## Description

Friendly Plus Social Browser unifies Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, Reddit and more into one powerful browser app, so you can manage multiple social accounts in a single place.

As the premium version of Friendly Social, it adds a Privacy Shield to block trackers, biometric login, media download, background playback with Picture-in-Picture, feed sorting by Most Recent, keyword filtering, plus theme and font size customization—all designed to protect your data and enhance your social experience. This app is maintained by Sensor Tower and is not affiliated with Facebook.

## Review summary

Reviews are overwhelmingly negative. Users report frequent crashes during downloads, long gaps in updates for the paid Plus version, broken social-network integration (Instagram/YouTube/Facebook), persistent ads, and performance issues like overheating. Some note the free version updates more often, and support responsiveness is poor, leading to refunds or churn.

### Pros

- Ad-blocking feature exists, as noted by reviewers.

### Cons

- Frequent crashes when downloading videos or photos; downloads crash the app.
- Plus/purchased version appears abandoned with long gaps between updates; free version updated more often.
- Compatibility issues with social platforms (Instagram, YouTube, Facebook); browser not supported or login failures.
- Ads are not blocked consistently; ads still appear in posts.
- App causes device to heat up / high resource usage.
