WASHINGTON – A number of amendments have been presented by Facebook CEOMark Zuckerberg during the F8 presentation, including a simplifiedmessenger, Instagram update, and new dating service.
Facebook is adding a dating layer to its main mobile app, CEO MarkZuckerberg has stated during the company’s F8 developers conference in SanJose, California.
“This is going to be for building real, long-term relationships — not justfor hookups,” Zuckerberg joked onstage, saying that it’s going to bewithin the main Facebook app, but it will be entirely optional and opt-inonly.
“We have designed this with privacy and safety in mind from the beginning.Your friends aren’t going to see your profile, and you’re only going to besuggested to people who are not your friends,” he said.
This is already what other dating apps that rely on Facebook data do, suchas Tinder.
