Apple Removes App Used to Arrange Secret Parties

Apple removed on Wednesday an American app that promoted private parties during the Covid-19 pandemic.The app named ''Vybe Together ''calls itself a private community to find, join and host parties.

Vybe Together billed itself on TikTok and its website as a place to organize and attend underground parties, using the tagline “Get your rebel on. Get your party on.” Organizers would have to approve everyone who wanted to attend, and those who got approved would receive the address two hours before the event.

Meanwhile, most of these gatherings would have been illegal under current US pandemic restrictions — which may explain why the app required you to submit a profile for approval before you were allowed on.

On other hand, TikTok reported that the account was removed for violating its community guidelines. The account had only 139 followers and three videos. In contrast, Vybe Together has not responded to a request for comment.

Moreover, the Vybe Together added; “We are aware that Covid is a major health problem, having large scale parties is very dangerous. That is why we don’t support that''. “But Vybe is a compromise, no big parties but small gatherings. We could be living, at least a little during these times with Vybe”, according to BBC report.
