I didn't think young people used the Facebook brand anymore? If all the stories that have been published about that are to be believed.

They don't. They should have called this Instagram Dating, but Zuck doesn't want to admit that the Facebook brand is no longer "cool"
I think dating being "cool" is dangerous territory, and probably why Facebook dating didn't exist until now.
That's Tinder territory, and tinder doesn't have a great reputation as an app that's "healthy".

I have plenty of people in my extended friend group who are in their mid to late 20s, and most of them are still quite active on FB.
Nobody thinks it's cool or fun anymore, of course. But it's still the go-to spot for sharing life events, family news, anything you want to brag about really. Or any vacation pictures that you'd like grandma and grandpa to see.
IG is still image driven, so it's not a platform you can easily use for relaying text based information to your social network.
Mid to late 20s are the old people everyone's talking. That age group was in high school when Facebook was getting popular
Young is like current high school and college

Late 20s is def old (I can personally attest to that). Mid 20s might be too? In the context of what’s being discussed here.
