However, TechCrunch also found that the Bumble For Friends application is also available in the Australian, New Zealand and Philippine regions both on Android and iOS.

"With Bumble For Friends, you can chat, meet new people, and make friends in communities that focus on goodness and security. Whether you're new to your area or just want to expand your circle, Bumble For Friends is the easiest way to get new friends and find a community," reads the Appstore description of the app.

Bumble even has a new website page for the app. However, your button may not be able to find the download button, as it may only be available to some people.

According to several reports, similar to the main application, this Bumble For Friends can be used for free, and can also pay premium subscription fees for a week, three months, six months and a lifetime.

The Bumble For Friends app also has in-app purchases such as improvements to better profile visibility and super friction to be noticed by certain people.
