In pictures: Facebook’s annual developers conference in California
Zuckerberg unveiled the plans as he addressed Facebook’s annual F8 developers conference in San Jose, California – emphasising that the focus would be on helping people find long-term partners. Under the new feature, users will be able to create a separate “dating” profile not visible to their network of friends, with potential matches recommended based on dating preferences, points in common and mutual acquaintances.
