Me We Too mini poll compatibilities, and Facebook optional!” and “Why Friends Match Me dating site/app Does Not Require a Facebook Account anymore”
Privacy is important, but it doesn’t need to be the reason to not use a Facebook dating app. A Facebook dating app is one where you join/login via your Facebook account. That’s the commonality of Facebook dating apps, but after that, Facebook dating apps can differ a lot, in privacy and in features. So, you should review each one to check if privacy should be a reason to not use that specific Facebook dating app, or if you can enjoy the benefits a Facebook dating app provides. Friends Match Me totally free Facebook dating app only requires the basic Facebook permissions and provides you with cool features that only a Facebook dating app can.
One of the first things to check on a Facebook dating app is the Facebook permissions it requires to sign up/login – is the app asking for too much content or content that you are not comfortable providing? Some Facebook dating apps ask for a lot of Facebook permissions to fill in your dating profile to the max, or for permissions that you are not sure how they are applicable. Friends Match Me, on the other hand, asks just for the basics: email, public profile, birthday (to update your dating profile age automatically), friends/likes (to show mutual Facebook friends, similar Facebook likes, and optionally your Facebook likes), and your city (alternatively, you can update your city on the Friends Match Me app):
When signing up, you can click on the “Edit This” link to edit the Facebook permissions you approve; you can update this later from your Facebook account too. Not approving your birthday will show an age of 0 on your Friends Match Me dating profile, so it should be provided via Facebook. You may opt to display your first name and last name initial on your dating profile, in addition to your chosen Username on Friends Match Me. You can choose to display your Facebook profile photo as your initial photo on your Friends Match Me dating profile, or can opt to upload photos to your dating profile and choose one of those as your first photo. Friends Match Me does not ask for access to your other photos or albums.
It is also important to check the android and ios app permissions the dating app requires. You can find the Friends Match Me app on Google Play and the App Store (just search for “friendsmatchme”), besides online at www.friendsmatchme.com, with a list of permissions required. Like for the Facebook permissions, Friends Match Me also just requires the minimum permissions that are necessary for the smartphone app, to provide the online dating experience – no extras:
On Friends Match Me dating site/app, signing up through your Facebook account allows you to find out if you have mutual Facebook friends and similar Facebook likes with other members, as well as share your Facebook likes on your dating profile if you would like. Friends Match Me also has a Facebook Likes search where you can find members who like a particular page, company, group, etc. and have opted to share it on Friends Match Me – you can filter these results by gender, age, and location too. These cool features are available because Friends Match Me is a Facebook dating app. And, since we require all members to sign up through Facebook, there isn’t a reason a dating profile won’t show you have a mutual friend with someone unless you don’t – it won’t be because they have not connected with Facebook.
A truly 100% Facebook dating app is one where the only way to join/login is via your Facebook account, not through an email address sign up process or Google, for example. Friends Match Me dating site/app chooses to only allow sign ups/login via your Facebook account not just because of the cool features, but also because it then requires all Friends Match Me members to have/keep an active Facebook account. So if Facebook bans an account, that account will also not have access to the associated dating profile on Friends Match Me. We believe that sign ups/login through Facebook means a better probability of real quality accounts, and less of a chance of multiple user accounts. We also have online Automatic routine quality checks for fake dating profiles & spam activity.
We hope you try out Friends Match Me if you haven’t yet, for the cool features and the added benefits of requiring a Facebook account to use. Like Facebook, Friends Match Me is totally free. You can sign up on our website at www.friendsmatchme.com, or download the app on Google Play or the App Store.
