Facebook dating app to allow users to choose from 5 different genders

Facebook is reportedly aiming to cash in on the £11billion lonely hearts industry with a dating app to rival the likes of Tinder. The social media giant is internally testing the service with Facebook employees, according to a Twitter user who appeared to leak screenshots of the app on Twitter. The screenshots show that'Facebook Dating' would offer users a choice of five genders: woman, trans woman, man, trans man and non-binary people. The app also appears to allow users to prevent their current Facebook friends from seeing their profile or only match with people who they have mutual friends with. Dating apps like Bumble already ask users to sign in using their Facebook accounts in a bid to spot mutual friends – and avoid making embarrassing connections with family members or close friends.
