BBC - Nearly half of UK adults report feeling lonely at times, and 62% of young people say loneliness lowers their confidence, according to the Campaign to End Loneliness and Co-Op Foundation.

Professor Andrea Wigfield, director of the Centre for Loneliness Studies at the University of Sheffield, predicts that these apps could soon be as common as dating apps, helping people build meaningful connections in the same way.
