About Facebook Dating
Facebook Dating is a free dating feature inside the Facebook app for adults 18 and over. It uses a separate dating profile, and by default it does not suggest people you’re already friends with.
Meta added AI features in 2025, including an AI dating assistant. Because profiles live inside Facebook and are hidden from your friends, no outside tool can search Facebook Dating.
Can you search for someone on Facebook Dating?
No. Facebook Dating profiles exist only inside the Facebook app, aren’t published on the web, and are hidden from the person’s Facebook friends. No outside tool, including ours, can search them. What you can do is check the other dating apps people commonly use alongside it: our free scan checks Tinder directly and searches dating and social sites across the web for the usernames you know.
How to find someone on Facebook Dating
- Check other dating apps. Someone using Facebook Dating often uses Tinder or Bumble too. Scan the usernames you know above.
- Look for profile changes. A partner turning on Facebook Dating isn’t visible to you, so focus on apps you can check.
- Talk to them. Since Facebook Dating can’t be searched, an honest conversation often gets clearer answers than any tool.
