The Rise of Apps for Making Friends Online
Apps specifically designed for making friends online are becoming increasingly popular, especially among younger people. These apps offer a new way to combat loneliness, which is a significant issue, particularly among Gen Z. With online dating becoming more accepted, making friends online is also gaining social acceptance. Bumble recently launched a standalone app called Bumble for Friends, allowing users to swipe and find potential platonic matches. One unique feature of this app is the ability to start group chats, which makes planning activities with multiple matches easier and less intimidating. These friendship apps provide a structured and specific platform for connecting with new people, reducing the uncertainty and effort often associated with traditional methods of making friends.
