Zoho Arattai: Chennai-based Zoho Corporation's homegrown messaging app, Arattai, is currently trending on social media. It's being considered India's answer to Meta's WhatsApp. The reason is its official app support for Android TV, a feature not yet available in any global messaging app.
First-ever messaging app on Android TV
Until now, none of WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, WeChat, Line, or KakaoTalk had official Android TV versions. Users had to resort to makeshift methods for messaging. But Arattai has provided a permanent solution to this problem. Its official Android TV app is available on the Google Play Store and can be easily installed.
Multi-Device Support Enhances Strength
Compared to WhatsApp, Arattai gains an edge by offering versatile support. It's available not only on smartphones but also on Linux, macOS, and Windows. This allows you to run a single account on multiple devices. With Android TV support, its usefulness has increased even further.
Arattai vs. WhatsApp
Meetings Feature: While WhatsApp's video calling capabilities are limited, Arattai has added a Google Meet and Zoom-like experience. Users can create, join, or schedule instant meetings within the app.
Pocket: Many people save information by sending messages to themselves on WhatsApp. Arattai has upgraded it to include a cloud storage feature called 'Pocket' where text, media, and links can be saved.
Mentions: Notifications can be difficult to find on WhatsApp, but Arattai has a Slack-like Mentions tab that shows which messages you've been tagged in.
No Ads Policy: Arattai has clarified that it will not use user data for advertising. WhatsApp has now started showing ads in the 'Updates' tab and also shares data with Meta.
Getting Rid of AI: AI features have been forcibly added to WhatsApp, and there's no option to disable them. Arattai, meanwhile, doesn't currently have any unwanted AI interface, offering a clean and simple user experience.
This Indian-made app is slowly gaining popularity as a 'WhatsApp killer.' Arattai not only offers a secure and ad-free experience, but its Android TV support and innovative features are giving it an edge over existing chat apps.
