The feature lets users answer multiple-choice questions about hobbies, values, and preferences. Examples include topics like travel habits, pet preferences, or weekend activities. Answers appear on dating profiles. Users can like or comment on responses to start conversations. Matches increase when two people select the same answers.
A Facebook spokesperson said the goal is to create meaningful connections. “People often bond over common interests. This makes it easier to break the ice,” they stated. The feature is optional. Users can skip questions or update answers anytime.
The addition follows feedback from Dating users. Many requested more ways to showcase personalities beyond photos and basic bios. Recent tests in Canada and Brazil saw higher engagement rates. Over 60% of test participants reported more frequent conversations after using the tool.
Facebook Dating remains free. It operates within the main Facebook app but requires a separate profile. Privacy settings keep dating activity hidden from friends. The service launched in 2019. It now operates in 20 countries.
The “Interest Questions and Answers” feature will be available on iOS and Android. Users can access it via the Dating section of the Facebook app. The company plans to add more question categories based on user suggestions.
Meta continues expanding Facebook’s dating features amid competition from apps like Tinder and Bumble. Analysts note the move aligns with broader efforts to keep users engaged within Meta’s ecosystem. Recent updates include video prompts and group-based matching.
