The new dating app Tribal promotes deeper connections by blurring users' photos for 72 hours, encouraging meaningful conversations. Founded by clinical psychologist Rachel Harker, the app addresses the rise of loneliness and dissatisfaction with traditional dating methods. Harker's approach emerged after observing friends struggling with ghosting and swipe fatigue, revealing a need for more authentic interactions. Tribal serves as both a dating and friendship-finding platform, challenging the superficiality of existing apps that rely heavily on image-based judgments.
In her opinion, traditional apps have become both "superficial" and "unethical." With hidden algorithms and subscription fees for better matches, the dating landscape has devolved into purely a numbers game.
Harker tells news.com.au about the app, which has a dual purpose as both a friendship-finding tool and a dating platform. She witnessed her friends and colleagues trapped in a frustrating cycle with traditional apps.
