Facebook recently released a new dating app. Nathan Sharpe is the product manager of the dating feature. He stated that there are 200 million people on Facebook who are single. He said that this app is a great way for people to meet new people.
However, some people believe that there are certain features of the app that will make it easier for people to cheat. For example, the app duplicates your Facebook profile, but it removes your relationship status. It also does not match you with any friends that you have on your profile. Facebook stated that this settings are designed to protect the privacy settings of the users.
Users have the option of opting in or out on their Facebook mobile app. If you opt in, then Facebook will remove your relationship status. It will also add a space for you to introduce yourself.
You will be able to choose how you can present yourself to potential matches. You can share details about yourself such as your religion, hometown, current city and occupation. People will be able to like or pass different profiles. They will also be able to message the people that they like.
It is easy to deceive someone using this app. For example, even if you are in a relationship or married on Facebook, it will not show up on the dating profile. Paul Keeble is the chief strategy officer for Ashley Madison. He stated that people lie about their relationship status all of the time. He also said that Ashley Madison is not the only website that is encouraging affairs.
Your friends will not know that you are using the Facebook dating app until you tell them. You can choose whether you want to be matched with people who are currently on your Facebook page.
