Truth is, nobody can stop you from showing your friends all the messages you get on dating sites, especially the creepy PMs women get all the time due to the gender disparity in many services. Maybe you want to ask them what they think of your prospective date based on your conversation or to warn them off talking to this person who's been harassing you on the app for months. But making eavesdropping an actual feature in a dating app is alarming. A lot of people would consider inviting friends to watch a private convo from behind a cloak of invisibility a betrayal of trust and a huge violation of privacy. The app's creator, Alejandro Ponce, told TechCrunch that he believes men would still join his service despite the feature's existence, though, because "boys will be wherever girls are."
