What happened to the Intel Feed in Tea Dating Advice?
Recent reviews strongly suggest that a major update removed or changed the Intel Feed, old intel posts, and the old way users searched or warned others about specific men. Reviewers who liked the earlier version describe this as removing the main reason they used Tea Dating Advice, while one positive reviewer says the updated version has more information and better categorization.
Tea completely removed the Intel Feed, which was arguably the most unique and important feature of the entire app. That feed was what made Tea different and gave people a reason to use it in the first place. Now the app feels like it's been turned into some combination of Facebook and Reddit, with communities and a more generic social-media format. We already have apps for that. Why remove the Intel Feed instead of improving it? Taking away the feature that defined Tea completely changes what
new update ruined it. all old intel posts are wiped, no more intel tab. you know, the point of the app that lets you warn about local abusers etc. whatever. im sure i alongside many others will uninstall soon if no fix.
Makes the world feel a little more safe as a girl. The updated version is a much better version, has lots more info and ways to categorize that info!

Is Tea Dating Advice still useful for women’s dating safety?
Reviews are mixed. Supporters say Tea Dating Advice helps women compare experiences, get warnings, check whether someone has other partners, and feel safer before dating. Critics, especially after the update, say the app became less useful if it no longer lets them post or search the kind of local intel they expected.
honestly when you look at it from the perspective of potential helping out other girls and yourself, it's genuinely a good app. I've already commented and have received comments every now and then from people that I've posted so its really nice to get some fresh opinions, especially if you're unsure or feel unsafe about a certain person.
My friend wanted to check-up on her boyfriend and he had a post about him, having several different girlfriends , so she text that account, got the Instagram and found photos of him with them. her Ex now thank you, tea app
This app used to be good but unfortunately they changed the entire thing. They removed all old posts of the terrible men we all posted to warn others about, which was the entire point of the app. Now it's basically just an all women twitter or something, to just talk and chill.

Why can’t I get verified or sign up for Tea Dating Advice?
Verification is one of the clearest pain points in the reviews. Users report failed selfie checks, failed ID checks, video verification problems, denied applications, login barriers, and not being able to create an account. Some reviewers also object to uploading ID at all.
can't even use the app. Won't let me past the verification selfie & I will not be uploading my ID.
hi! so, context - i am intersex and while my chosen name is vincent, i still use she/her pronouns and am considered a cisgender woman with a beard. anyways, sign up process is completely broken. the AI they use is trained to be sexist. if u dont Look "woman enough" u cant even join. ID verify doesnt work. it might be better if they let u submit ur ID instead of scan. if ur matching ur id then whatever, ykno?men should get better at being ppl tho, fr. be a better boyfriend or shut up. yall whiny.
The video verification is garbage!I tried it a million times and it doesn't work

Is Tea Dating Advice a scam or risky with personal information?
Some reviewers explicitly call Tea Dating Advice a scam or say the onboarding process felt like it was collecting too much personal information. Other reviewers describe the app as helpful and legitimate for women’s safety. Based on the reviews alone, the safest conclusion is that prospective users should expect identity-style verification concerns and decide whether they are comfortable before submitting sensitive information.
Do not use, its a scam tea checker doesn't actually have an app only a website, this is a huge scam
This is an app only for women. why is it every ad for it has guys, and guys talking about it? Why do you have to provide all kinds of private Information like ID/DL photos, ss card number, etc. its a straight up scam, and anybody signing up for it needs to lock their credit card up.
on boarding process kept declining my ID and selfie like they were just trying to collect my personal information off my ID

