## [ Friends Before Lovers: Bumble For Friends](https://bumble.com/bff)

What We Like

Works the same as Bumble.
Chatting possible only with other matches.

What We Don’t Like

Only have 24 hours to start up a conversation.
Many features require a premium subscription.

You may know of Bumble as the dating app where women make the first move, but Bumble For Friends (Bumble BFF) is a whole separate app for making new friends.

If you have a Bumble profile, you can use that login to get started on Bumble BFF. Like Bumble, users swipe left or right to match with another person. If both of you match, you can then begin talking.

Unlike the dating app, there are no restrictions for who can start a conversation first, but you have to message the other person within 24 hours, or else you’ll lose the match.

It’s a great app if you want a quick and easy way to make new friends, though some of the advanced connection and search features sit behind a paywall.

## [ For More Of A Social Media Experience: MeetMe](https://www.meetme.com/#home)

What We Like

You can make posts for others to comment one.
Change your location to see who’s near you.
Can live stream through the app.

What We Don’t Like

May have a lot of fake accounts.

MeetMe is an app where you can find people near you, chat one-on-one, and find some new friends. This app is unique in that it has more of a typical social media feel, where you can make posts as well as like and comment on others’ posts.

There is also a live stream feature where you can go live and people in your area on the app can watch if they choose to. But, as with any social networking app, it’s wise to use caution against potentially face accounts, which is something that you might encounter a lot with this app.
