During an appearance on Brittany Broski’s YouTube series Royal Court, Harry Styles explained that he still has Raya on his phone. He said he has been using it while spending time in Rome, not to meet someone, but to help improve his Italian. The singer shared that he practices mostly by speaking with friends, along with spending a little time on the app to read and write in the language.
He described the app as another tool to see Italian used in everyday conversation. For him, it is about exposure and repetition, focusing on grammar and comprehension rather than dating.
Raya is widely known as a platform popular with creatives and public figures. Styles’ comments shift the narrative in a simple direction: language learning. The interview also touched briefly on his personal life, including past links to Zoë Kravitz, but he did not connect the app to any current relationship.
