Yes.
When mechanical energy is lost to friction, it is converted into thermal energy due to the heat generated by the friction. This thermal energy dissipates into the surroundings, which is why the original mechanical energy is no longer in its mechanical form.
Friction converts mechanical energy into thermal energy, causing the surfaces in contact to heat up as a result of the resistance to motion.
It is converted into thermal energy, or heat.
When you apply the brakes on a bicycle, friction between the brake pads and the wheel rim converts some mechanical energy into thermal energy due to the heat generated by friction. This heat dissipates into the surrounding environment.
Mechanical energy is changed to thermal energy when you rub your hands together. The friction created between your hands generates heat due to the conversion of mechanical energy into thermal energy.

Normally, friction between moving surfaces causes mechanical energy to convert to thermal energy (heat), as in the brakes of most cars.

Rub your hands together and they feel warm, right? That's it, rubbing your hands is using mechanical energy, which is by friction then converted to thermal energy (heat).
Friction does not necessarily cause mechanical energy to be transformed into potential energy. Friction typically results in the conversion of mechanical energy into thermal energy, leading to an increase in temperature in the objects experiencing friction. Potential energy is associated with the position of an object in a gravitational field or an elastic material, and it is not directly influenced by friction.
When you rub your hands together, friction between your hands creates thermal energy because the kinetic energy of motion is converted into heat. This heat generation is a direct result of the friction between your hands, turning mechanical energy into thermal energy.
Friction can cause kinetic energy to change into thermal energy
Mechanical energy is used, and thermal energy is produced
