Facebook wants to make your dating life better! If you\u2019re single like me, your first thought is probably “yay, Tinder sucks” followed immediately by WTF does that actually mean. Let\u2019s break it down.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg took the stage at F8, a Facebook developers conference, to announce that there will now be a dating layer added to the mobile app. The social network creator shared that the 2.2 billion monthly active Facebook users will have the option to opt-in for the feature. But this isn\u2019t just another Tinder, “this is going to be for building real, long-term relationships-not just for hookups,” says Zuckerberg.<\/p>\n

But wait, does this mean my mom in Cali and aunts in Texas will see who I\u2019m into? Not at all, according to the announcement. \u201cWe have designed this with privacy and safety in mind from the beginning. Your friends aren\u2019t going to see your profile, and you\u2019re only going to be suggested to people who are not your friends.\u201d<\/p>\n

The app itself was presented by Chris Cox, Facebook product chief, and looks a lot like the Tinder and Bumble apps you\u2019re already swiping on. The dating app will integrate events and groups you are a part of to help create a more community-based dating experience. Cox also shared an \u201cunlocking\u201d feature that will let people within groups or events see your page, basically an I\u2019m-single-and-ready-to-mingle option to up your odds of finding love.<\/p>\n
