Two new apps that can help you break up or patch up with your significant other have been developed in the US.
With the new apps, breaking up or making up is as simple as a text message - and you don't even have to write it yourself.
New Yorkers Jake Levine of Digg.Com and Lauren Leto of Texts from Last Night, launched the BreakupText and MakeupText apps to take the messiness out of some of relationships' most uncomfortable moments.
To break up, the user has to answer a few questions - boy or girl? serious or casual? - and the app churns out a text message detailing why the relationship is doomed, the 'New York Daily News' reported.
Levine and Leto launched MakeupText after admitting they "feel pretty bad about destroying thousands of relationships" after BreakupText launched two weeks ago.
However, the pair said the apps aren't meant to be taken seriously.
"We're not really encouraging people to break up with people via text. It's just a joke," Leto said.
