Sarahah App. What is it all about?



About Sarahah- Sarahah helps you in discovering your strengths and areas for improvement by receiving honest feedback from your employees and your friends in a private manner.

Google Play store reports, " Sarahah helps people self-develop by receiving constructive anonymous feedback." Sarahah means honesty in Arabic which this app fosters to give but anonymously.

Developed by ZainAlabdin Tawfiq, the app has become viral and is topping charts on one of the most downloaded apps in recent weeks both at Apple App store and Google Play store.

But there is a shortcoming condemning of hateful texts and cyber bullying which this app is facing now.

Top 5 things you should know about Sarahah

1 Leaving Feedback - You can leave constructive feedback for others. Share your Sarahah account link with your friends to get anonymous message. While in App, you can read comments from a particular person, option is given default. But one has to have Sarahah account.You can look for people by searching in the app and if you don't want to be discoverable, hide your name.

2 Can't follow- But that's not the end. The logs maintain comments received, sent and favourited. As of now, you can't reply to messages but this option is under consideration by the website makers.

3 Will it show identity to users- No but with your permission Yes it will. You have to choose.

4 Doesn't hack- The data is protected under website's privacy policy.

5 Can visitors view my messages- No. As long as you don't share it on your own.

The anonymity factor can give more power to trollers and cyber bullies who can misuse the app feature for their own benefit. Feedbacks not suited to you can quickly spiral out of control and can cause damage to your mental health. Nobody wishes to receive derogatory inputs from any stranger out there who know very less about some one.
