[2025 Guide] How to Change Location on Facebook Dating?

Facebook announced the launch of Facebook Dating in May 2018. In just a few years, it has won the love of a large number of users around the world. Like dating apps such as Tinder, Facebook Dating also matches users based on their location, age, etc., so how to change the location has become a concern for users.

In this blog, I will introduce you how to change the location on Facebook Dating to help you find your soulmate around the world. Let’s go!

Dating locations on Facebook [You need to know]

Facebook Dating locations consist of two main options: Primary Dating location and Match Anywhere.

1. Primary Dating Location: This is based on your real-time GPS location, which you can update automatically. To change your Primary Dating location, you will need to use a Location Changer.

2. Match Anywhere: If you'd like to expand your match, you can add up to two additional locations using Match Anywhere. Your profile will then indicate that you're open to matches in those areas.

So next I will show you how to change your location based on these two location features on Facebook Dating.

Note: Match Anywhere is only available to some people right now. Newly created Facebook Dating profiles can't use this feature.

[3 Ways] How to Change Location on Facebook Dating?

Method 1 Change dating location on Facebook manually

You can't currently change your Primary Dating location in Facebook settings, as it's determined by real-time GPS location.

But if you want to match in a region other than your Primary Dating location, you can use Facebook's Match Anywhere feature. You can add up to 2 additional locations through Match Anywhere and can change each location once per week.

Add a location using Match Anywhere:

1. Open your Facebook app.

2. Tap Menu, then tap Dating.

3. At the top right, tap Profile.

4. Tap Dating preferences.

5. Tap Dating location.

6. Tap Add locations.

7. Search for the location you want to add and tap it.
