A group of friends walk into a bar.
The bartender says, "Sorry, we only serve families."
Sigh, the bartender is probably not a fan of car racing movies. For some of us, friends are the family we choose.
We don't like racing with app bugs, though. So let's avoid bugs moving fast and furious on our app. Update your Grab app to 5.158 now for a smooth ride.

"I'm a loyal GrabFood customer."
"Okay, then name one popular delivery dish from GrabFood."
"Fried chicken."
"That's on me, I set the bar too low."
Yup, everyone seems to love fried chicken — whether it's Korean, Buttermilk, or Karaage, the love affair with this comfort food is real.
Celebrate International Fried Chicken Day this week by ordering some from GrabFood. But make sure the app bugs won't disturb your experience. Update your Grab app to 5.157 now, the cluck is ticking.

We're officially halfway through 2021. Welcome, July!
July was named in honour of Julius Caesar, the Roman general who helped make the calendar what it is today. He is also famous for helping poor Romans get a better life.
Interestingly, many countries celebrate their independence this month. July is all about freedom!
So why not free your Grab app from pesky bugs to welcome this month? Update to 5.156 now — we'll know if you don't and it hurts if July to us.

Stop using "Noted" as your reply.
Boss: Please fix the bugs today.
Engineer: Noted.
Oops, some of us have gotten used to this overused and non-committal response. But we know how committed our engineers are in improving the app. To them, "noted" really means they'll get it done, as always.
On that note, update your Grab app to version 5.153 now to enjoy a smoother experience.

Hari Raya Puasa is not just about enjoying ketupat and dressing up in new clothes. This is the time for our Muslim friends to seek forgiveness, apologising to family and friends for their mistakes so that everyone can forgive each other and have a better relationship.

Enjoy a smoother app experience when you update to 5.150 now, and don't forget to order GrabFood for a Hari Raya feastival!

Hari Raya Puasa begins when the Shawwal (the tenth month on the Islamic calendar) crescent moon appears in the sky. And it’s finally here after Ramadan, ending the month of fasting for our Muslim friends around the world.
It’s also time to end any relationship with app bugs as well since they affect your Grab app experience.
Start the day of joyous celebrations by updating your Grab app to version 5.149 now. Happy Eid Mubarak to our Muslim friends!

You’re probably wondering why we’ve gathered you all here today. No, it’s not because we all share the same names. Unless your name is also Grab?
We gathered you together because the newest version of the Grab app is here. Let's compete with the app bugs for the right to use a smoother app.
Alright, enough joshing around. Update your Grab app to version 5.147 now.

Last week, the Muslim community welcomed Ramadan. They started fasting from dawn to dusk and are supposed to refrain from negative thoughts, emotions, behaviour, or other distractions for a month.
Speaking of distractions, app bugs can distract you from enjoying a smooth experience while using the Grab app. So dawn forget to remove these negative creatures from your app. Update Grab to version 5.146 now.

Smelly bug, smelly bug,
What are they feeding you?
Smelly bug, smelly bug,
It's all your fault
We won't let you take our app
You're obviously not our favourite pet...
Excuse us, we got a little carried away because one of our favourite TV series is finally having that reunion special!
Let's circle back to those app bugs — don't let them have reunions on your Grab app!

Did you know that a bee's wings beat 190 times a second? That's 11,400 times a minute! Impressive, isn't it?
But don't think all bugs are impressive. The only thing app bugs do is interfere with our experience. That's why our engineers beat them all the time.
Update to 5.144 now to get the bee-tter version of Grab app.

There are many ways to float someone's boat. But the giant ship wedged across Suez Canal isn't one. It blocks one of the world's busiest trade route and delays shipments. Not cool at all!
