“This is going to be for building real long-term relationships, not just hookups. It’s going to be in the Facebook app, but it’s totally optional. It’s opt-in. We have designed this with privacy and safety in mind from the beginning. You will only be suggested people who are not your friends,” Zuckerberg said.
Also, Facebook would be getting a new privacy feature that would allow its million users to clear the browsing history. This privacy feature would include the websites that users have visited outside the social media app.
For Instagram, the app would also be getting new features like a group video chats added in its messaging tool.
