Adult Friend Finder app: Where to download the AFF app and how secure is it?
There isn’t actually an official Adult Friend Finder app, but a lot of the site’s users still access its content on mobile devices. Many of them do so using the site’s mobile version, through either Safari or Google Chrome, but diehard fans of the site have created a workaround to mimic the experience of using an app.
Here’s everything you need to know.
Why doesn’t Adult Friend Finder have an app?
Both Apple and Google strictly police the kinds of content they allow on their respective app stores, and because Adult Friend Finder allows on-site nudity, including in profiles, chat forums, and live broadcasts, they haven’t been granted permission to create an official app for the two most-used mobile platforms.
Unfortunately, these rules apply even if you don’t have nudity on your profile or have turned on all the filters that restrict the display of adult content when using AFF, so there isn’t even a watered-down version of the app available and likely never will be.
What’s the best alternative?
If you really want to mimic the experience of using an app on your phone, you can simply create a homescreen shortcut to the Adult Friend Finder site. If you have cookies enabled and have already logged in, you can even remain logged in each time, saving you having to re-enter your login credentials.
To create a homescreen shortcut on your iPhone or iPad, follow these steps:
Navigate to AdultFriendFinder.com in your Safari mobile browser (no third-party browser will work)
Tap the ellipsis icon in the bottom right corner of your Safari app, and then tap the Share icon at the top of the pop-up menu
Scroll towards the bottom of the option list and select "Add to Home Screen"
You will be prompted to assign a name to the icon before you can hit "Add"
For Android users, the steps are slightly different:
Navigate to AdultFriendFinder.com in your Chrome mobile browser (no third-party browser will work)
Tap the menu icon in the upper right corner of your Chrome app, and then tap "Add to Home Screen"
You will be prompted to assign a name to the icon before you can hit "Add"
How secure is this home screen icon approach?
This method of accessing Adult Friend Finder is functionally no different than opening Chrome or Safari first, so it's no less safe than using the actual site, but there are a few things to consider:
If you share your phone or tablet with someone else, they will be able to see the AFF icon and possibly even access your account just by clicking on the app
If you prefer to keep your Adult Friend Finder use hidden, consider hiding the icon within a sub-folder or within a password-protected folder
To ensure your login credentials aren't saved, create the icon itself using your mobile browser's incognito or private browsing function
