What Happened to Sarahah?

The short story

I created Sarahah in 2016 as a way for people to receive honest feedback. It grew far beyond what I expected, reaching hundreds of millions of people before the original messaging service was discontinued.

What Sarahah is now

Sarahah is now a place for quick practical quizzes that help you find what fits you: a phone, a hobby, coffee, dinner, and more. You can take every quiz without an account and save the matches you want to a personal profile.

Old accounts and messages

The old messaging accounts and messages are not part of this version of Sarahah and cannot be recovered. New accounts are only for saving quiz matches and managing a profile.

Built by Zain Alabdin Tawfiq, the founder of Sarahah.
