Signing up for Facebook Dating is easy! Once it's available in your area, you’ll be able to do it simply by accessing “Dating” from the menu screen: This will bring up your “dating home.” From there, you can set up a separate Facebook dating profile so that it will be hidden from your Facebook friends.

In a further effort to help its users find love, Facebook is testing Spark , a video speed dating app . Here we tell you how it works.

On the Sparklewebsite they describe the concept of this dating app as “video dating with friendly people” . Among its features, it mentions that there will be no public profilesnor will it work with 'swipes' to rate other users , as in Tinder and other similar apps. In addition, it will not allow you to send direct messages before you have an appointment and it will be free .

The app description emphasizes that kindness is key to being part of the community. When registering, users should write what makes them a 'nice' quote to other people. Responses, Sparked explains, will be 'human reviewed' before users can speed-date.

A Facebook spokesperson confirmed Sparked's existence and called it an 'initial experiment ,' according to statements to The Verge . He also noted that at this time it is only in a 'small beta test .'

Although the application will not show public profiles, to register you must have a Facebook account and answer a questionnaire. There you will specify if you want to meet men, women or non-binary people, and if you are open to dating trans people.

Apparently, the app will have two ways to set the meetings . On the one hand, it is speculated that the system will form the pairs based on the affinity shown by their data: characteristics, interests, etc. Then you will bring them together in video speed dates lasting four minutes.

If the brief meeting is a success and “both are having fun” , they can schedule a second video-appointment of 10 minutes. Only after this, and in case both are still interested, the platform will allow them to exchange their contact details and continue to 'fan the spark' through Instagram , iMessage or email .

On the other hand, the portal The Verge had access to a home page that referred to a dating event in Chicago that 47 people had registered to attend.

It is not clear how many 'appointments' a person will have for each event or if they will connect to these through the website. It is also not known whether they will need to download Sparked on their smartphone, as there is no active application in the App Store or Google Play Store.

Sparked would be the second platform to find partners launched by Mark Zuckerberg's social network. In 2019, Facebook Dating began operating in the United States, and arrived in Mexico under the name of Facebook Parejas in September 2020, as a relief to the loneliness caused by the confinements of the COVID-19 pandemic.

This works in much the same way as most dating apps: users can view each other's public profiles, send a 'like' or equivalent positive response, and wait to 'match' to start a conversation.

Sparkle's initiative aligns with the video dating trend that dating apps such as Hinge , Tinder and Bumble have already implemented.

This responds to a fatigue on the part of users, who are already tired and apathetic at the idea of browsing hundreds of profiles only to discard the majority of candidates and then exchange some messages that rarely result in a date. Let's not even talk about finding a viable partner.

In this scenario, the advantage of Sparkle would be, first and foremost, that it saves users the process of choosing potential candidates. It also helps them to skip the exchange of messages to go directly to the meeting 'face or face' by video call, where they can meet without the fear that the photos are false, as well as read the body language of the other, something that can say much more than a thousand direct messages.

Plenty of Fish has just launched a new conversation-orientated feature called Spark.

The new product update lets users quickly start conversations on the platform.

Singles can now quote and comment on any content – whether photos or profile information – simply by picking up and dragging a new conversation icon over any area of someone’s profile.

Speaking about the feature, Plenty of Fish CEO Hesam Hosseini said: “With more conversations than any other dating app, Plenty of Fish is focused on bringing conversation back to singles.

“In the short time we’ve been testing Spark, we’ve seen a 15 percent increase in conversations.

“Given our scale, this can result in an increase of hundreds of thousands of conversations happening every day on the app, leading to more dates and more relationships – and it is just our first step to bring the art of conversation back to dating.”

With the launch of its new feature, the Match Group-owned company released the findings of a study into conversation and relationships, called Conversation Nation.

The report surveyed 2,000 single US participants about their outlook on both online and offline conversations.
