Key notes
Many users reported that Facebook Dating is not showing up to them at all. This can be a problem since you won’t be able to access the feature at all.
Luckily, there are a few solutions you can use to fix this problem, so keep on reading to learn more.
Why is Facebook Dating not available to me?
If Facebook Dating is not available, it’s because you’re in a region that doesn’t have it available, or the Facebook app doesn’t have access to your location.
Then, there’s the corrupt app cache or running an outdated version of the app can also cause this problem.
How do I fix Facebook Dating if it’s not showing up?
Before we start ensure that your account has been active for at least 30 days. Try restarting or updating your Facebook app. Also, check if the Facebook servers are properly running.
Changing your relationship status to single and setting your age to at least 18 should enable this feature. Using Facebook Lite can also help sometimes.
1. Enable the location services
You will have to grant Facebook location permission when Dating is not showing. Also, if Facebook doesn’t appear underLocation Services,go toFacebook Status> tap onCheck in> choose any option (Allow once,Allows while using the app, orDon’t allow) in the prompt > the app will now be listed in settings.
2. Pin Dating to the navigation bar
3. Clear the app cache
For apps on iPhone, you can’t separately delete the data. It rather uninstalls the app. Try that and reinstallFacebook from the App Store. Or you could easily clear the app cache on Android since the functionality is available.
Besides, if there are already other issues with the app, fix them first, includingSomething went wrong on Facebookand theApp not active Facebook error. These may indicate problems with the account which conflict with the dating feature.
This isn’t the only issue, you can encounter, and many reported that theMessage button is missing on Facebookas well as theAdd friend button. However, we tackled those issues in separate guides.
