Arattai App: Arattai app comes to compete with WhatsApp, offers 5 amazing features..
Arattai App Launched in India: Indian tech company Zoho has launched a new messaging and calling app called Arattai, which is being touted as an Indian alternative to WhatsApp. It offers features like voice and video calling, group chats, channels, stories, and online meetings. Immediately after its launch, it overtook WhatsApp on the App Store to officially become the number one social networking app. The company claims that the app will run smoothly even on low-end devices and weak networks. Here, we'll outline its key features and how it differs from WhatsApp.
Specialities of the Arattai App
Users can engage in one-to-one chats, group chats, and media sharing. The app also offers the option to send voice notes, photos, videos, and documents. For calling, users can make voice or video calls directly from within the chat.
Advanced Features
Arattai isn't limited to just chatting; it offers features like group discussions, channels, stories, and meetings. Users can schedule online meetings, add co-hosts, and set time zones. The app can be used on desktops (Windows, macOS, Linux) and even Android TV.
Privacy and Security
The company claims that voice and video calls on Arattai are fully encrypted end-to-end. However, messaging encryption hasn't fully rolled out yet. Therefore, it's recommended to avoid sharing sensitive information. Installing the updated version will improve security and performance.
How to Download the Arattai App
Android users can install Arattai Messenger (Zoho Corporation) by searching for it on the Google Play Store. iPhone users can download it from the Apple App Store. Both Android and iOS versions can also be accessed by visiting the official website.
Account Setup and Contacts Import
After installation, users will need to verify their mobile number with an OTP. The app will then request access to contacts, camera, and microphone. The account will be activated by adding a profile name and photo. Arattai automatically syncs contacts, and invites can also be sent to non-users via SMS.
