FOX26 – New dating app Wingr includes friends/family to assist in finding a relationship, similar to the wingman/wingwoman approach, where an individual may introduce potential partners to one another, help break the ice, or just be there for moral support. While that idea may seem intrusive to some, the reality is, according to surveys, app users often already relied on their friends or family to help them with even setting up their initial dating profiles or selecting a potential partner. The app launched in Jan 2022, and claims ~10K users.
