New “Cloak” App Tells You Where People You Know Are So That You Can Avoid Them


Gadget Gesture — Social media’s great role is to bring people together so that everyone can be one big happy family. Fortunately, not everyone thinks that way. There are many apps that tell you where your friends are to get to meet them faster if you’re out on a Friday night and you want to hang out. But what if you’re out on a Friday night and you don’t want to see your ex boyfriend or your boss? Then you must get the new Cloak app for iPhone that will help you avoid human contact by telling you where they are. How does the new Cloak app work? It’s very simple. By gathering the geographic info provided by the Instagram and Foursquare accounts of your friends and determining if anyone is anywhere near you. The pictures of the people who are in your area are displayed on a map that is relative to where you’re located. If there are people you definitely want to avoid, just tap on their photo and “flag” them so that they won’t see where you are.
