How to permanently delete your Facebook Dating profile, or 'take a break' from it?
You can easily delete your Facebook Dating profile on a mobile device if you no longer want to use Facebook's dating service.
Facebook Dating is Facebook's response to location-based dating apps such as Tinder and Bumble.
When you create a Facebook Dating profile, your name, age, and favorite pages and groups are carried over to help you create a unique dating profile.
If you've created a Facebook Dating profile, you may decide to delete it at some point. Maybe you've discovered that another dating app is better for you, or maybe you've discovered that dating apps aren't for you at all — or maybe it's the complete opposite, and you've found someone you really like and don't need the app any longer.
Regardless of the reason, deleting your Facebook Dating profile isn't too difficult.
Here's how to do it:
If you choose "Take a Break," your profile will not be deleted — so you can keep any old matches and conversations — but it will be hidden from the app. You can deactivate this option and restore full functionality to your account at any time.
