If you've been struggling to find the AdultFriendFinder app, there's a good reason: there isn't one. As one of the OGs of online dating, with a history that spans more than 20 years, AFF prefers to keep things decidedly old-school. But most AFF users can still access the platform and its content on mobile devices. They do this through the AFF site’s mobile version, which works with either Safari or Google Chrome, though the most committed AFF users have figured out a clever workaround that mimics the app experience.

What to know how you can do this too? Keep reading to find out more.

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. NSFW is a big no-no. And as Adult Friend Finder allows on-site nudity in profiles, chat forums, and live broadcasts (let's be honest: it's everywhere on AFF) — the site is barred from having an official app for the two most-used mobile platforms.

AdultFriendFinder
                                         —


Tinder
                                         —


Hinge
                                         —
                **readers’ pick for casual connections**


                                **top pick for finding hookups**


                                **popular choice for regular meetups**

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 censored version of the app available and likely never will be. It's non-negotiable, unfortunately. This is why users have sought an alternative method for using AFF on mobile devices.

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 home screen shortcut to the Adult Friend Finder site. And if you have cookies enabled, you can also stay logged in each time, which saves you from 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
