Raya is a membership-based social networking app widely used among the elite and wealthy due to its privacy features. Available only for iOS, the app was launched in 2015 and has slowly grown into a promotional networking platform along with dating. The app’s lack of popularity makes it a preferable private space for high-profile celebrities and the wealthy. Moreover, Dolan also shared his experience on Raya, an app that demands multiple referrals from existing members for approval.
