Liverpool Crown Court heard how Wall, formerly of Ashdale Road, Liverpool set up a false Tinder account using the name Callum.
She contacted Woman A, a student in Liverpool, and exchanged sexually explicit images by using pictures of an unknown man.
After arranging to meet, Wall cancelled the get-together, said she was Callum's pal and befriended the woman as herself.
Simon Duncan, prosecuting, said Wall also set up a Tinder profile as a woman, Alisha, and exchanged sexual pictures with Man A.
'Alisha' suggested Man A meet Woman A and they formed a real life relationship, then realised Wall had catfished them both.
When confronted, Wall "flew into a rage" and threatened to send intimate pictures and videos of them to their friends and family.
She also contacted Woman A's parents when they were on holiday abroad, pretending to be Callum, saying she was suicidal.
Wall threatened to kill herself, but was arrested by police and accepted using false profiles to engineer the couple's liaison.
Mr Duncan said: "She described herself as asexual, but said she derived sexual excitement from the arrangements."
Judge Denis Watson, QC, said Wall was released on bail but used the website Just Eat in "deliberately spiteful" ways.
She ordered a takeaway to Woman A's home, accompanied by comments saying she was suicidal, so the restaurant contacted police.

Wall also ordered food for Woman A's parents, saying their daughter's life was in danger, and six police officers raided their home.
She threatened the dad: "Your daughter living in Liverpool is something you are going to regret. People are watching her every move.
"You will be planning her funeral very soon and also will be planning your whole family's. Your social medias are being watched.
"Terrorists know where your son lives, where your wife works and what nursing home your mother is in.
"Your daughter will be murdered soon. No police can protect your family."
Judge Watson said the dad recalled how this "sent a chill down his spine which he will never forget".
Wall meanwhile contacted police and falsely claimed she was being threatened by Woman A, supported by texts she sent herself.
She bombarded Woman A on Tinder, Instagram and Snapchat with threats and sent one message saying "you are going to die".
Wall repeatedly ordered food to Man A's mum's home, with messages saying she was holding his family hostage at knifepoint and would burn the house down.
Six police officers arrived to investigate on one occasion, causing the victim and his mum "untold distress, anxiety and worry".
Wall's dad, Scott Wall, who tried to help his daughter with her "addiction to social media", made her leave his home.
She moved in with her gran but then repeatedly ordered takeaways, accompanied by more sick messages, to his house.
Police and firefighters attended his property after she claimed to be holding a knife to her baby sister's throat and to have petrol.
Wall, of Leigh Road, Manchester, admitted perverting the course of justice, stalking and eight counts of malicious communications.
She has a conditional caution for blackmail, after posing as a man to obtain sexual photos from a woman, then demanding cash not to publish them.
Wall also has convictions for harassment against this woman, malicious communications to a connected man, and for breaching orders.
Wall burst into tears as the judge said: "It isn't social media that is your own worst enemy - you are your own worst enemy."
He handed her four years and two months in a Young Offenders Institution, plus indefinite restraining orders against eight people.
Judge Watson also imposed an indefinite Criminal Behaviour Order, preventing her from using false identities online.
