2. Bumble BFF: Looking for friendship by swiping left and right
Bumble is not only for the romantic explorer but for friendship seekers as well. Just like swiping left or right for a potential date on Bumble, this Bumble BFF feature lets you find your BFF by doing the same.

“Bumble BFF is like magic; it turns swipes into friendships. It’s all about meeting awesome people who get you,” said Sarah Johnson, a social media analyst.

It could be from the next door, next building, or even blocks. It’s like your digital front porch for meeting your bestie right in your backyard.
