Importing Photos from Facebook

No matter which platform you're using, you can also choose to import photos from your Facebook account. You may be asked to enter your Facebook username and password if it's your first time using this feature. Simply select the photos you want to upload from your Facebook albums. When you’re finished selecting photos, tap on “Upload.” (If you’re using the iPhone app, tap on “Confirm.”)

For Facebook photos with captions, the caption will be submitted for approval as well and it will display with your photo if it's approved. Captions greater than 140 characters will not be imported.

We understand that your privacy is important to you. Importing photos from your Facebook will not result in showing your Match profile to your Facebook friends or posting anything to your timeline without your knowledge.

Importing Photos from Instagram

When you’re using the desktop site or the mobile site, you’ll also have the option to import photos from your Instagram account. You may be asked to enter your Instagram username and password if it's your first time using this feature. Simply select the photos you want to upload from your Instagram. When you’re finished selecting photos, tap on “Upload.” Your upload will begin immediately.
