‘A forced upgrade’: Zoho’s WhatsApp-rival gets system-wide end-to-end encryption

Zoho’s WhatsApp rival, Arattai, is set to implement mandatory system-wide end-to-end encryption for all users in the coming days. Founder Sridhar Vembu announced this ‘forced upgrade’ after extensive testing, prioritizing user privacy. Initially, one-on-one chats will be encrypted, with group chats to follow. Users can upgrade the app now, though the feature will activate post-final testing.
