Facebook Testing New 'Match-up Feature' Like Tinder's Dating App

Facebook
Facebook is currently working on a new feature that looks similar to a dating app known as Tinder. This feature is capable of prompting users if they would like to hook up with certain friends.

If both of you respond positively, you’ll match and Facebook will encourage you to strike up a conversation on Messenger. If any of you selects the No Thanks option, it will not proceed further.

It isn’t clear what the feature is actually called or if it was designed specifically with dating in mind but Facebook has confirmed that it’s being tested on iOS and Android in Toronto and New Zealand.
“People often use Facebook to make plans with their friends," a Facebook spokesperson told Motherboard who spotted the feature.
"So, we're running a very small test in the Facebook app to make that easier. We look forward to hearing people's feedback.”
Motherboard also disclosed that the feature differed from Tinder by trying to match people who are already Facebook friends, but “didn't just show me potential love interests... [but] also displayed some of my friends”.

Facebook has been busy ripping features from other popular apps over recent months, with Snapchat being targeted particularly heavily.

Bear it in mind that the match-up feature may come with some potential harm even though it looks like fun to some. It may also be annoying to some who are not interested in it and you never can tell the next move being taken by someone especially when you decline after being matched up.
