Make sure you have a good internet connection

If you are connected to a Wi-Fi network, but you seem to have issues using not only Facebook Dating but other apps as well, you should restart your modem/router.

Force close the app and launch it again

Sometimes, all you have to do is force close the app and then launch it again. On Android, go to Settings > Apps > Facebook > Storage, and tap Force stop. On iPhone, swipe up from the bottom of the screen, find Facebook, then swipe up on its preview to close it.

Restart your smartphone

Reinstall the app

If you are using an iPhone – tap and hold the Facebook icon on the Home screen. Tap X and then tap Delete. Head over to App Store, download, and install the app.

If you are using an Android device – tap and hold the Facebook icon on the Home screen, then tap Uninstall. Go to the Play Store, download, and install the app.
