25 dating apps have 22,852 ads in the Meta Ad Library between them, and 5,201 of those were running when we read it on October 8, 2026. Below is a page of creative from each, what formats carry the category, and how long the ads that work stay up.

Dating apps advertise the person you have not met yet, so the creative is a face and a city rather than a feature list, and the offer is almost always to open the app tonight.

Which dating apps run the most ads?

The library count is everything a brand has published on Meta. The active count is what was delivering at the read. The ratio between them is the account’s posture: a large library with a small active share is a brand cycling hard, and one where nearly everything is live is running a small curated set.

What formats do dating ads use?

video leads at 54 percent of the 711 creatives read here, with carousel at 28 percent and static at 18. Install now carries 42 percent of the calls to action.

The median creative here ran 38 days and the longest was still up at 746. Run length is the closest thing to a public performance signal these libraries publish, because nobody keeps paying to deliver an ad that is not working. How that compares with every other industry is in the Meta ad creative benchmarks.

How to run dating ads on Facebook and Instagram

  1. 1

    Show the app doing the one thing people want

    A screen recording of the core moment, the budget balancing, the match, the level cleared, beats a list of features. One outcome per ad.

  2. 2

    Open with the problem, in their words

    The first line names a frustration the viewer already has. The app is the answer in the second line, not the first.

  3. 3

    Optimize for the users who stay

    Installs are cheap; users who come back are not. Send Meta your in-app events, trial starts or purchases, and optimize toward those. "Install now" is the most used button here.

  4. 4

    Make a lot of creative

    App advertisers who win run many variations at once and let spend find the winner. Vary the hook, the first frame and the person on screen before you vary the audience.

  5. 5

    Keep the winners running and replace the rest

    The median dating ad here stayed up 38 days. Give a new ad a week of spend before you judge it, then retire what is not getting results and write the next version of what is. The advertisers with the most live ads are the ones testing the most.
