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?

This app uses accessibility services

Android's Accessibility Services are used for detecting when you use a social media website through your web browser (like Google Chrome). Friendly Social gives you statistics around how much you are using social media and the stats from other web browsers are included in those statistics. This service is optional and completely opt-in.

Friendly is an alternative app and is no way sponsored, endorsed or administered by, or associated with Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Reddit or TikTok.

Friendly Social Browser is built by Sensor Tower.

Edit: Seems like 2 days after my statement, the issues have been mostly resolved. Adjusted my rating. I can no longer use this app. Been using it for several years, and loved it's features up till now. Currently, I have "sponsored" posts flooding my timeline, making it so that is all I see, and actual posts from my friends are burried. I go in the settings to filter out these posts, but it just ends up with a wall of "filtered post" banners, still not showing friend's posts. Please fix this.

2024 and another review edit (#3)! Still can't get it right in this app. Another update, another set of issues. Buttons on the lower toolbar still don't function properly. And now, notification button may open someone else's feed or it may open up 3 old notifications with half of the screen blank. Can't watch videos that friends post. How do your updates go so wrong? What exactly are you "updating"? At this point it's just comic relief to keep this app and see how bad it can get.

It works reasonably ok. My only complaints are: 1 - no option to sort posts by most recent. Not really this app's fault, but Facebook sucks for being so hostile to this. You can get a chronological feed from the 'Feeds' page, but .. 2 - the filters [remove sponsored posts] don't work in the Feeds->All view. That seems like something that could be fixed in the app.
