Facebook’s video speed dating app is called Sparked. This app allows users to go on four minute video speed dating. Facebook is reportedly testing this new app.
The app is developed by the Facebook team: Experimenting New Products which works on experimental services. The theme of the dating app is kindness. The video speed dating app appears to be free to use, and there won’t be any public profiles either, reports The Verge.
App users will cycle through dates at each event. In addition, it is not clear how many dates a person will go through the event. If users can connect in the first four minutes, they will be allowed to go on a second date. And the second step of the video date will last 10 minutes. Following this, this quick video date will encourage users to share contact information to stay in touch off the platform.

Facebook is now working on progress on the app, the social media platform told The Verge. This is an “initial experiment,” Facebook said.
According to The Verge, video dating has become a popular idea recently, mainly fueled by the pandemic and people staying at home and limiting their in-person interactions. The League first launched a video speed dating feature in 2019, and since then Hinge and Tinder have also launched the ability for people to video chat with matches.
Sparked would reflect The League’s approach and seems to suggest that the company is experimenting with new ways to get people to date as they tire of swiping and filtering hundreds of profiles, The Verge reports.
