Facebook dating heart on boyfriends Facebook

Hi, my boyfriend send me a screenshot of something funny someone posted on his Facebook, but I noticed the heart for the dating app on the row of tabs at the top. We've been together a few years so it can't be from using it previously as it's a new feature, I just don't know if I should be worried about him having downloaded it or is this normal and does it come up on others?
I just feel silly asking him so i thought I'd ask here if anyone knows how it works?
Thanks

It’s on mine too - I’ve never used it 🤷‍♀️

I've seen it appear on mine as well and I've never used it. In fact I showed my partner it as I found it funny that fb was also turning into a dating site!

Mine went on top of the screen next to notifications once I'd set up my dating profile. The heart disappeared from there when I deleted my profile.

Thanks for the replies, it's never been there on my Facebook so that's why I thought it was strange. It's the last thing I'd expect him to do tbh, especially screenshot it if he was using it for cheating! I'll forget about it then 😊

I just checked my FB and I don't have it.

Which means there is no explanation for the annoying men who send you those stupid "Hi, how r un?" pms when you don't even know them. As if FB is turning into Tinder. Horrible.

Suzi888 · 03/01/2021 19:16

It’s on mine, I’m 42 and have never used it or noticed it before.

Cuddling57 · 03/01/2021 19:19

Feeling a bit insulted that Facebook hasn't added it to my profile now Grin

Not on that page, but along the bottom where you have notifications, homepage and the other icons had the dating heart? I thought it would only come up there if you'd signed up to it Confused

bitchrestingface28 · 03/01/2021 19:53

It just appears when your phone updates according to my googling efforts.... mine just updates automatically when it’s charging. I pressed on mine, because curiosity got the better of me lol!

Plonque · 03/01/2021 20:34

It's on mine, I haven't used it or requested it.

annielouisa · 03/01/2021 20:38

I have just checked it's on my FB and l am 63. Never noticed it before l Def never used it!

CharlotteRose90 · 03/01/2021 21:00

I use it and if it white your fine. If there’s a red number by it it means it’s being used.

Sakurami · 03/01/2021 21:11

Just checked mine too and I have it but never used it or looked for it. It seems to be a placeholder and unless there is something against it then it isn't being used. You can relax now :)

bitchrestingface28 · 03/01/2021 21:20

Great thank you! It was white and no number next to it Smile

annielouisa · 04/01/2021 13:20

Mine is red and I am a widowed 63 year old and have definitely not used it but also no number next to it

isitjustifyable · 04/01/2021 13:22

@annielouisa do you think someone has maybe sent you a message through it?

lubeybooby · 04/01/2021 13:23

it's on mine even though ive never used it and been 'facebook official' as in a relationship since 2013, seems very daft of them

Bluntness100 · 04/01/2021 13:25

PegLegTrev · 04/01/2021 13:28

I’m happily married and it’s on my FB too.

isitjustifyable · 04/01/2021 13:41

@annielouisa sorry I misread, i thought you said it did have a number next to it

louise4745 · 04/01/2021 14:14
