The Supreme Court advises Arattai in place of the petitioner, stating that there is no "fundamental right" to utilize WhatsApp.

The Indian app Arattai was suggested in a recent Supreme Court case involving a prohibited WhatsApp account. The court urged the petitioner to think about other options, clarifying that users must abide by platform restrictions and that access to private services is not a constitutional right.

The Supreme Court appears to have taken notice of the popularity of the native personal messaging app Arattai. In addition to rejecting the petitioner's plea to have her barred WhatsApp account restored, the judges recommended Arattai as a substitute.

The petitioner Through her attorney, Senior Advocate Mahalaxmi Pavani, Dr. Raman Kundra, a physician, stated that she had been using WhatsApp for the past ten to twelve years and that it was necessary for her to stay in touch with her clients.

The doctor claimed that WhatsApp had breached her fundamental rights in a writ petition filed under Article 32 of the Constitution. According to the complainant, WhatsApp suspended her account on September 13 and informed her that it will remain prohibited after she requested a review.

The petitioner was informed by the bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta that the Constitution did not guarantee access to private digital platforms such as WhatsApp and that users had to abide by the platform's rules in order to be eligible for its services. They encouraged the petitioner to resolve the issue through the proper legal or regulatory procedures and declined to consider any arguments that WhatsApp's behavior constituted an infringement of free speech.

"What is your basic entitlement to use WhatsApp?" The bench spoke.

You can make use of various communication applications. Use the native app Arattai, which was released recently. "Made in India!" Noted by Justice Mehta.

Zoho's Ascent in India: Although Arattai has been available for almost four years, the app has just lately become more well-known due to the government's initiative to encourage the use of apps created in India. With over 7.5 million downloads worldwide, the Zoho Corp. app is one of the fastest-growing apps and is at the top of the App Store and Google Play Store's list of the best free apps.

In a post regarding the Arattai app on X (previously Twitter), Zoho founder Sridhar Vembu stated, "I told our Arattai staff yesterday that you have all worked hard for more than five years without anticipating that the product would ever take off.
