Facebook is enhancing its dating service with new features

 

Since its dating service does not seem to be as popular as other similar applications, Facebook has decided to add some more features to it to make it more useful.

Virtual dating has boomed during the pandemic and the social media giant is trying to benefit from this. One of the most interesting tools added to its service is ‘audio dates’. This gives users the opportunity to start a conversation with somebody that they match with. How does it work? When you try to start a call with someone, he/she will receive an invitation. You will be able to talk to each other if he/she accepts.

Another feature allows you to set up two additional places in Facebook Dating where you want to look for matches. Called, ‘Match Anywhere’, this option will make it easier for you to meet people who may be temporarily working or living in different places or frequently travelling between those.

Moreover, Facebook is introducing ‘Lucky Pick’. This allows daters to take into consideration compatible candidates who may be outside their typical preferences. According to a post uploaded by a communications staffer from the firm, Alexandru Voica, on Twitter, this follows complaints from users that, “the preferences they set aren’t always hard and fast”.
