. If people have each other listed on their secret crushes, they will be matched. This has the potential to be a very popular feature. However, it is still in the testing phase at this point. During an announcement on stage, Facebook executives said that they want to make sure that the dating app is working perfectly before they release it for the public to use. That is a wise decision on their part.
The dating app for Facebook is already available in a variety of other countries, reports Vox. However, the United States version will not be available until the end of the year. No exact date was revealed at the developer conference. There are very high expectations for the app. Needless to say, Facebook certainly has plenty of people who would be potential users for this app. The platform currently has more than 2.3 billion users around the world. That total is growing very steadily every day. Facebook might turn out to be the biggest dating site in the world.
Facebook said that there will be other features added to the dating app before it is officially launched in the United States. They did not give any hints as to what those new features might be. There is a lot of pressure on Facebook to get this right. Launching a dating app that has some bugs and is not user friendly would be a black eye for the company when it is in need of some good publicity. This is why they are taking their time and not rushing the release.
