I was frustrated because of ads and algorithms..i downloaded Arattai it's such a good mix of whatsapp and google meet.I made my office members download
Part 2 jaldi upload kar dena sir 😊
We, Indians collectively dethrone WhatsApp and teach a permanent lesson to America once and for all.
Zoho needs to use patriotic angle plus seamless local language usage plus data security as the 3 pillars – something WhatsApp cannot match. They also need to build a service for school children usage that is safe and reliable. Habits get cultivated at a young age. And India’s millions of students is a giant market.
Assessli sounds good
WhatsApp ❌❌❌❌
ARATTAI ✅✅✅✅✅✅
Also share the list of company who get funding every week in description 😅😅😅😅😅
It's just all hype and just copied version of everything. Arattai is copied version of whatsapp and all the other platform that i have tried is just copied version of google. Of It's copied then why i will use copied version of anything i will use the original. 🤷
Imagine India bans WhatsApp. This forces everyone to use Arattai in India and also those family members who live in other countries to communicate with their family members
WhatsApp > Arratai anyday. Can’t trust these clowns which are sponsored by pseudo dictator like modi.
