Sarahah has taken over social media. Every user of Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Snapchat are talking about this new app that allows users to send anonymous messages to others registered with the app.

Introduced by a Saudi Arabian developer Zain al-Abidin Tawfiq, the app doesn’t reveal the identity of the sender of the message at any given cost but users can choose to tag their identity. The idea behind the app is pretty simple. It allows anyone who has created a profile to visit other such profiles and leave messages anonymously. The messages will then appear in the inbox of the receiver’s app where the users can reply back to the messages, flag the message, favorite them or delete them. The app is available in two languages, English and Arabic for both iOs and Android users.

Sarahah, which was launched in June, has gone viral and was on top of the Apple App Store in over 30 countries in the month of July. It is also said to have as many as 300 million users already. According to their description on the Google Play Store, it helps people self develop by receiving constructive anonymous feedback. Sarahah, which means honesty in Arabic, was initially launched as a website with the idea to allow people send creative messages to each other including strangers who are on the app and those who are not.

An account can be set up by simply putting in a user name, their name, email id and by entering a password. Once logged in, users can share their Sarahah link which is usually their name followed by sarahah.com (www.xyz.sarahah.com) on any social media platform. The whole concept behind the app center’s around the idea of sending constructive random anonymous messages to the users. But the app also received flak for offering a platform that increases the risk of cyber bullying and negative comments as the app is extremely popular with the teenage crowd. The app’s most popular feature, anonymity gives people the chance to act out and behave in a hurtful way by sending unsavory and offensive messages to people instead of “constructive feedback.”

Several similar messaging apps like Yik Yak, Secret and Whisper that offer anonymity to the users have also been launched in recent times. Although the app is trending right now, fully anonymous comments open up avenues for bullying and the ability to cause more harm than good.

Google’s Iconic ‘G’ Logo Gets First Update in 10 Years

Published

on

Google has refreshed its iconic ‘G’ logo for the first time in nearly 10 years, replacing the familiar solid blocks of red, yellow, green, and blue with a smooth, vibrant gradient that blends these colors seamlessly. This subtle update gives the logo a softer, more fluid, and modern appearance, aligning with Google’s evolving digital identity and current design trends.

The new gradient transitions smoothly from red to yellow, yellow to green, and green to blue, making the logo more visually appealing and adaptable across various devices, especially on mobile platforms. This redesign also reflects Google’s growing emphasis on artificial intelligence, echoing the gradient style used in the branding of Google Gemini, the company’s AI-generative assistant.

The updated ‘G’ logo has started rolling out on iOS through the Google Search app and on some Android devices, particularly Pixel phones running the Google app beta version 16.18. However, most other platforms, including the web and non-Pixel Android devices, still display the classic solid-color logo. A wider rollout is expected in the coming weeks.

So far, Google’s main wordmark and other product logos like Chrome, Maps, and Gmail remain unchanged. Given the shift toward gradient designs and AI-inspired visuals, similar updates to other Google icons may follow in the future.

In summary, this first major update to the ‘G’ logo since 2015 signals a subtle but meaningful shift in Google’s branding strategy, blending tradition with innovation as the company deepens its focus on AI and modern design aesthetics.

ixigo’s decision aligns with similar actions by other Indian travel companies, including EaseMyTrip and Cox & Kings, which have also restricted travel services to Turkey, China, and Azerbaijan. The suspensions come amid widespread calls for boycotts after these countries condemned India’s military response and backed Pakistan.
