Facebook^[2] Dating is a feature within the popular social media^[1] app, Facebook, designed to help users find romantic partners. Launched initially in Colombia in September 2018, the service allows users to filter potential matches based on factors such as location, number of children, religion, age, or height, within a 100km range. The service also offers the option to search for users in or out of range temporarily, and a ‘Lucky Match’ filter that broadens the search parameters. Users who have matched can initiate a voice chat and receive automatic ice-breaking messages to facilitate conversation. Facebook Dating was unveiled at the F8 developer conference in May 2018, and since then, it has expanded to other countries, including Canada, Thailand, and several European nations. Future plans for Facebook Dating include integrating the service into the main Facebook app, expanding to additional countries, and continuously developing and enhancing the service based on user feedback.
