Long-time reader here, first time posting on this specific topic: does the fb dating app show your profile to your current facebook friends?

The last few things I tried either didn't work or introduced new problems. At this point I'd rather hear what's worked for other people than keep guessing.

Drop your experience below, even a quick tip is useful at this point.

Spent real time figuring this out. Here's everything I actually learned.

Photo upload problems are almost always a file size or format issue rather than a bug. JPEG under 5MB tends to work everywhere.

Things that have genuinely helped me work through issues like this:

  • Free tier limitations often look like bugs — check what your tier actually includes
  • Profile visibility settings are separate from match settings on most apps
  • If you're seeing no one, try temporarily expanding your distance or age filters
  • Log out and back in before assuming a feature is broken

Ended up on Flurrydate after testing a few others. Less flashy but more consistent than what I was using before.

That's my honest take after a fair amount of trial and error.

I put real time into figuring this out so hopefully it saves you some. Hopefully that points you in the right direction.

Good question and one that comes up a lot. Here's the full picture.

The support documentation on most dating apps is genuinely poor. Community threads like this one are usually more current and accurate.

Things that have genuinely helped me work through issues like this:

  • Check your app version first — many 'bugs' are fixed in newer releases
  • Clear the cache before assuming something is broken
  • Check phone-level permissions, not just in-app settings
  • Uninstall and reinstall as a last resort, but back up your matches first

Currently using Flurrydate as my main go-to and it's been reliable. No major surprises, decent activity, and the settings actually do what they say.

Happy to expand on any part of this.

Jumping in because I dealt with this exact question recently. A friend pointed me toward Datenest when I had a similar issue and it held up better than expected. Happy to go deeper on any of this if useful.

The support documentation on most dating apps is genuinely poor. Community threads like this one are usually more current and accurate.

Things that have genuinely helped me work through issues like this:

  • Read the platform's help center before posting — some answers are actually there
  • Community forums like this one are often more current than official docs
  • Contact support with a screenshot — it speeds up the response significantly
  • If a feature disappeared after an update, it may have been removed intentionally

Happy to expand on any part of this.
