Facebook Dating: Two months after announcing the product at its F8 developer conference, Facebook is reportedly testing the new product internally with its employees. 
Independent app researcher Jane Manchun Wong, who often reveals new Facebook features by editing the source code, found evidence of Facebook’s testing of the new service and posted it on Twitter.
The company, on the other hand, confirmed to The Verge that the product is being tested within the Facebook app, but declined to comment further.
Facebook has reportedly asked its employees to use fake data to create parallel profiles that it plans to delete before the official launch of the service.
It should be noted that Facebook Dating may be tested internally, but that does not necessarily mean it will be released to the public. Products are often announced based on information gathered during testing.
Facebook’s launch of such a service would make the company an immediate force in the online romance market. The stock price of Match Group, which owns popular dating apps OKCupid and Tinder, fell 17 percent on the day Facebook Dating was announced.
As described in images posted by Jane Manchun Wong, Facebook Dating will allow you to create a separate profile. When you use the service to view someone else’s profile, it will allow you to contact them.
The company also describes a feature that will allow you to make your profile visible to people who want to attend the same event as you. The goal, of course, is to create more offline relationships.
