User Reviews

Users praise Arattai for strong privacy, a solid, feature-rich, and user-friendly experience, and its potential as a WhatsApp-like alternative. However, they frequently cite performance issues—especially slow media uploads and delivery—along with bugs in syncing and contact handling. They also request missing features such as message deletion and auto-delete, and note permissions prompts and some country-specific login problems. Overall sentiment is positive but with clear calls for fixes and improvements.

Pros

Strong privacy and data protection with encryption and no data sharing.
Feature-rich and user-friendly experience with solid core functionality.
Good WhatsApp alternative and a game changer for a homegrown messaging app.

Cons

Slow image and video uploads and overall media delivery delays.
Bugs and syncing issues (indexing problems, contact recognition with multiple numbers, username syncing).
Missing important features like delete messages for me or everyone and auto-delete options.
Permissions friction (repeated requests to grant contacts access) and some country-specific sign-in problems.

Recent reviews

Best app alternative to WhatsApp so far which runs on its own cloud and software and have lot of room for improvements, keep it going by adding more bug fixes and new features.

Been using it for a few months and all features work in a solid manner. Also call quality from US to India was good.

The image and video uploads are noticeably slower compared to other chat apps. Besides, please consider improving the message delivery indicators — a single tick mark doesn’t clearly confirm successful delivery. It would be better to have a universal delivery status system rather than app-specific versions. Currently, we often use other apps like WhatsApp for faster media sharing. Hope these issues get resolved soon.
