Meta Adds AI Dating Assistant and 'Meet Cute' to Facebook Dating in U.S. and Canada

Early access is limited, with availability starting in the U.S. and Canada.

Overview

  • Meta’s conversational assistant lets users search for matches with natural-language prompts, refines suggestions by stated interests, and offers profile and date-idea help.
  • Meet Cute delivers one automatic, personalized match each week by default, with an opt-out available and matching frequency still being tested.
  • The rollout is gradual within the Facebook app’s Dating section in the United States and Canada, with no timeline announced for other regions.
  • Facebook Dating continues to avoid swipe mechanics, asking users to like or comment to show interest as Meta targets widespread swipe fatigue.
  • Meta reports hundreds of thousands of profiles from 18–29-year-olds and about 10% year-over-year growth, as rivals like Bumble and Tinder deploy similar AI features.
