About

BLINDSPOT was an Israeli-developed anonymous messaging app that allowed users to send messages, photos, and videos to their contacts without the receiver being able to trace the sender. Launched in December 2015, the app gained over two million downloads but also faced controversy due to accusations of facilitating cyberbullying. The company behind Blindspot was Shellanoo Group. In September 2016, Blindspot was acquired by a Chinese consortium for $28 million.
