Since the inception of the internet, people have found it easier to meet new people and find new friends. The world is no longer so fa out as you were led to believe as a child and the World Wide Web is responsible for this.

But the very reason as to why the internet is so popular is also the reason as to why people are feeling disconnected and lonely now more than ever. Due to this, a need to meet people and connect with them has come to the fore, and in this article, we’ll look at some of the most popular apps that let people meet new people and make new friends.

1.      Meet My Dog

If you own a dog, you’ll know why it isn’t all that hard to meet people while you are walking your talk in the park. The Meet My Dog makes the whole process a lot easier since you will be able to post what your dogs are doing while also being able to view what other dogs are doing as well.

You can also chat with the owners of said dogs since the app also offers a chat room. Who knows, you may end up being on doggie dates.

2.      Peanut

The Peanut app exists in order to help women that have a child support each other and become better mothers in the process. Like all other social media apps, Peanut features chat, but the emphasis on this feature is kept on the low since the app encourages meetups more than text-based interaction.

Peanut is a great app that helps women who are on their paternity leave find friends and not stay socially dormant. The nature of the app also allows mothers to help with as well as receive advice.

3.      Nextdoor

A social media app geared towards communities and neighborhoods, Nextdoor helps you meet your neighbor during times when you cannot seem to run into them. This app will help you exchange your contact information if you allow. The details or posts will be published on the local community page.

Nextdoor is a great idea if you are looking to meet new people while you are in a new neighborhood. You’ll also be treated to recommendations from time to time.

4.      Bumble

Although Bumble is a very well-known app when it comes to dating what many people aren’t aware of is the fact that it is a very effective app to make friends as well.

You do not have to change much; you need to do whatever you do while you look for a date.
