The simplicity of this app’s design-sans the dumb emojis, quirky affirmations and unexpected pop-ups of other dating apps-is on par with Facebook’s aesthetic, but the lack of distraction makes me feel like I’ve hit dating rock bottom. When it finally pops up, I’m prompted to make a profile on a page with Facebook’s weird Pepto-Bismol coloured graphics. Keep in mind that “Dating”-as Facebook so innovatively calls it-isn’t a separate app like Messenger, rather a feature within the “more” tab on Facebook mobile. Here’s what went down on my first week of Facebook Dating.Īfter its official November launch date, I found myself waiting a few days for Dating to actually appear on my Facebook. After about a week of using it, I grew frustrated with the feature’s algorithm, but I did end up meeting a guy who’s not total trash. That’s right, this evil yet un-deletable platform is attempting to stay relevant and have us ignore things like Russian trolls and electoral interference by getting us laid.īut since Canadians are getting early access to this app, I test it out so that other single millennials don’t have to. Even better (or worse)? Canadians would be the first ones in North America to try it. Earlier this year, Facebook made the announcement that nobody wanted: they too were getting in on the dating app business.
