Cheers Lets You Play Matchmaker with Friends
The latest addition to the dating app scene is Cheers, a newly launched matchmaking app available to users in New York City. Founded by former Instagram engineer Sahil Ahuja, Cheers sets itself apart by offering friend-matchmaking and social posting features to facilitate new connections.
Cheers (where almost everybody knows your name) puts a twist on the familiar mechanics of dating apps.
Users can swipe through profiles and engage in direct messaging, all while leveraging their existing friend network to play matchmaker, letting users swipe on behalf of their friends, share profiles, and ask for introductions, removing the awkwardness of meeting potential matches online.
