It may hang its hat on its exclusivity, but that hasn’t stopped The Inner Circle from becoming one of the fastest growing dating apps in New York City.

Just a month after making its debut in the Big Apple, the Amsterdam-based dating service has doubled its user base, suggesting that it will soon be expanding its presence to other cities in the U.S. The app claims to be different from other players in the already saturated space by ensuring that its users are generally like-minded people (94 percent have a Bachelor’s degree or higher), and that they have similar relationship goals.

Users are encouraged to find their next dates by first selecting their favorite restaurant, bar, or local hangout, to establish some sense of common ground. From there, Inner Circle members can “share a unique date idea” or meet at a mutual favorite haunt. Moreover, The Inner Circle claims to be “the only dating app that hosts monthly members-only parties at luxurious venues around the world to help their members connect offline.”

Previously active only in Europe in cities like London, Paris, Barcelona, Berlin, Milan, Stockholm, and Zurich, the New York City contingency of The Inner Circle now boasts more than 23,000 registered members, a figure which the app claims is “growing exponentially each day.”

“As New York City is the gateway to our imminent international presence, our growth in this market is essential. This is an exciting milestone to have crossed in such a short time frame,” said CEO and co-founder David Vermeulen. “We’re thrilled to see how much the diverse and vibrant community of New York City singles has embraced The Inner Circle as their go-to dating app.”

So if you haven’t yet, you might consider checking out The Inner Circle for its new features like Spots, which gives users the opportunity to see the top ten spots to go on a first date or the most popular bars, clubs and restaurants; Travel, which lets users share their travel plans and popular member destinations; and Weekend List, a crowdsourced list of the most popular events in town every weekend (where you just might meet that special someone).

If you have one of these apps on your Android phone, delete it immediately

The NSO Group raised security alarms this week, and once again, it’s the devastatingly powerful Pegasus malware that was deployed in Jordan to spy on journalists and activists. While that’s a high-profile case that entailed Apple filing a lawsuit against NSO Group, there’s a whole world of seemingly innocuous Android apps that are harvesting sensitive data from an average person’s phone.
The security experts at ESET have spotted at least 12 Android apps, most of which are disguised as chat apps, that actually plant a Trojan on the phone and then steal details such as call logs and messages, remotely gain control of the camera, and even extract chat details from end-to-end encrypted platforms such as WhatsApp.
The apps in question are YohooTalk, TikTalk, Privee Talk, MeetMe, Nidus, GlowChat, Let’s Chat, Quick Chat, Rafaqat, Chit Chat, Hello Chat, and Wave Chat. Needless to say, if you have any of these apps installed on your devices, delete them immediately.
Notably, six of these apps were available on the Google Play Store, raising the risk stakes as users flock here, putting their faith in the security protocols put in place by Google. A remote access trojan (RAT) named Vajra Spy is at the center of these app's espionage activities.

One of Apple’s recent focuses on iOS and watchOS is mental health and wellness. In the most recent watchOS 10 and iOS 17 updates, Apple added Mindfulness capture, which lets you log your mood for the day or how you feel at a particular moment. Similarly, it also launched a new Journal app.

Though Apple announced the Journal app in June’s WWDC23 keynote, Journal was absent from the initial iOS 17 release. With iOS 17.2, Apple finally released Journal to the public as another tool for better mental health and wellbeing.
