Couple, formerly Pair, was a
Facebook Messenger, and KakaoTalk, but it is unique in that it is for communicating with exactly one other person.[3] Couple is one of a slew of mobile applications that intentionally confine their communication to a small group, as opposed to large public or semi-public networks like Twitter.[1]
The app is no longer available on
Y Combinator startup incubator.[7]
On February 2, 2013, TenthBit announced that it had acquired rival U.K. app Cupple and changed the name of the merged app from Pair to Couple.[8]
On February 12, 2016, Couple was acquired by Life360.[9]
Since April 22, 2019, the app is defunct and the web interface returns Error 503.
