The users can use their Arattai account on up to five devices simultaneously.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Channels and Stories &#8211; when it comes to the Arattai, it provides stories and broadcast-style channels, merging messaging with social media elements, similar to WhatsApp\u2019s Status and Channels.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Pocket Feature &#8211; Arattai offers a pocket feature which is a dedicated self-chat space where users can store photos, videos, notes, reminders, and other files for personal organisation. It also sports a dedicated \u201cMeetings\u201d tab for scheduling video meetings, a feature WhatsApp currently lacks but instead ut provides a \u2018You\u2019 chat window where users can chat with themselves and save media.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Accessibility &#8211; Arattai is designed to be lightweight and to function smoothly even on low-memory smartphones and older 2G\/3G networks. This makes it more accessible for rural users and those with budget devices. WhatsApp, by comparison, consumes more data and system resources.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides this, Arattai is completely free to use as Zoho has created it as a freeware, cross-platform application which it promises to keep ad-free.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The software service provider has already assured that the app will not use personal data for targeted advertising, in contrast to Meta\u2019s strategy of integrating ads into its ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.livemint.com\/technology\/tech-news\/arattai-takes-on-whatsapp-5-areas-where-zohos-app-beats-meta-s-messaging-giant-11759229371351.html\">Image Source<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a long time there is a new competition in the market which will be giving a tight competition to the popular WhatsApp in India as per the latest update.
