The Facebook dating service, called Dating, is already available for download by users in the United States, where it has arrived with strong security and privacy measures that unlink the profile from the main social network and that, in addition, allow to share details and location of an appointment with trusted contacts.

Facebook Dating is, therefore, a service that is associated with the main social network, but which at the same time will require the creation of a new profile. However, as reported from Facebook, users who wish to do so will be able to integrate Instagram posts, and also stories, into their profile in their particular "Tinder", in addition to adding Instagram followers and Facebook friends within a secret list of contacts in which you are interested. In this way, the chances of there being relationships between close people who had not dared to take the step of confessing it to each other will increase. This could give rise to many more relationships than you might think at first.

From Facebook they explain that "It makes it easier to find love through what you like", at the same time that it seeks to contribute to "create meaningful relationships" through those people and contacts that you have in common. However, as finding a romantic partner is considered to be something very personal, it has been decided to tighten security and privacy measures. In this way the dating service will be an external experience to Facebook and to start using it you will have to create a specific profile for this application, which you can delete anytime you want.

In this sense, it must be taken into account that the separation also affects the contents directly. The activity of Dating users will not appear in any case on Facebook, so that friends will not know who has a Facebook account, unless they want to tell them, so they enjoy appropriate privacy in this appearance.

In Dating a user will see people who will be suggested by him, the people who have suggested him and the person who has added to the list of secret interests, as reported by Facebook.

In the profiles of your new dating application, both the name and the age of the person will be seen by default, although the user has the possibility to configure whether others can see information related to gender identity or sexual orientation, the people you are interested in or the photos you want to show.

If a user gets to meet a Dating contact, the service allows to share details of the event, the place they are going to go or the location of the same to trusted contacts through the Facebook Messenger service.

This is the way in which Dating works, a service that will not differ much from the way in which the well-known Tinder dating application or similar ones works, so it is based on a simple interface that can be used without problem or difficulty. by any type of user, from new to social networks to the most advanced users in the world of applications.

The idea of ​​Dating is that we can not only base ourselves on a photo to choose a person, as happens for example in Tinder, but we can also know details regarding their interests and activity before taking a definitive step for it. In order to create a dating profile, you must be over 18 years of age.

Through the list called "Secret Crush", you can select Facebook profiles that interest us for an appointment, at the same time that the application will suggest profiles that we can add to it based on preferences, interests and other Facebook issues, at the same time that people with similar interests can be found through Events and Groups.

However, unlike what happens in Tinder and other apps, you should not select the profiles that interest you and trust that you will get a match from someone else. In this case, if someone interests us, we can comment directly on their profile or simply press the "Like" button so that the other person knows that we like them.

Initially, Facebook Dating will allow you to pair up with friends of friends and / or people who are in our circle of friends. In principle, it will not directly suggest friends out I decide to use the Secret Crush option and both people add themselves to their respective lists.

If you use Secret Crush, you can select up to nine Facebook friends or Instagram followers that interest you. In the case of Instagram, it will be necessary to connect the account to Facebook Dating. If the “Crush” is on Facebook Dating, you will receive a notification saying that someone is interested in her/him”, so if it happens that you also decide to add us to your Secret Crush list, the “match” will be achieved.

Additionally, the dating app allows you to integrate Instagram posts directly into your Facebook dating profile, as well as adding Instagram followers to Secret Crush lists and Facebook friends. Also, at the end of the year it is planned that both Facebook and Instagram stories can be added.

The launch of Facebook Dating causes a great revolution in the sector and it will be necessary to see how it affects the rest of similar applications that can be found in the market. Already launched in the United States, it will be necessary to see when it begins to be available in other countries such as Spain, where it could arrive in a matter of just a few months. At the moment we can only wait for the social network to announce its arrival in other territories.
