Sandes VS Whatsapp

Sandesh app has so many similarities with WhatsApp. And you can also get some notable differences in the app like UI, AI, and interface.

Sandes App has a verified feature that is specially made for government employees and they are using it for professional work and sharing the information. But in the case of WhatsApp, you wouldn’t get this type of thing. WhatsApp is the same for all, whether he is a minister or a common man.

You can also get to see that, usually you can store the backup in Google drive which is a registered email I’d. But in the sandes app, you would get the option to store the backup in your google drive or your external or Pendrive option.

You might notice that you can send messages in different colors with different fonts in sandes app but this feature is not available in WhatsApp.

You never change your registered email I or phone number in the Sandes app. If you have registered, it will be fixed for a lifetime. But on WhatsApp, you can change all these things very easily.

In WhatsApp, you can change your phone number from old to new without deleting the account and you can sync easily. But you can’t do this in sandes app, if you want to change then you need to delete the account of that mobile number and you can get started with the new phone number.

Why you should replace WhatsApp with Sandes app?

It means you are supporting the government to grow India and some duty of our as well for the development of India.

If people start using sandes then Atamnirbhar Bharat would get some support from people and it would be starting to our nation.

You may remember that a few months ago WhatsApp started collecting data and mentioned that it was going to start sharing people’s data and personal details. So the government has thought about this and has come up with our app. It concerns privacy and is safe for use.

Sandes is free, has strong encryption, and works on mobile platforms very easily.
