Hold your horses, partner!

We know, green bubbles need love too! 💚

Our developers are currently fueled by caffeine and pizza, working non-stop to build the Android version. It’s cooking in the oven and smells delicious.

Current Status: Teaching robots how to be social...

For now, Friending is iOS only. Tell your iPhone friends they're lucky (we won't tell anyone you said that).

The Problem

Why is it so hard to just hang out?

It's Hard

Making real friends as an adult is surprisingly difficult. Everyone is "busy".

Not for Dating

Dating apps are for romance. Using them for friendship feels awkward and confusing.

Too Noisy

Social media is full of noise, ads, and influencers. It's about content, not connection.

Fakes & Bots

Most platforms are full of inactive profiles, scammers, or bots. You never know who is real.

Friending was built to fix that.
Friends hanging out together

What is Friending?

A friend-finding app built on trust.

Friending connects you with people nearby who genuinely want to make friends — whether you're new in town, traveling, or simply looking to expand your social circle.

You discover people based on:

  • Shared interests
  • Activities you actually enjoy
  • Real-world proximity
No swiping for validation. Just real connections.

Verified by Design

Real people only. Always.

Every Friending member goes through ID and selfie verification, powered by Persona. Yes, it takes a moment — but once you're in, you know something important: Everyone you meet on Friending is verified too.

  • × No fake profiles
  • × No catfishing
  • × No bots

Just a safe, trustworthy space to meet people you can actually hang out with.