Is Tea Dating Advice free, or do you have to pay for searches?
The Play Store listing says Tea Dating Advice is free to download, but reviews complain that important tools or searches are now limited or behind paid access. Reviewers mention a search cap, subscription fees, and having to pay for tools that they say used to be free.
Gave it 5 stars to help but only having 5 searches maximum, when the results may not pull up properly everytime due to other app glitches? That won't do. I'll give it 5 stars when it doesn't put women's safety and access to info behind a paywall. Consider an ad system. I would much rather view a few ads than be required to pay. Thanks
you have to pay 15 dollars a month to access the tools that used to be free - the tools that defined the entire need for this app on the first place. now it's just another social media app for free but any amount of looking for Intel on a specific person or phone number comes with a huge price attached. any posts before the update today got completely erased so all theen that got reported for dangerous behavior are now unsearachable. This app is pointless and dead now, don't even bother.
basically charges $$$ to tell you what you can already find on Google

Does Tea Dating Advice search and location filtering work well?
Search and location filtering get repeated complaints. Some users say searching lags, location filters return results from other states, searches are ineffective, or glitches make limited searches feel wasted. A positive review says users can see local and non-local data, but the critical reviews suggest search quality may be inconsistent.
The search intel when you filter it to a location doesn't work. I'm getting Intel from different states then what I'm searching
Don't like the new update! The layout is not as user friendly as it once was. Searches are ineffective.
lags a little while searching but a truly necessary app for all women

Can Tea Dating Advice posts about men cause privacy or defamation problems?
Yes, the reviews include both sides of that concern. Some women say posts helped them discover cheating or warnings; other reviewers say posts can include private photos, false information, harassment, or unfair reputational damage. The reviews do not prove which specific claims are true, but they show that privacy, copyright, and defamation worries are real objections users raise about Tea Dating Advice.
A post was made about me on the app and website both containing copyrighted, private photos and comments were then posted containing blatant false information and defamation, all of which has lead to me becoming a victim of harassment and cyberstalking. Several takedown requests have been made to the platform including a DMCA takedown request, all of which were ignored. Legal action is now being taken.

Why is Tea Dating Advice stuck, freezing, or asking for an update?
Several reviews describe technical blockers separate from verification: frozen onboarding, an endless update loop, failed Google login, random errors, and being unable to access an account after updating. These reports suggest that some users may not be able to use the app at all until the bugs are fixed.
I can't get passed the part where they show you where everything is and what it does! it just freezes! this was a waist of time!!
I just downloaded the app. Upon opening, it just says "you must update to the newest version to continue using the app" and directs me back to google play store in an endless loop.
I thought the update would fix my issue but it didn't. The app logged me out and will not let me log back in using my Google account. It will let me move forward with using FB to make a new account but does nothing when I click my Gmail. It just freezes and wont move forward to log me back in. ETA: still waiting for this damn app to log me in 10 months later after several updates!!!

Is Tea Dating Advice only for women?
The app description says Tea Dating Advice is built around an anonymous community of verified women, and reviewers also describe it as women-only or women vetting men. Reviews show that this model is part of why some users trust it, but also part of why verification and inclusion concerns appear in complaints.
I like that onky women can be accepted in this app and I feel like there are more honest comments versus the facebook
New version works!! A couple of years ago I couldn't get it to work. Women vetting men for safety.
This is an app only for women. why is it every ad for it has guys, and guys talking about it? Why do you have to provide all kinds of private Information like ID/DL photos, ss card number, etc. its a straight up scam, and anybody signing up for it needs to lock their credit card up.

Can you check whether you are on Tea Dating Advice?
A reviewer directly asks whether they are on Tea Dating Advice, and other reviews say the older app let users search for a specific person. However, recent reviews complain that after the update, specific-person searching or intel lookup is no longer available in the same way or is paid. The reviews do not provide a reliable public method for someone to check whether they are listed.
just a question to ask am I on this app? and how can I check if I am?, I've never been able to get a girlfriend and I've tried everything including just being myself and nothing is working so I'm resorting to asking you ladies if a male around 18-20 named Messiah laquan smith Robinson, is on this app...I'm not going to try to break in or fake my identity or anything of that sort I'm just asking if I'm on tea. I'm genuinely scared rn because I might never get a girlfriend honestly
the new update is annoying. you used to be able to do specific things you want to do like seeing if a certain person was on there and now you can't. sadly I'm deleting it now
