This guide walks you through each step, whether you're new to Facebook or just haven’t tried the Dating feature before.
Step 1: Use the Official Facebook App
You need the main Facebook mobile app to access Facebook Dating. The feature won’t work on the desktop version or Facebook Lite.
To get started:
Open the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
Search for “Facebook.”
Tap Install if you don’t have it already.
Tap Update if your app isn’t up to date.
Once installed or updated, open the app and log in with your regular Facebook account. If you don’t have one, you’ll need to create a new Facebook account first.
Step 2: Make Sure You Meet the Requirements
Facebook Dating is available to users who meet certain conditions.
To access Facebook Dating, you must:
Be 18 years or older
Have the latest version of the app
Be in a country where Dating is supported
Use a valid Facebook account that follows Facebook’s guidelines
If your Facebook profile is too new or incomplete, the Dating feature might not appear right away.
Step 3: Turn on Location Services
Facebook Dating relies on your location to show matches nearby. If location access is off, the feature may not work properly.
To allow location access:
Go to your phone’s Settings
Tap Apps > Facebook > Permissions
Enable Location
Then return to the Facebook app and refresh it.
Step 4: Find the Dating Feature in the App
Once you’re logged in and your settings are correct, it’s time to find Facebook Dating.
Follow these steps:
Open the Facebook app
Tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines, usually at the bottom or top right)
Scroll down and tap “Dating” with a pink heart logo
If you don’t see it, use the search bar and type “Facebook Dating”
If the feature is available in your region and your profile meets the requirements, it should appear.
Step 5: Set Up Your Dating Profile
Facebook Dating is separate from your main profile. Your friends won’t be notified when you join, and they won’t see your dating activity.
To set up your profile:
Tap Get Started
Select your gender and who you’re interested in
Add photos from your phone or Facebook albums
Write a short bio
Answer a few fun profile prompts
Set your distance, age range, and match preferences
Make sure your photos are recent and clear. A well-written profile increases your chances of meeting someone who shares your interests.
Step 6: Start Matching and Messaging
After completing your profile, Facebook will show you potential matches. You can:
Tap the heart icon to like someone
Tap the X icon to pass
Tap message if it’s a mutual match
Chats stay within the Dating section. You don’t need Messenger to communicate.
Final Thoughts
Getting on Facebook Dating doesn’t take long. You only need the Facebook app, a complete profile, and a few minutes to set it all up.
The key to success on Facebook Dating is honesty, patience, and consistency. Be yourself, use clear photos, and take time to get to know your matches. Real love begins with real conversations—and Facebook Dating gives you the space to start them.
