First, make sure you’ve downloaded Bumble For Friends, our dedicated friendship app. If you already have a Bumble account, you can sign in to Bumble For Friends using the same account credentials associated with your Bumble account. Alternatively, you can create an account if you're new. 

Once you’re signed in, start building your profile. A complete profile is a key to more meaningful connections, so we encourage you to let your personality shine through. 

As you swipe through potential new friends, take the time to check out their profiles properly. Find common ground through similar life stages or interest badges, and don't be afraid to let others know what you're looking for in a new friendship. That could be anything from finding a roommate, or workout buddy, or bonding over your favorite show. 

When you're ready to meet IRL, follow these tips for a fun and safe experience.
