Recently, the number of apps dedicated to finding friends has really increased. Not dating or marriage apps, but those specifically focused on pure friend-seeking. Especially, many are exclusive to women, and the feature is that you can easily connect with the same gender.

What caught my attention is that almost all of them place quite a lot of importance on safety. Identity verification and 24-hour monitoring systems, they seem to be genuinely committed. Also, there are apps specialized in hobbies like supporting favorite idols or golf. If it's an app to find friends with the same hobby, it’s easier to get along and form natural connections.

I didn’t know there are also apps for people in their 30s and 40s. Being able to choose friend-seeking apps based on age groups might be pretty good. But, which one to pick depends on what you prioritize—like free usage limits or the richness of search functions.

What kind of apps do you use? Or do you have other methods for finding friends?
