The Big News: Arattai Finally Gets E2EE (Kya Hua Hai?)
Lambe intezaar ke baad, Zoho ne announce kiya hai ki Arattai ab mandatory End-to-End Encryption (E2EE) use karega for all direct 1-on-1 chats. Yeh update November 2025 ke mid mein rollout hona shuru hua hai.
What is End-to-End Encryption?
Simple bhasha mein kahein toh, E2EE ka matlab hai ki jab aap kisi ko message bhejte hain, toh woh aapke phone se nikalte hi "lock" ho jata hai, aur sirf receiver ke phone par pahunch kar hi "unlock" hota hai. Beech mein koi bhi—even Arattai/Zoho ke servers, government agencies, ya hackers—us message ko padh nahi sakte.
Pehle Arattai mein sirf "Client-to-Server" encryption tha, jiska matlab tha ki Zoho ke paas theoretically aapke messages ko decrypt karne ki chaabi (key) thi. Naye update ke baad, woh chaabi sirf aapke aur receiver ke device par hogi.
How Does the New Encryption Work? (Kaise Kaam Karega?)
Yeh update thoda alag tareeke se kaam karta hai compared to other apps. Ismein kuch important conditions hain jo aapko pata honi chahiye.
The "Both Must Update" Rule
Arattai ka E2EE tabhi activate hoga jab both sender and receiver app ke latest version par honge. Agar aapne update kar liya hai, lekin aapke dost ne nahi kiya, toh aapki chat encrypted nahi hogi.
- Android Users: Version 1.33.6 ya usse upar hona chahiye.
- iOS Users: Version 1.17.23 ya usse upar hona chahiye.
Agar aap dono latest version pe hain, toh system automatically E2EE ko enforce kar dega. Aap isse turn off nahi kar sakte.
What Happens to Old Chats? (Purani Chats ka Kya Hoga?)
Yeh sabse confusing part hai is update ka. Arattai ne existing chats ko encrypted banane ke bajaye ek naya system apnaya hai.
Jab aap aur aapka contact dono update kar lenge, toh Arattai aapki purani (non-encrypted) chat thread ko archive kar dega. Aur us contact ke sath ek bilkul nayi, fresh chat window open hogi jo end-to-end encrypted hogi.
Iska matlab hai:
- Aap purani chat history ko dekh sakte hain (archived section mein).
- Lekin aap us purani thread mein naye messages nahi bhej sakte.
- Nayi baatein nayi encrypted window mein hongi.
Yeh thoda inconvenient ho sakta hai, but Arattai ka kehna hai ki yeh fresh start security ensure karne ke liye zaroori hai.
Arattai vs. WhatsApp: The Ultimate Safety Comparison (Kaun Jyada Safe Hai?)
Ab aate hain main mudde par. Kya naya Arattai ab WhatsApp se zyada safe hai? Comparison dekhte hain:
1. Personal (1-on-1) Chats
- WhatsApp: Saalon se default E2EE hai.
- Arattai (New): Ab default E2EE hai (shart yeh hai ki dono updated version par hon).
- Verdict: Tie. Dono barabar safe hain personal chats ke liye.
2. Group Chats
- WhatsApp: Group chats bhi fully end-to-end encrypted hain.
- Arattai: Abhi tak Group chats mein E2EE nahi aaya hai. Zoho ne kaha hai ki yeh "coming weeks" mein aayega.
- Verdict: WhatsApp Wins. Agar aap groups zyada use karte hain, toh WhatsApp abhi bhi zyada secure hai.
3. Voice & Video Calls
- WhatsApp: Fully Encrypted.
- Arattai: Fully Encrypted (Yeh pehle se hi tha).
- Verdict: Tie.
4. Data Localization (Server Kahan Hai?)
Yeh Arattai ka sabse bada plus point hai. WhatsApp (Meta) ka data mostly US ya bahar ke servers par hota hai. Arattai ka data Indian servers par store hota hai. Privacy laws ke hisab se kuch users ke liye yeh bahut bada factor hai.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Yahan kuch common sawal hain jo users puch rahe hain:
Q1: Kya mujhe E2EE on karne ke liye koi setting change karni padegi?
Ans: Nahi. Agar aap aur aapka contact dono latest app version par hain, toh yeh apne aap on ho jayega. Yeh mandatory hai.
Q2: Mere purane messages encrypted ho jayenge kya?
Ans: Nahi. Purane messages archive ho jayenge jaisa woh the (server-side encrypted). Sirf naye messages E2EE honge.
Q3: Agar mere dost ke paas purana phone hai jo update nahi ho sakta, toh kya hoga?
Ans: Arattai ke anusar, agar dusra person update nahi kar sakta, toh aap unse purane (non-encrypted) tareeke se sirf kuch dinon tak hi baat kar payenge. Uske baad, E2EE mandatory ho jayega system-wide.
The Missing Piece: Group Chats Encryption
Jaisa ki humne upar discuss kiya, Arattai ke naye update mein sabse badi kami yeh hai ki Group Chats abhi bhi fully secure nahi hain. WhatsApp aur Signal jaise apps mein groups by default secure hote hain.
Zoho ke CEO Sridhar Vembu ne confirm kiya hai ki Group E2EE par kaam chal raha hai aur yeh agle kuch hafton mein roll out hoga. Jab tak yeh nahi aata, tab tak Arattai ko "WhatsApp se zyada safe" kehna technically galat hoga.
How to Check if Your Chat is Encrypted (Kaise Pata Karein?)
Yeh check karna bahut aasaan hai ki aapki current chat secure hai ya nahi.
- Arattai app kholein aur kisi chat window mein jayein.
- Top bar par, jahan contact ka naam likha hota hai, wahan dekhein.
- Agar wahan ek chhota sa Shield Icon (🛡️) bana hua hai, toh iska matlab hai ki aapki chat End-to-End Encrypted hai.
Agar shield icon nahi hai, toh turant Play Store/App Store jakar app update karein aur apne dost ko bhi bolen!
Conclusion (Nishkarsh)
Toh, Arattai ka yeh naya update kaisa hai? Yeh ek bahut bada aur zaroori kadam hai. Ek "Made in India" app ka global standards ki security provide karna kaafi commendable hai.
Kya ab ye WhatsApp se safe hai?
Jawab hai: Almost, but not quite yet.
Personal chats ke liye, Arattai ab WhatsApp ke barabar safe hai. Aur agar aapko "Data Sovereignty" (ki aapka data India mein hi rahe) ki chinta hai, toh Arattai WhatsApp se behtar hai.
Lekin, jab tak Group Chats mein encryption nahi aata, WhatsApp overall security package mein aage hai. Agar aap Arattai use karte hain, toh turant update karein, yeh apki privacy ke liye bahut zaroori hai!
