Sarahah app: what can she do? Easily explained
The "Sarahah" app is becoming increasingly popular, but what can it do? We explain what the app is intended for and what functions it offers.
What to do with the Sarahah app?
For some time now, Sarahah has been free to download for iOS and Android. Some of the functions are also available on the computer.
- The first time you start Sarahah, you will be asked to register and give yourself any username. You can then use the app.
- With Sarahah you can send messages anonymously to other users. Once you know someone's username, you can write them whatever you want. The person concerned receives the message, but cannot see who the sender is.
- According to the description in the AppStore, the application should help you to find your own strengths and weaknesses in order to optimize them.
- The creators of the app rely on the fact that users only send "constructive feedback". So they should then be able to improve in the points mentioned.
- You can favor your received messages so that you can find them again quickly. It is also possible to share messages via social media.
- You can also use your browser to write messages to people whose username you know. This works via the link "username.sarahah.com".

What are the dangers of Sarahah?
However, some people are extremely critical of applications like Sarahah.
- This is because anonymity can easily be used to send insults, hate messages or bullies.
- The app could pose a risk potential, especially among teenagers. The services "ask.fm" and "tellonym" already had this experience.
- Recently there is also the possibility to block individual senders.
- Above all, the anonymity that the app offers raises concerns about bullying. Various media, such as the BBC and users in social networks, are already warning of the Sarahah app, which is why it is also known as the "bullying" app.
