is the app asking for too much content or content that you are not comfortable providing?\u00a0 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.\u00a0 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):<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-915\" src=\"https:\/\/www.friendsmatchme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/friends-match-me-facebook-dating-app-join.jpg\" alt=\"Friends Match Me, Facebook Dating App, Join\" width=\"720\" height=\"706\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.friendsmatchme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/friends-match-me-facebook-dating-app-join.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.friendsmatchme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/friends-match-me-facebook-dating-app-join-300x294.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When signing up, you can click on the &#8220;Edit This&#8221; link to edit the Facebook permissions you approve; you can update this later from your Facebook account too.\u00a0 Not approving your birthday will show an age of 0 on your Friends Match Me dating profile, so it should be provided via Facebook.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 Friends Match Me does not ask for access to your other photos or albums.<\/p>\n<p>It is also important to check the android and ios app permissions the dating app requires.\u00a0 You can find the Friends Match Me app on <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.friendsmatchme\" target=\"_blank\">Google Play<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/app\/friends-match-me-dating-app\/id1225430256\" target=\"_blank\">App Store<\/a>\u00a0(just search for &#8220;friendsmatchme&#8221;), besides online at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.friendsmatchme.com\">www.friendsmatchme.com<\/a>, with a list of permissions required.\u00a0 Like for the Facebook permissions, Friends Match Me also just requires the minimum\u00a0permissions that are necessary\u00a0for\u00a0the smartphone app, to provide the online dating experience\u00a0&#8211;

you can filter these results by gender, age, and location too.\u00a0 These cool features are available because\u00a0Friends Match Me\u00a0is a Facebook dating app.\u00a0 And, since we require all members to sign up through Facebook, there isn&#8217;t a reason a dating profile won&#8217;t show you have a mutual friend with someone unless you don&#8217;t &#8211; it won&#8217;t be because they have not connected with Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>A\u00a0truly 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.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 So if Facebook bans an account, that account will also not have access to the associated dating profile on Friends Match Me.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 We also have online\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.friendsmatchme.com\/blog\/828\/automatic-routine-quality-checks-for-fake-dating-profiles-spam-activity\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Automatic routine quality checks for fake dating profiles &amp;
