How to Find Facebook Dating Within the Facebook App – If you’re curious about trying out Facebook Dating but aren’t sure where to look, you’re not alone. Since the feature is tucked away inside the main Facebook app rather than being a separate download, it can feel a bit hidden. The good news is, once you know where to look, it only takes a few taps to get started.

Step 1: Make Sure Your App Is Updated

Before anything else, check that you’re using the latest version of the Facebook app. Dating features may not show up in outdated versions.

• Go to the App Store (iPhone) or Google Play Store (Android).

• Search “Facebook” and tap Update if it’s available.

Step 2: Open the Facebook App

Launch the Facebook app on your mobile device (not the desktop site—Facebook Dating only works on mobile).

Step 3: Tap the Menu Icon

• Look for the three horizontal lines (☰).

• On iPhone, this is usually in the bottom right corner.

• On Android, it’s typically in the top right corner.

Step 4: Scroll Down to “Dating”

• In the menu, scroll until you see “Dating” (the icon looks like a heart ♥).

• Tap it to enter the Facebook Dating section.

Step 5: Set Up Your Dating Profile

If it’s your first time:

• Facebook will guide you through creating a separate Dating profile.

• You’ll add photos, write a short bio, and choose preferences (like location, interests, and who you want to meet).

Step 6: Start Exploring Matches

Once your profile is ready, you can:

• View suggested matches.

• Like or comment on profiles.

• Use features like Secret Crush (where you can pick friends or Instagram followers you’re interested in).

Quick Tips

• If you don’t see the Dating option at all, it may not be available in your country yet, or your account may not meet the eligibility requirements (must be 18+ and in good standing).

• Make sure Location Services are enabled for the app, since Dating uses your location to suggest nearby matches.
