But Saro is more than just a feed. It also gives you a real way to do something when you see something wrong online.

Scroll, React, Follow
Open the app and see what your community is sharing; short videos, updates, everyday moments. React the way you actually feel, with Like, Love, Care, Celebrate, Insightful, Funny, or Sad. Leave a comment, follow a channel, and keep up with the channel you follow.

See Something Wrong? Say Something
We've all scrolled past hate speech, harassment, misinformation, or a scam post and just kept going, because reporting it felt like shouting into the void. Saro fixes that. If you spot something harmful; on Saro or anywhere else online; just paste the link, tell us what's going on, and send it. You can keep it anonymous if you'd rather not put your name on it.

Watch It Actually Go Somewhere
Once you report something, you're not left wondering. You'll see it move from Gathering Reports, to High Volume Reached, all the way to an outcome; Content Removed, Account Deactivated, or Platform Dismissed. You'll get a notification the moment anything changes.

You're Not the Only One Who Noticed
Chances are, if something's bad enough to report, someone else has already flagged it too. Saro's Community Action Board shows you what's already been reported, so you can back it up with one tap; "I Reported This"; instead of starting over. The more voices behind a report, the harder it is to ignore.

Why people use Saro
A social feed that feels like your community, not an algorithm. A reporting flow that actually takes a few minutes, not forever. The option to speak up without putting your name on it. Real updates on what happened after you reported something. And all of it, fully in English or Amharic.

Saro is where your community lives online; and where you can help keep it a little safer, one post, one reaction, one report at a time. ## Rankings - #2,100,334 — Overall ## Permissions and access ### Permissions - `android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE` - `android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE` - `android.permission.CAMERA` - `android.permission.INTERNET` - `android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS` - `android.permission.READ_APP_BADGE` - `android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED` - `android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO` - `android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW` - `android.permission.USE_BIOMETRIC` - `android.permission.USE_FINGERPRINT` - `android.permission.VIBRATE` - `android.permission.WAKE_LOCK` - `com.anddoes.launcher.permission.UPDATE_COUNT` - `com.android.vending.CHECK_LICENSE` - `com.benasoft.saro.DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION` - `com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE` - `com.google.android.finsky.permission.BIND_GET_INSTALL_REFERRER_SERVICE` - `com.htc.launcher.permission.READ_SETTINGS` - `com.htc.launcher.permission.UPDATE_SHORTCUT` - `com.huawei.android.launcher.permission.CHANGE_BADGE` - `com.huawei.android.launcher.permission.READ_SETTINGS` - `com.huawei.android.launcher.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS` - `com.majeur.launcher.permission.UPDATE_BADGE` - `com.oppo.launcher.permission.READ_SETTINGS` - `com.oppo.launcher.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS` - `com.sec.android.provider.badge.permission.READ` - `com.sec.android.provider.badge.permission.WRITE` - `com.sonyericsson.home.permission.BROADCAST_BADGE` - `com.sonymobile.home.permission.PROVIDER_INSERT_BADGE` - `me.everything.badger.permission.BADGE_COUNT_READ` - `me.everything.badger.permission.BADGE_COUNT_WRITE` ## Similar extensions and apps - [saran.](https://chrome-stats.com/d/io.saran.app) — 90 users - [Siara](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.siara.app) — 3 users - [Sara App](https://chrome-stats.com/d/net.saraapp) — 11,350 users - [Semanasi](https://chrome-stats.com/d/org.pwaniteknowgalz.mobipeace.semanasi) — 16 users - [Saraha Mobile](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.sarahamobile.inbox.relay) — 404 users - [saran.](https://chrome-stats.com/d/io.saran.social) — 137 users - [Digital Sarokar](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.digitalsarokar.digitalsarokar) — 488 users - [Sydro](https://chrome-stats.com/d/technology.infratech.sydro) — 482,562 users, 4.00 / 5 - [Saraha - صراحة](https://chrome-stats.com/d/app.saraha.sh) — 22,412 users - [SalamApp: Connect & Chat](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.salamgram.salamgram) — 130,689 users - [SARIS Mobile](https://chrome-stats.com/d/paneotech.sarisso.twa) — 70 users - [Saymora - Social Media App](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.saymora.socialapp) — 1 users --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.benasoft.saro)
