If you meet someone this often to touch your phones, why do you even need to have an app to talk to that person? The beauty of social apps is that I can talk to someone who I can’t physically meet that often

There was a checkbox about letting 23andme use your dna in research, I wonder if that will be forced to be respected by regeneron after a sale?
