The Facebook CEO then announced that the social media app would add a dating features. He claims that around 200 million Facebook users are single on Facebook.

 

“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.
