Hey there! Have you ever felt like making new friends is tougher than finding a date? Bumble gets it, and they have just the thing to help you. Bumble has launched a new standalone app called Bumble for Friends, designed to make friend-finding a breeze.
I remember the first time I used Bumble BFF. It was a bit confusing initially, but Bumble for Friends makes it much easier. This app is a spin-off of the main Bumble app’s BFF mode, and trust me, it’s user-friendly. You can upload multiple images, answer various prompts, highlight your interests, and specify what you’re looking for in a friend.
Bumble’s New Standalone App: Bumble for Friends
Bumble’s algorithm is sharp and will help you find friends based on your preferences. It’s perfect if you’re not into dating but want to meet new people. Once you match, you can use the app like any other social media platform to share stories, have group conversations, and even plan meet-ups. It’s a fantastic way to combat loneliness and improve your mental health.
Even though Bumble for Friends is free, a paid membership option gives you perks like unlimited likes and other premium features. And if you’re already on Bumble, you can transfer your profile to Bumble for Friends. Once you transfer, you can’t go back.
Bumble is serious about safety, too. The app has the same safeguards as the main Bumble app. If you encounter any inappropriate behavior, you can report it. During the testing phase, Bumble found that their new app promotes activities like meeting for coffee, grabbing a bite, live music or shows, and game nights. You can also customize your preferences to find friends who enjoy similar activities.
In a recent survey, 67 percent of Gen Z users wanted an app to help them make new friends. That’s a big reason why Bumble decided to create Bumble for Friends. About 15 percent of Bumble users only use BFF mode, so this standalone app is a smart move.
Bumble for Friends competes with friend-finding apps like Yubo, Lmk, Wink, Wizz, Swiper, and Hopp. If you enjoy BFF mode on Bumble, would you switch to the new standalone app or stick with the main one? With so many Gen Z users turning to apps like Discord to make friends, Bumble for Friends could be the alternative you didn’t know you needed.
Are you ready to give it a try? The app is available for both Android and iOS. So go ahead, download it, and start making some new friends today! What do you think? Will you switch to Bumble for Friends or prefer sticking with the main Bumble app? Let me know in the comments!
