MENLO PARK, Calif. — Facebook announced today the launch of a dedicated online community aimed at supporting individuals in long-distance relationships. The platform’s new space will connect users globally to share experiences, access resources, and find advice for maintaining relationships across distances.
The community will feature discussion forums, expert articles, and tools for planning virtual dates or managing time zone differences. Members can join groups based on location, interests, or relationship stages. Video call integrations and event-planning features will help users strengthen connections.
A Facebook spokesperson stated the initiative addresses growing demand for specialized support. “Many people face challenges in long-distance relationships. This community provides a place to ask questions, share stories, and feel less alone,” they said.
The project involved collaboration with relationship coaches and mental health professionals. Resources include tips for communication, trust-building, and managing visits. Tools like shared calendars and countdowns for reunions aim to reduce stress.
The launch aligns with Facebook’s broader push to foster meaningful connections. Recent updates introduced features for group video watching and memory-sharing albums. The company noted over 15 million users currently list long-distance relationships in their profiles.
Membership is free and open to all Facebook users. The community is available on iOS, Android, and desktop. Users can search “Long-Distance Relationship Support” in Groups or access it via the News Feed sidebar.
