There is no app that is not is the Facebook’s list to copy. This time the giant is all set to invade Tinder and similar apps space with its new dating feature.

In the F8 Conference held on 1st May, Facebook announced that the feature will be soon rolled out and the user can create a separate dating profile on the platform that will only be visible to non-friends and potential matches will be recommended based on dating preferences, things in common, and mutual friends.
