INDEPENDENT.CO.UK – Mar 6 – Chappy, a new dating app, specifically for gay men, has been launched with the aim to give users a choice between relationships or more casual hook ups. The app is being rolled out in London, New York City and Los Angeles and has been backed by Whitney Wolfe, the co-founder of Tinder and CEO of Bumble. Last year she praised the shared values between Bumble and Chappy saying: "Bumble has made great strides for women in the dating scene and we believe Chappy will do the same for gay men." Similar to Tinder, the app verifies people's accounts through Facebook which was key to avoid unwanted pornographic pictures. Additionally, users cannot display photos unless their faces are in it.
