Adult Friend Finder app: Where to download the AFF app and how secure is it?

If you've been struggling to find the AdultFriendFinder app, you're not alone. Despite being one of the OGs of online dating with a history spanning over 20 years, AdultFriendFinder (AFF) prefers to maintain its presence through a mobile-friendly website. Users can still access AFF's content on their mobile devices by using the site's mobile version, which works with either Safari or Google Chrome.

However, due to strict policies on Apple's App Store and Google Play Store regarding sexually explicit content, AFF does not have an official app available for download.

To mimic the app experience on their mobile devices, committed users have found a workaround. They can create a home screen shortcut to the AdultFriendFinder website, which functions similarly to an app. Here's how to do it for iPhone or iPad users: navigate to AdultFriendFinder.com in Safari's mobile browser; tap the ellipsis icon in the bottom right corner; then tap the Share icon at the top of the pop-up menu; scroll down and select "Add to Home Screen."

For Android users, the process is slightly different: navigate to AdultFriendFinder.com in Chrome's mobile browser; tap the menu icon in the upper right corner; then select "Add to Home Screen." Remember to assign a name to the icon before adding it to the home screen.

While accessing AFF through a home screen shortcut is functionally the same as using the actual site, there are a few considerations to keep in mind. Sharing your phone or tablet with someone else could expose your AFF account to them. If you want to keep your AFF use discreet, consider hiding the shortcut within a sub-folder or password-protected folder. To avoid saving login credentials, create the icon using Safari's or Chrome's incognito or private browsing function.
