Its full name is Tea Dating Advice, and the central idea is a women-only app that gives those who are dating the ability to access background checks on men. This includes whether they have a criminal record (or if they're sex offenders), as well as reverse image searching to identify catfishing (assuming a false identity online).

The data breach at Tea, the app that lets women post anonymous reviews of men, was bigger than initially reported and included private messages.

Tea Dating Advice allows women to vet their dates, using crowdsourced information and public records to evaluate men.
