Arattai App is the new messaging app sensation, that is viral on internet. It aims to take benefit of the recent push for local products by the Indian government. WhatsApp has been the go-to messaging app for millions in the country, but this local initiative has brought Zoho’s Arattai into the spotlight. We’ve seen several platforms attempt to compete with WhatsApp before, but the team behind app seems determined to make it work long-term.
Arattai Messaging App on Android and iOS
The Arattai app is available on the Android and iOS app stores, requiring version 6.0 (or later) on Android and iOS 14 or higher on Apple devices. The company has stated it will ensure app runs smoothly on low-end phones as well, but we expect this to happen gradually.
New Messaging App On Android and iPhones
On android

From this list, it’s clear that Arattai App requires access to a significant portion of the features on your phone. However, most of these permissions are standard for all messaging apps and shouldn’t raise alarms for those considering a switch.
