MENLO PARK, Calif., [Date] — Facebook introduced a new online community focused on helping people in long-distance relationships. The platform aims to connect users facing similar challenges and provide tools to strengthen their bonds.
The community allows members to share experiences, exchange advice, and participate in virtual events. Features include group video calls, shared activity planning, and discussion forums. Facebook developed the space after research showed over 15 million users identified as being in long-distance relationships.
A company representative stated, “People in long-distance relationships often feel isolated. This community gives them a place to find support and practical solutions.” The initiative integrates existing Facebook tools like Messenger Rooms and Watch Together but adds specialized resources tailored for distance challenges.
Members can join topic-based groups, such as “Time Zone Management” or “Surprise Gift Ideas,” and access guides on communication strategies. Monthly virtual events, like cooking classes or movie nights, will be hosted to encourage shared experiences. Users can also create private subgroups for personalized support circles.
The community is free and available globally in 12 languages. Facebook plans to expand features based on user feedback, including a shared calendar tool and collaborative photo albums. Early testing involved 5,000 users, with 89% reporting improved relationship satisfaction after three months.
Experts highlight the timing of the launch, noting increased reliance on digital connections during global shifts in work and travel patterns. Facebook emphasized safety measures, including moderation teams and privacy controls to protect sensitive discussions.
