1. Profile
If you tap the Profile option, you can change the information you previously put in. You can also write an introduction text about yourself and the expectations you might have about potential matches.
Any written information or pictures you share on FB Dating App won’t appear on your user profile. In the same manner, all the messages that you receive through the Dating service will be kept separately from the messages in Facebook messenger.
2. Liked You
In the Liked You section, you will see all the Facebook Dating users who liked your profile. You can like them back or dismiss them so they won’t be able to message you. Only the users you like back can send you private messages. Similarly, you won’t be able to message anyone until you return a like.
To return a like, simply tap on the heart icon. If you want to dismiss someone, tap the X icon. The Liked You section also works as notifications. Here you will find all the new likes and the old ones that you chose not to react to. Facebook also copied Tinder’s swiping left and right to like or dismiss profiles.
3. Matches
Once you like someone back or other users respond to your likes, you will become a match. Now you can explore the profile of your Match and see what interests you share and if you have any mutual friends. You can find the match profiles in your Matches section. It is from here that you can start a chat with other users. Simply tap on their photo, and a conversation section will appear at the lower part of the page.
These conversations won’t appear in your Facebook Messenger even if you become friends with your match on Facebook. You will also always be able to return to Dating and find this person among your matches and check on their activity.
Secret Crush Feature
Scroll down on the main Dating page, and you will find a section named More to Explore. Here you will find some useful additional Facebook Dating features, among them the Secret Crush. This feature will allow you to find people you are already friends with on your original Facebook and Instagram profiles. You can like them and create your Secret Crush list that can hold up to nine friends.
If you already have a crush on one of your Facebook friends or Instagram followers, you can secretly let them know. Tap their profile, and they will get a notification that someone has a LDS dating online crush on them. However, they won’t be able to see who it is unless they mark that they are interested. Only then will your profile be revealed to them, and you can start a match and a chat.
The More to Explore section also contains the Second Look, Events in Common, and Groups in Common features. Here is what they do:
1. Second Look lets you see all the profiles you previously dismissed. This button gives you a second opportunity to study someone’s profile and decide to like it. This feature doesn’t exist on any other dating app, and it sets Facebook Dating apart.
2. Events in Common will show you profiles of people who signed up or attended the same Facebook events as you. This way, you can find even more people who share your interests.
3. Groups in Common is a feature that will show the people who are members of the Facebook groups you have joined. From here, you can tap their profiles and like them.
