I've been using a dating app on Facebook for 3 days. It has many features, such as adjusting the search distance, connecting with people who have similar interests and choosing the age range you prefer to date. I've met a lot of people through the app. I've heard about many scams on dating app from Television, It surprised me to see that many people have been using the app. Do you think that's accurate? I suppose I'll have to try it out to reach a conclusion.

I don't get it. In the first sentence you say you've been using that app for three days. In the last sentence you say you'll have to try it out.

By the way, I've been on Facebook for years, and this is the first time I've heard of their dating app

I want to experience it for long time to reach a conclusion.

It's available on mobile, but It isn't available on desktop

Two things. One, apparently, Facebook really does have a dating app. Two, I think what you mean to say is you want to give it more of a chance to see if works.

I misunderstood what you meant.

Yes, I want to give it a chance. Is it bad?

The whole thing is very wordy. I'd say:

I've been using the Facebook dating app for a while but I recently heard on TV that there are a lot of scammers on there. Do you think that's true?

How can I improve my skill writing

As someone who once wrote for a living, albeit long ago, I have three pieces of advice. First, let anything you write get cold for a day or two. Then go back and edit it. Secondly, prune vigorously: brevity is far better than verbosity. And third, prefer short simple words and sentences over long and complex ones. In that regard Ernest Hemingway set a superb example. Read anything and everything he wrote and try to emulate his style.
