Monkey - make new friends

What Monkey Does

Monkey - make new friends is a social discovery app built around meeting people through quick, direct interactions. It suits users who prefer live conversation and visual introductions over browsing long profiles or relying only on text. The app combines video, chat, and profile-based discovery in one place, with a focus on moving quickly from finding someone new to starting a conversation.

Ways to Meet People

Users can browse potential connections with a card-swiping interface, then choose whether to continue through video or text. Video chats provide a more immediate way to meet, while direct messages give users a way to keep talking after an initial interaction. Group or “squad” conversations add another format for meeting several people rather than having every interaction take place one to one.

Profiles and Conversation

Monkey gives profiles a more expressive feel than a basic username and bio. Users can set a mood and add an automatically playing profile song, helping them show something about their personality before a chat begins. This approach is aimed at people who enjoy quick impressions, informal presentation, and frequent new conversations. The same fast pace can also mean that some connections remain brief rather than developing into lasting friendships.

Scale and Standing

Monkey Group is the developer behind the app. It has recorded 10,000,000+ installs and a 3.799245 rating from 70,624 reviews, giving it a substantial presence in the Social category. Its strongest fit is for users looking for spontaneous video-led discovery, with text chat available when a conversation is worth continuing.
