Arattai: This indigenous Arattai messaging app is the 'father' of all! It offers more features than WhatsApp..

Zoho Corporation has launched a free messaging and calling app called Arattai, specifically designed for India. In India, where WhatsApp is quite popular, this new app is being considered an Indian alternative to WhatsApp. It offers features like voice and video calls, media sharing, group chats, channels, stories, and online meetings. Arattai's biggest strength is its smooth operation even on weak networks and low-end smartphones. This makes it useful for all types of users. Some people are wondering how to download it on their phones.

How to download on Android…
Open the Google Play Store and search for Arattai Messenger (Zoho Corporation).
Tap Install.
Or go directly to the Play Store link from Arattai's official website.
Be careful not to download from a third-party APK.

How to download on iPhone…
Open the App Store and search for Arattai Messenger.

Confirm Zoho Corporation as the developer.

Install by tapping the Get button.

After installing, open the app, enter your country and phone number, and verify with an OTP. Then, grant permissions for contacts, microphone, camera, and notifications. Finally, set a profile name and photo so that people can easily recognize you.

Arattai automatically matches your phonebook contacts and shows who is using it. If a contact isn't on the app, you can invite them via SMS. You can then chat 1-on-1, group chat, or share media. The app also offers a calling option directly within the chat.

Secret Discussion Feature
Arattai offers more than just chatting. It offers groups for discussions, channels for broadcasting updates, and stories for sharing updates.

The Meetings feature lets you schedule online sessions. This app is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It can also be downloaded on Android TV under the name 'Arattai - Secure Communication'.

Regarding privacy, Arattai secures calls with end-to-end encryption. However, full encryption of chat messages is still being rolled out gradually. Until this feature is fully implemented, it's best to avoid sharing sensitive information via text.

If you don't receive an OTP, check the number, resend, or use voice verification. If you experience issues with notifications and calls, ensure the app has the correct permissions and battery settings. Also, keep the app updated to receive new features and security updates.
