How to Adjust the Facebook Dating Settings
Changing a few settings will change how the Facebook Dating app works for you.
-
Tap the gear on the screen where Facebook suggests profiles to access the settings.
-
Under the Ideal Match tab, set your preferred criteria for potential matches.
-
Under the General tab, you can control what shows up on your profile. To connect your Instagram account, tap More (three dots) next to Instagram.
How to Delete a Facebook Dating Profile
However, removing your account will also remove you from Facebook Dating. It is possible to delete your Facebook Dating profile without also deleting your ordinary Facebook profile. From matches to chats, everything you have set up on the app will be gone, but Facebook will still keep track of technical details like your IP address and email address history.
To delete your dating profile, follow these steps:
-
Tap the gear on the screen where Facebook suggests profiles to access the settings.
-
Tap the General tab.
-
Tap Delete Profile.
-
Optionally, select a reason for quitting Facebook Dating, or tap Skip. Tap Next to finalize your Facebook Dating profile deletion.
If you delete a Facebook Dating profile, you have to wait seven days before making a new one.
Take a Break from the App
With that expressly designated option, you can take a break from Facebook Dating as opposed to permanently deleting it.
Take a Break enables you to suspend the account, saves all of your data, and makes it simple for you to resume using the app later. Simply turn the switch under General > Account > Take a Break.
Facebook Dating Safety
Always let a friend know where you’re going before meeting up with someone you know online. In order to let them know you are safe, it is also a good idea to text them or use Facebook Messenger. Under the General tab in the Facebook Dating settings, you can prevent a user from contacting you or viewing your profile.
