Can I please help me. I can’t figure out why the fb dating app won’t work for me I’m over 18 and I have a new phone when I try to sign up it says Facebook dating unavailable. Facebook dating is being rolled out for iOS and Android users in selected markets… What does that mean???
It means FB dating is not available in your region.
Lies, i live in the United States and I had Facebook dating. I hate that people always say the same basic response. It’s a glitch that Facebook isn’t working on. It’s been months since I can’t open Facebook dating.
Hey Eddie, of course, it is available in your region and if you are not under 18 too then it’s probably a glitch that only Facebook can remove if you have cleared your cache too.
I have the same problem. I’ve do e all suggested thi gs. What can I do about this?
I deleted my fb dating profile a few weeks ago and since then it has disappeared and have yet to come back. I thought I was going to start seeing someone but it never happened. Please bring back the app for me in my shortcuts or tell me how to access it. Thanks
No Profile photos on my Facebook Dating Profile or bio any more just my preferences only visitable why has my Identity Profile disappeared when I logged on ? Just says sorry & come back later message
Can you please help me. I can’t figure out why the fb dating app won’t work for me I’m over 18 and I already update my latest version facebook, but still Facebook dating is not showing… but my friends FB still showing the dating apps but not my account… what that means..? thank you in advance…
It’s probably because you are probably living in a country where FB Dating hasn’t rolled out.
I can’t access Facebook dating anymore

I have never had FB dating. I’m in the US, I cleared my cache, I reinstalled, updated I can’t figure it out
I had facebook dating
It asked me to verify myself when i tried to it wouldnt let me
So i deleted it to try and start it fresh. And now its disappeared completely.
I have iphone and dont see the option to clear cache.
Hey Jen,
You need to be above 18 and in the selected countries given in the blog.
Also once you delete, the facebook dating profile would take 7 days to be live again.
Mine was similar to Jen. It asked me to verify my dating profile, then it sat in limbo for a month saying it will review my profile soon. So I deleted it and now it’s been almost 2 weeks and it’s still missing. Before when I’ve deleted the profile, it would still show the icon, but wouldn’t let me create a new profile for 7 days. I meet all requirements to have the app.
That’s really strange and seems to be an error on Facebook’s side
I have an android, am over 18, live where Facebook dating is available and was able to create a profile 3 years ago. Now when I try, it tells me facebook dating is unavailable. I meet all the requirements. How do I fix this?
Hi Andora, Can you try updating your application and check if you are using the latest version and if it still doesn’t work, try logging into another Phone with the same ID
My facebook is in good standing, has been for long over 30 days. I live in America. I’ve used it several times before. No disabled notifications. Newest facebook upgrade. Locations is turned on. Cache cleared. No internet issues. Tried to contact facebook numerous times with no help
Looks like you have tried everything, and it’s probably a glitch that only Facebook can remove if they ever reply
Yes I deleted my Facebook dating profile almost three weeks ago and I’m still not able to create another! The icon for dating doesn’t show up on my app or anything and I’ve tried all the troubleshooting suggestions.
Facebook gets glitchy once you delete your profile, their support can help you out!
How do you get support? I deleted it like 7 months ago and can not get it back
Did you find out how to contact support? I need help with this too and can’t find out how to contact them
No the can’t. I’ve tried to get ahold of support a dozen times and crickets.
Hi I can’t get the “Liked you” to allow me access to the ladies who have responded to me. Very frustrating. I’ve downloaded the latest version of FB but it’s made no difference.
Thanks
