المعنى
Informing someone to keep them updated.
خلفية ثقافية
In Turkish homes, hosts often use 'haberin olsun' to inform guests about available food or comfort. 'Mutfakta meyve var, haberin olsun' (There is fruit in the kitchen, just so you know) is a way of making the guest feel at home without being pushy. In traditional Turkish companies, a subordinate would rarely use 'haberin olsun' with a superior. They would use 'bilgilerinize sunarım.' However, a boss will frequently use 'haberin olsun' with an employee to give a quick instruction or update. On platforms like Twitter or WhatsApp, #haberinolsun is used to share viral news or 'life hacks.' It acts as a digital shout-out to followers. In close-knit neighborhoods, neighbors use this phrase to look out for each other. 'Kapının önünde yabancı biri var, haberin olsun' (There's a stranger in front of your door, just so you know) reflects the communal surveillance and care.
The 'Softener'
Use 'haberin olsun' to soften a request or a piece of bad news. It makes you sound more considerate.
Don't Overuse
If you say it after every sentence, you might sound a bit patronizing, as if you think the other person knows nothing!

Yes, but use the plural form 'Haberiniz olsun' unless you are very close friends.
'Haber' is news, 'Bilgi' is information. They are 95% interchangeable, but 'Bilgin olsun' is slightly more common in professional emails.
A simple 'Tamam, teşekkürler' (Okay, thanks) or 'Anladım' (I understood) is perfect.
