The app is meant to provide women an anonymous space to find information about the men they are interested in speaking with through dating apps. The app uses reverse image searches to catch fake profiles, phone number lookups to check for secret relationships, and background checks to look for possible criminal records.

Its full name is Tea Dating Advice, and the central idea is a women-only app that gives those who are dating the ability to access background checks on men. This includes whether they have a criminal record (or if they're sex offenders), as well as reverse image searching to identify catfishing (assuming a false identity online).

Viral dating advice app Tea experienced a data breach on Friday. It's been at the top of the US Apple App Store this week.

Tea, an app where women can swap information about men, went viral this week, riding a flood of attention on social media. It soon rocketed to the No. 1 slot in the Apple App Store’s lifestyle category, and then, promptly, the app was hacked.
