Arattai is a relatively new messaging app that aims to capitalize on the recent “swadeshi push” from the Indian government. Millions of people in the nation have been using WhatsApp as their primary messaging app, but Zoho’s Arattai has gained popularity due to the new push for local goods.
Although this is not the first platform to attempt to compete with WhatsApp, the site’s developers are committed to making things work in the long run.
We’ve discussed the majority of Arattai’s capabilities, but what about user privacy and what features it must have on the phone, just like any other social media app? Here is a thorough examination of Arattai’s security features and other aspects.
The Arattai Messaging App for iOS and Android: What Your Phone Can Access
Version 6.0 or later and iOS 14 or later are required for the Arattai app, which is available on the Android and iOS app stores, to function on a phone. Although the business has stated that it will make sure Arattai functions flawlessly on low-end phones as well, we anticipate that this will take time.
Let’s now examine the features that the Arattai apps aim to offer on your iOS or Android device:
Android Arattai App
Capture images and videos using a camera
Contact: view yours, locate your account on the device, and edit contact
position: access the approximate position or the exact location
Mic: capture sound
Phone: contact numbers directly, check phone status, and verify identification
Storage: alter or remove the contents
Additional features include reading user-selected images and movies, keeping the phone from sleeping, receiving data from the internet, connecting to associated Bluetooth devices, accessing do not disturb, and more.

- User ID
- Device ID
- Contact info – name, phone number
- Contacts
You can see from the list that Arattai requires access to a significant number of your phone’s functions. However, the most of these apply to all messaging apps, and there is nothing unusual that would worry those attempting to defect.
The platform’s support claims that all calls made through the app are end-to-end encrypted, which is where things start to get interesting. However, messages do not employ such phrase, which raises some questions. Hopefully, the organization will have more information to give in the upcoming weeks. Chats that aren’t encrypted raise serious concerns and may discourage users from using the platform.
The Arattai app’s developer further asserts that because it is a “made in India” app, all of the data is kept domestically, with all of the discussions and titles being encrypted.
