Sarahah App: Things You Should Know Before You Start Using It

Its Sarahah and Sarahah all over the social platform place in the recent past. Starting from Facebook to twitter and WhatsApp to YouTube, Sarahah has become the talking and rallying topic. So what is this “Wonder” app all about? And what is the fact behind its ever-growing popularity? Let’s have a look.

“Sarahah” is a brand new name for all of us, but report says- it’s a few months old app used in Saudi Arabia and Egypt. Commonly known for its anonymous messaging, Sarahah comes up with the theme of self- development with constructive anonymous feedback. However, it is more into messaging than social media. And the most exciting act is to find out the stranger from whom you got a message.

How it works?

Leading the anonymity trend, Sarahah is available free for Android and iOS. After installing to your local device, you have to create a Sarahah profile. Now you are all set to visit other profiles and message them in stealth, retaining your anonymity.

However it’s an open platform to visit any profile without logging in. Furthermore, other users are free to visit your profile and leave a message anonymously. Whatever may be the login status, the message will be anonymous by default- what the app claims. However, here is an option to tag your identity, but it’s all up to you. On the other hand, the receiver gets all incoming message at the app inbox. In addition, here are options to flag, delete or reply a message, mark a message as favourite and all.

App privacy

Privacy is a vital factor, when we are talking of social forum and should be fully secured. Though Sarahah is not the foremost in anonymity row, still when it comes to secrecy, it’s above all. However, several unverified and unauthentic claims in the media say the key to Sarahah’s secret lock is not that smart to break. Its lock combinations are easy to decrypt to reveal the senders’ identity.

For greater user experience, app developers are still at workshop trying to improve all the existing features. Some of the available features are-

Sarahah lets you remove your profile from the search result.

You can limit your audience with whom you share your profile.

You can turn off accessibility of unauthorized users (users without logged in).

You can block a sender.

App review

As per Google play store star ratings- Sarahah has 10,305 5-stars and 9,652 1-stars ratings. So basically it’s a 50–50 situation. Despite of positive reviews, app store warns that- “Sarahah is not for weak hearted” and people are getting hateful comments through it. However, Sarahah is a novel player in app podium and still needs time to blossom-spreading out all its essence. Hope to see it with all its singular feature implementations.
