Zoom calls dominated our social lives during the pandemic. Dating apps began adding video components
Zoom calls dominated our social lives during the pandemic. Dating apps began adding video components as early as March of last year, with more and more launching similar features as 2020 dragged on.
Now, Facebook is testing its own speed dating app called Sparked,The Vergefirst reported.
Sparked, developed by Facebook's New Product Experimentation (NPE) team, isn't the app's first foray into dating. The tech giant introduced Facebook Dating in 2019, and NPE itself launched Tuned, a "private space for couples," around this time last year.
Sparked's website claims that the app won't have public profiles, swiping, or "endless DMs" — a direct shot at the most popular dating apps, like Tinder. You can sign up for Sparked's waitlist there, where they ask questions such as age and gender preferences towards dating, and your location. Naturally, you sign up with your Facebook account.

If you enjoy your first speed date with someone, you'll schedule a subsequent 10-minute date. Sparked encourages you to "take it from there" and meet elsewhere online, such as in DMs or Instagram (which is also owned by Facebook).
"We’re exploring how video-first speed dating can help people find love online," a Facebook spokesperson told Mashable.
The landing page after signing up for the waitlist says there will be "date night events."

SEE ALSO:New study shows that Facebook's job ad algorithm still discriminates based on genderFacebook may be bringing up the rear with video dates, but there's the added element of speed dating to make it more exciting (and/or terrifying). It's unclear when Sparked will officially launch or when these dating events will begin. According to Facebook's spokesperson, this is a small beta test and they'll "keep us posted" on how it works out.
