About this app

Friendly: Your All-in-One Social Media Hub
Enjoy a streamlined social media experience with Friendly, offering ad-free browsing and easy video download options. Access all your favorite social platforms efficiently without the clutter of multiple apps.

Over 17 million mobile downloads!

Built as an extension of the lite mobile website, it preserves your battery, storage and data, while giving you back control over your news feed.

Social Browser
No need to download a ton of apps! You can have Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, Reddit, etc. in One App!

Video Download
Easily save your videos to share or watch them later. Works also with your photos.

Regain Your Privacy
Block social trackers, and click trackers. Use our PIN or Fingerprint Lock.

Customize your News Feed
The brand spanking new Keyword Filtering feature for Android devices works in two ways: If you’re tired of seeing political posts, simply set your Keyword Filter to hide posts and articles containing the keywords “election,” “Republican,” or “Democrat”... and voilà: Any posts containing those words will not appear in your news feed.

Conversely, if you want to see more posts featuring cats (or posts from a close friend), you can set a Keyword Filter to highlight topics and users. Why settle for Fb less-than-ideal algorithm when you can take full news feed control with Friendly?

Why You’ll Love Friendly
• Download your videos or photos
• Take control of your news feed with Keyword Filters
• Sort your news feed by Most Recent posts
• No need for another messenger app to message your friends

I tried. I really wanted to like it. But I had to give it up. I like that it's an app that isn't Facebook, but using a browser ended up being a better experience. I couldn't handle the lack of notification options, the troubles with screen resizing (not being able to see all the content on a page), and the login troubles (clicking on my profile and being taken to my profile, but saying I'm not logged in). Only used Facebook, but it wasn't good enough for me, when simpler options work

Friendly used to block ads in Facebook, as well as let you customize your feed settings. The app now no longer functions correctly in nearly any capacity. I can't change Facebook feed settings because the check mark buttons don't work in the app. The app no longer blocks ads. The app doesn't allow you to comment - the text box simply doesn't exist within the app any longer. A once great app, now useless. Pretty sad.

It works reasonably ok. My only complaints are: 1 - no option to sort posts by most recent. Not really this app's fault, but Facebook sucks for being so hostile to this. You can get a chronological feed from the 'Feeds' page, but .. 2 - the filters [remove sponsored posts] don't work in the Feeds->All view. That seems like something that could be fixed in the app.
