Regain Your Privacy
Block social trackers, and click trackers. Use our PIN or Fingerprint Lock.

Customize your News Feed
The brand spanking new Keyword Filtering feature for Android devices works in two ways: If you’re tired of seeing political posts, simply set your Keyword Filter to hide posts and articles containing the keywords “election,” “Republican,” or “Democrat”... and voilà: Any posts containing those words will not appear in your news feed.

Conversely, if you want to see more posts featuring cats (or posts from a close friend), you can set a Keyword Filter to highlight topics and users. Why settle for Fb less-than-ideal algorithm when you can take full news feed control with Friendly?

I have the paid version, and like others are saying, this app just does not work correctly and is in decline. Search barely functions, the feed seems to rarely update and then just cycles through a few select posts, and the app does not have or request storage/photos access so I cannot post media. Ive submitted a support request and due to no response I've dropped my rating.

(Premium version) App experience is continuing to decline. 1. The search bar does not work. 2. Can't upload photos or videos in post OR messages. 3. Feed Arbitrarily updates. Post can stay on your feed for 24 hours, and refresh doesn't show you new or different ones. 4. The back button doesn't work or has to be hit several times. 5." Reply" button doesn't work. 6. If you switch tabs, it will often reset and you'll lose whatever you were looking at/replying to. 7 No response from developers.

This app is so buggy and broken, even after a phone upgrade. Can't upload photos and sometimes it won't post comments or will only post the first couple of words and you can't edit it to fix it. Can't hide posts that I've seen 400 times already because "there was an error processing your request" And yet it's still better than the real Facebook app, literally only because of the ability to block certain features and block all of the "sponsored," "suggested," and "interested" posts.
