Couple (app)

Couple, formerly Pair, was a mobile app that provided a mobile messaging service for two people,[1] especially romantic couples.[2] Like many mobile phone messaging applications, Couple allows users to share text, photos, video and other content. It is a competitor to apps like WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and KakaoTalk, but it is unique in that it is for communicating with exactly one other person.[3] Couple is one of a slew of mobile applications that intentionally confine their communication to a small group, as opposed to large public or semi-public networks like Twitter.[1]

The app is no longer available on iPhone and Android.[4][5] The free application garnered more than 100,000 users after only a week.[1] TenthBit, the company producing Couple,[6] is part of the Y Combinator startup incubator.[7]

On February 2, 2013, TenthBit announced that it had acquired rival U.K. app Cupple and changed the name of the merged app from Pair to Couple.[8]

On February 12, 2016, Couple was acquired by Life360.[9]

Since April 22, 2019, the app is defunct and the web interface returns Error 503.
