Raya is an application for iOS, founded by Daniel Gendelman. Originally a dating app, Raya has since added features to promote professional networking and social discovery.[1][2][3] Raya’s membership is largely restrictive, limited to celebrities, high-profile people, and internet personalities, through a long selection process or invitation.[citation needed]
Raya was created by Daniel Gendelman in 2014 and went live in February 2015.[2] Gendelman had the idea for the app while studying in Israel.[2] The app is available only on Apple devices.[2]
Users link their profile to their Instagram account, add personal information, including their background, profession, and interests, and must create a photo montage for their profile.[4]
If a user screenshots a profile within the app, Raya warns the user that they may be removed from the platform, and repeated screenshots lead to termination of the user’s account.[5]
