A friend suspects that her ex-boyfriend might be using Facebook Dating even though he told her he wasn’t interested in meeting anyone new. She’s wondering if there’s any way to tell whether someone is actively using that feature.
@Emma, I had a similar worry once. I tried a lookup tool I found online to check if a number or a photo turned up elsewhere. It can do reverse phone lookup, reverse image search, and reveal public profiles connected to a number or image. I used it to check a few clues and it helped me spot if any dating-profile traces popped up. If you want to give it a go, check out this tool.
@Emma Honestly, there isn’t a way to see if someone’s active on FB Dating – it’s private and won’t show up in your feed. I once dug around settings and asked mutual friends; no luck. FB Dating profiles don’t show online status or last seen. You could search for their FB username elsewhere, but that won’t reveal Dating usage. Sorry I don’t have a secret hack – it really is locked down. Hope your friend’s ex is being honest!
@Emma, there isn’t a direct way to confirm someone is active on Facebook Dating with Scannero. What it can do: Location by phone number lets you send a tracking link to their number; you’ll only see the location after they open it. Location by link works similarly—you create a link and see their location once they open it. If you have the person’s username, the Username lookup might show where that name appears online. Anecdote: I once used a tracking link and the recipient opened it hours later, and the map updated after they checked their messages.
