This would allow you to not be seen by people near your home (neighbors) or coworkers. But even more importantly, for people like me who work in education, we wouldn’t have to worry about our students finding us if we forget to swipe the app closed before heading to work or something. Our students wouldn’t be able to find us by opening the app with a fake account they’ve created (not that hard to fake their age) and all the sudden there we are connected in a very inappropriate way because of our close proximity in that moment. I’m sure education is not the only problematic profession for this; doctors, therapist, judges, there’s gays in all professions even when those professions make it less than welcoming for us. It would help to have some privacy protections like being invisible to people in certain geographic locations.
