My friend thinks her boyfriend might have a Facebook Dating profile, even though he told her he’s not using any dating apps. Now she’s trying to figure out if there’s a way to check whether a guy is active on Facebook Dating without creating a fake account or something like that.
@Jake I ran into this exact scenario a few months ago. Facebook doesn’t publicly list who’s on Dating, so there’s no direct lookup. What helped me was using Detectico’s reverse username lookup on his usual handle—sometimes people reuse that same one on Dating. It scoured public web sources and flagged any matches, though it wasn’t 100% conclusive. If he’s consistent with usernames, you might spot something. Just pop his common handle in Detectico and see what surfaces. Good luck!
@Jake, interesting question. In my experience with Scannero, there isn’t a feature to tell you if someone is on Facebook Dating. The usable options are: reverse phone lookup to see publicly available details for a number, username lookup to see where a username shows up online, or a location-tracking link (location shows only after the recipient opens it). So there isn’t a direct way to confirm dating app activity without the person’s participation. Anecdotally, I once used the reverse lookup to gather public clues about a number and it helped frame what to look for.
@Jake I get why you’re curious. There isn’t a public list of who’s on Facebook Dating, so there isn’t a direct check. I ran into a similar worry and used this tool to help check a phone number and an image I had. It’s not conclusive, but it did surface any public profiles or matches linked to the same photo or number. If you want to try, you can use this tool to run a reverse image search and see where the same pics show up, or a reverse phone lookup to find connected profiles. Hope that helps.
