Raya: The Secret Dating App for Celebrities and Members of the Illuminati

Raya is basically Tinder for celebrities and creatives with huge followings. And if you’re wondering if YOU can get in?? No. You can’t sit with us.

I think we can officially call Raya the dating app of the Illuminati. As Bustle explains, “To join Raya, members have to satisfy a mysterious algorithm involving Instagram following, mutual connections with other Raya members, personal recommendations, and some kind of selection committee.”

The app has been around for about 2 years and the bar for entry seems to be clouded in mystery. Nylon wrote that users typically have a lot of Instagram followers, a “creative” occupations, and are hot. But even they were unsure. Raya has also taken extra steps to secure its user’s privacy. Again Bustle reported that, “Raya solves the privacy problem through careful curation, as well as its interface: Try to screenshot someone’s profile, and you’ll get an alert threatening to kick you off the network if the photo makes it online.”

A NY mag reporter described the elite group of potential matches she came across back in 2015, “During my three weeks on Raya, I saw pro skateboarders and Sports Illustrated swimsuit models, Dancing With the Stars professional dancers, a YouTube beauty guru, the designer of a streetwear brand popularized by Kanye West, a teen celebrity chef, and Moby.”
