Facebook's New Dating Feature is Being Tested Internally
Riley von Niessen — August 6, 2018 — Lifestyle
With so many dating apps connecting to social networking sites to validate users and connect them with like-minded individuals, it only makes sense that the largest social networking site in the world (Facebook) would develop its own dating feature.
In order to keep the experience within the site, Facebook includes the feature on its main page, which can easily be accessed by users who are looking to find a partner. Once a user decides to activate the feature, they can connect with others who've done so as well, making the option exclusive to those who want to be seen.
Although the new dating feature is still being tested internally by Facebook employees, its development could make the online dating process much more streamlined.
