Facebook in early stages of developing a video speed dating app for ‘kind daters’

Facebook’s experiment apps: Social media giant Facebook is working on a video speed-dating app called Sparked, which has been developed by the tech giant’s in-house experimental app group – NPE Team. Sparked requires users to have a Facebook profile in order for them to create an account. The key feature of the app is that it is meant for video speed dating among kind people, which means that kindness is the theme for Sparked.

The app promises that there would be no public profiles, swiping or direct messages (DMs). The app is also free to use. As it seems, the app would cycle people through speed video dates lasting four minutes. This is something similar to what Kik app did – only it allowed two people to chat via messages for 15 minutes anonymously, and their identities were only revealed if they chose to connect with each other within that stipulated time.
