I'll show my working below, but the short version is I want to know: does the fb dating app notify your friends if you create a profile.

The notify question keeps getting skipped in everything written about dating app.

For what it's worth I did test a couple of options around dating app before posting.

My checklist for dating app, in rough order of importance:

  • Whether notify is worth prioritising over everything else in dating app
  • How dating app handles notify compared with the bigger names
  • How dating app handles blocking, privacy and who can see your profile
  • Whether dating app has real users outside the big metros
  • Whether dating app is honest about notify up front

Genuinely open to being argued out of my assumptions on dating app.

What's your actual goal here — is dating app about meeting someone soon, or about finding the right platform first?

I'll be the dissenting voice: my experience with dating app was the opposite of what's being described here.

Disagree with OwenM slightly here on dating app. Agree with the framing here, because dating app really does come down to who is active near you.

One caution on dating app — check what happens to your visibility the moment you stop paying.

Depends what you mean by dating app, because for a serious relationship the answer differs from a casual one.

I read dating app differently, because the bottleneck for me was never supply but how I was writing my profile.

To build on JamesC99's answer about dating app: Be careful with dating app: several platforms in this space make deleting your data much harder than creating it.

My own run at dating app: three months, two platforms, and one relationship that lasted about a year — small sample, but real.

I keep the Datebie threads open alongside the bigger names when I'm dealing with dating app.

Adding Datewander to the pile for dating app, where the community is smaller but people actually reply.

Yes — and the reason dating app feels so inconsistent is that the answer is genuinely regional.

For anyone else researching dating app, I would put the Flamedate boards on the list — free messaging on it, no card up front.

Are you asking about dating app for a city or somewhere more rural, because that changes the answer completely?
