7 things about the Sarahah fire, and why you should care

So this new app, Sarahah, is making all the waves on social media. Are you wondering what this newest fad that teenage things are crazy about for the next few months before they maybe abandon it like they did to 2go ?

Well, fear not!! TRJ is here to save you!!

1. What is it?

This is obviously not mine

It's a social app that lets you send and receive anonymous messages to tell people what you really think about them, or ask them terrible terrible questions.



2. Anyone can leave feedback. Absolutely anyone!!

Did you know Sarahah means 'honesty' in Arabic?

Once they have your link they can go and drop a message for you. The messages can end up giving you a warm fuzzy feeling inside, or end up destroying what little happiness you have in that small heart. So be careful with your link. You know the internet is savage these days.



3. You can't reply to messages on the app

Though you can do what the hipster young ones are doing, and take a screenshot and answer it on social media.



4. It's really not the first app of it's kind.

So why did Sarahah get so popular then?

There have been many platforms just like this eg Secret, Whisper, Yik Ya and many others that have existed over the years



5. It's still not finished.

Many features are yet to be implemented, like the "Explore" tab. So you're sure to see new things.



6. It's extremely popular, and growing viral!

Pretty soon you'll see your WhatsApp and SnapChat screens with Sarahah screenshots everywhere. It has 300 million users, in  more than 30 countries already!!



7. Things can really get out of control

If you know you don't take criticism very well, this is probably not an app for you. Some people have used it to bully others, so be careful who you send your link to. There's really no way of knowing for sure who sent you what message. You have been warned.



Why should you care about any of this? Well, like any other normal functioning member of 21st century society, you have been following trends and challenges left and right - so we thought it wouldn't be fair if we left you out of this one too. Yes. You are welcome.
