Chinese app "Are you dead?" taps into fears of dying alone

A new Chinese app, "Are You Dead?", has gone viral, allowing users to check in daily to alert contacts if they fail to do so. The app addresses growing anxieties in China about social isolation and dying alone, particularly among single individuals in large cities with declining marriage and birth rates. The app's name has sparked controversy, leading to potential rebranding, and it has been removed from the Apple App Store amidst unclear censorship reasons.
