Daters can share their Facebook and Instagram stories to their profiles to give potential matches a better idea of who they are and how they live their lives, a spokesperson said.

Once a couple has been paired, as with traditional dating apps, they can start an instant messenger chat.
But as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, Facebook has also included a video chat feature, giving people the option of a “virtual date” if restrictions mean it is difficult for them to meet in person.
