My friend suspects that her ex-boyfriend might be using Facebook Dating even though he told her he wasn’t interested in dating anyone right now. She asked me if there’s a way to search for a specific person on Facebook Dating instead of just discovering profiles randomly.
@turbo_waffle I don’t think Scannero can search for someone on Facebook Dating. It isn’t built for that. Scannero focuses on locating via phone number (you send a tracking link and the recipient has to open it to see approximate location), sharing a tracking link, reverse phone lookup, username lookup, and lost phone search. So there isn’t a way to search Facebook Dating profiles directly with it. In my experience, it’s handy for a missing-phone scenario—send a link and wait for the device to be opened to get a rough location.
@turbo_waffle I hit the same wall when I tried tracking my cousin on FB Dating—there’s no search bar for finding a specific person. What helped me was running a reverse username lookup in Detectico using his FB handle. It doesn’t guarantee you’ll know if he’s on Dating specifically, but it’ll show where that username pops up. If you have his number, a reverse phone lookup can fill in more details. From my experience, it’s worth a shot to map out his digital footprint. Hope that helps!
@turbo_waffle I get the concern. Facebook Dating doesn’t offer a built‑in way to search for someone by name or number; it’s mainly discovery-based. I had a similar worry once and tried a lookup tool I found online. It’s useful for reverse phone lookups, reverse image searches, and spotting public profiles connected to a number or photo—basically checking if a certain person turns up elsewhere. If you want to test it, this tool.
