Facebook dating service launches in U.S. (ASL – 9.5.19)

Transcript

Facebook is looking to play matchmaker.

The social media giant launched its dating service simply called Dating.

The launch comes more than a year after Facebook first announced the feature.

It allows anyone with a Facebook account who is eighteen or older to set up a dating profile from within the Facebook mobile app.

While it pulls over a first name and age from a Facebook account, the company says the two profiles are largely separate.

Users can integrate more information, pulling in photos posted on Facebook and Instagram to their dating profile.

Dating was already available elsewhere in the world.

The United States is the twentieth country to have access.
