After the spread of coronavirus in the world, many chat apps thought of launching the dating section, which can be said that Facebook was the most advanced. Although Facebook Dating service is not as popular as Tinder, it has attractive features that can replace Tinder in the long run. But is it possible to use this service to call your date? We will explain.
How should we enable Facebook Dating?
To register on Facebook Dating, just go to the app’s main menu and open the Dating section. In this section, you can create a separate profile for yourself that is also hidden from your friends on Facebook. Note that your profile is only seen by people who have enabled the dating service. However, if you want friends of your friends to be able to request a date, you should go to the privacy settings. Then, enable the “suggest friends of friends to you” option.
After entering your profile and interests, you can also add Instagram to Facebook Dating. To do this, go to the settings section in the general menu, turn on the Instagram option. Now you can simply log in to this service by clicking the “add Instagram” button. All the details you enter in your Facebook Dating profile can be changed, and you can even delete the whole account without any problem for your main Facebook account.
What if a match is found?
You can like any of the people you are introduced to and start a conversation if they approve. Note that you can only send one message to get started. You can also join groups and events that introduce you to potential matches. Once you are sure you want to be friends with someone, you can make an appointment with him and let love find its way…
What is “virtual dates” and what does it do?
With this brief introduction, let’s get to the main question. Is it possible to make a video call through Facebook Dating? Given the limitations of face-to-face communication caused by the coronavirus conditions, dating seems a bit more challenging than ever. Especially the first appointment, which may not work and you cannot take the risk of getting sick, go to a cafe or restaurant.
That’s why Facebook has a plan to create a virtual date. This feature, which seems to have not yet been implemented, can allow you to make video calls with the person you want. But, of course, when the other party requests you to make a video call, you will send a request that you can approve or reject. All users of this service must be at least 18 years old.
In what countries is Facebook Dating currently active?
The service, which has been operating since 2019, is now active in most parts of the Americas and Europe and is scheduled to be launched in Australia soon. So yes, you can use Facebook Dating in the US. You just have to wait for the next update of this app to enable video calling with your date.
