China’s viral paid app “Are You Dead?” tops downloads and goes global, sparking conversations about loneliness and safety. The name “Are you Dead?” has fueled discussion on social media. In China, talking openly about death is considered bad luck. Yet the app taps into a real fear in China: dying unnoticed. Outside China, the app is marketed as ‘Demumu’ and has climbed the top paid charts in multiple countries such as the US, Singapore, Australia and Spain. With fewer family and community support systems, are apps becoming our new safety net?
