Launched as part of a collaboration with the anti-sexual assault organization It's On Us, a big part of the motivation behind the launch of the Klique app had to do with using ubiquitous app and smartphone technologies to help college students safely meet new people in order to enrich their social or dating lives without getting into trouble. The app does this by using a clique system to encourage users to go out and return back together with their 'Klique'. This app embraces the concept of safety in numbers to help students enjoy extra peace of mind while broadening their social circles. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 20% | Activity: 43% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Safety-focused Social Apps:** Innovative apps are being developed to prioritize the safety of users and help them expand their social circles. - **Clique-based Networking:** The Klique app uses a clique system to encourage users to connect with new people as a group, a concept that could be applied to other industries. - **Collaborations with Social Causes:** Partnerships between technology companies and social organizations are creating new opportunities to promote safety and inclusivity in social spaces. ### Who This Affects Most - **Dating Apps:** Safety-focused dating apps could gain a competitive edge by prioritizing the safety and well-being of their users. - **Campus Safety:** Colleges and universities could use the concept of clique-based networking to develop safety measures that encourage students to travel in groups. - **Social Networking:** Social media platforms could benefit from partnerships with anti-bullying and anti-harassment organizations to create a safer online environment for users. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Customizable Friendship-Forging Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iradius-networking-app.md) - [Calendar-Coordinating Social Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clyx-app.md) - [In-Person Connection Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/connection-app.md) - [Peer Support Wellness Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peer-support-app.md) - [Matchmaking Dating Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheers-dating-app.md) - [Safe Stranger Chat Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whisperly-app.md) - [Child-Safe Social Media Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/childsafe-social-media-app.md) - [Location-Based Social App Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snapchat-home-safe.md) - [AI-Powered Socialization Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bu-app.md)
