BBW Hookup App: Fat F-Buddy on Your Home Screen

Pin it to your iPhone or Android home screen and it is one tap away.

The short answer

Yes. Fat F-Buddy runs in your phone’s browser and pins to your home screen, so it opens like any other app. Setup takes a few taps.

A BBW hookup app that opens in one tap

Whatever you searched, you wanted the same thing: a quick way to reach adults who like bigger bodies and want no strings, from the phone already in your hand. Fat F-Buddy skips the store. Open the site once, pin it, and from then on a tap on its own icon takes you straight back to your matches and messages.

How do I add it to my iPhone?

Use Safari. It is four short steps.

  1. Open the site in Safari

    Go to Fat F-Buddy and log in, or join if you haven’t yet.

  2. Tap the Share button

    It’s the square with an arrow pointing up. Can’t see it? Tap the three dots and look for Share there.

  3. Choose Add to Home Screen

    Scroll down the list of options until you spot it, then tap it.

  4. Name it and tap Add

    The name box is yours to edit. If the icon asks you to log in again the first time you open it, that’s normal.

Same trick on an Android phone

  1. Open the site in Chrome

    Go to Fat F-Buddy and log in.

  2. Open the Chrome menu

    Tap the three dots next to the address bar, usually at the top right.

  3. Choose Add to Home screen or Install app

    Chrome offers one or the other, depending on your phone. Either puts an icon on your home screen.

  4. Confirm the name

    Change it if you are offered a box for it, tap Add or Install, and the icon appears.

Rename it if you want to. An iPhone lets you edit the name as you add the shortcut, and Chrome on Android usually does too. The label changes, not the icon, so the shared phone tips below still apply.

What can I do once it is on my phone?

Nothing to download, nothing to explain

A home screen shortcut stays out of the places a store app leaves a trail.

  • No download

    You never visit a store or wait on an install.

  • No updates

    The site is current whenever you open it, so there are no update prompts.

  • No store history

    A shortcut never goes through the App Store or Google Play, so it does not show up in your download history.

A dating app from a store is a download, a stream of updates and a line in your purchase and download history. A shortcut to a website is none of those, which for a private hookup is the part worth having.

What do VIP and VIP Plus add on your phone?

Everyone starts on Classic and can add the shortcut. Here is what each step up brings.

What each level gives you, on a phone or a computer.

The features page lists every tool, and the pricing page shows the plans.

Private even when the phone is shared

  • Use a username, not your name. Other members see only the username you choose, never your real name or email.
  • Tuck the icon into a folder. A new name changes the label, not the picture, so a folder of everyday apps hides it.
  • Hide previews on the lock screen. Switch them off in your phone’s notification settings so an alert can’t be read over your shoulder.
  • Sign out when you are done, on any phone someone else might pick up.
  • Lock the phone itself. A passcode or fingerprint does most of the work.

The safety page covers what protects you on the site, and our guides cover the meeting itself.

Quick answers before you pin it

Is there a BBW hookup app for iPhone and Android?

Yes, in the way that counts. Add Fat F-Buddy to your home screen from Safari or Chrome and it opens like an app. You don’t need a store app to join, message or meet.

Will it show up in my App Store or Google Play history?

No. A home screen shortcut never goes through a store, so it will not appear in your download history. The icon is still on your screen, so rename it, tuck it into a folder and sign out on a shared phone.

What happens if I delete the icon?

Nothing happens to your account. The icon is only a shortcut, so your profile, matches and messages stay where they are. To get it back, repeat the steps above or log in from your browser.

Do I need VIP to use it on my phone?

No. Classic is where everyone starts, and it covers the shortcut, a profile, daily matches and a few messages each day. Moving up to VIP or VIP Plus adds tools like unlimited messaging and search filters.
