WhatsApp Tests Cross-Platform Messaging in Europe, Opening Door to Arattai Compatibility
Homegrown Indian instant messaging app Arattai, developed by Chennai-based technology firm Zoho, has been gaining traction over the past few months. Arattai's founder, Sridhar Vembu, recently called for interoperability across messaging platforms, allowing seamless communication between users of various apps.
This vision might soon turn into reality through WhatsApp. According to a report by WaBetaInfo, WhatsApp is currently testing a cross-platform messaging feature that will allow users to send messages to people on other apps, potentially including Arattai.
While the feature is still being beta tested in Europe, it could pave the way for WhatsApp users to be able to communicate with Arattai users without having to download the Arattai app.
