Facebook announced last night a new feature designed to compete with Tinder, an application through which people from all over the world can try to find their soulmate, or just a companion for fun nights. Facebook claims that more than 200 million users of its social network mention that they are not in a relationship at the moment, so there is enough potential for the feature to be successful.
Facebook wants to copy Tinder because it doesn't have much to copy from Snapchat in its own applications, so it is reorienting itself towards services that until now it has not looked at with so much interest. Facebook will implement in the applications of the social network a functionality similar to that existing in Snapchat, users will see recommendations of people who are not in a relationship and would be willing to meet them.

Facebook will allow people to interact through a separate messaging system, which will only allow sending text messages, everything being saved in a separate section of the app, not in Facebook Messenger. You can see in the video clip above what the new function that Facebook wants to implement to copy Tinder will look like, but of course this is just the beginning of what will be offered.
Facebook waited a long time to offer a clone of Tinder within its own applications, and many people wondered why this functionality was not integrated more quickly within the social network. Well, here it is finally integrated, but it remains to be seen how many of those who use Tinder will decide to give up this service in order to use what the Facebook company will offer starting this year.
