Indian alternative for Whatsapp

-
Sandes, previously named Government Instant Messaging System (GIMS), is an Indian freeware cross-platform instant messaging (IM) and Voice over IP (VoIP) service developed by the Government of India as an alternative to WhatsApp. The Sandes application works on both Android and iOS platforms, and is also accessible via its web portal. Even though a public launch date is not yet announced, the application can be download from official site. In 2019 the Government of India started a project to build an instant messaging platform named Government Instant Messaging System(GIMS) as part of its Make in India initiative. The main goal of the project was to provide a secure messaging platform to government employees for internal communication which doesn't arouse the security concerns attached with the communication platforms hosted abroad or those owned by foreign entities. The initial software testing started in mid-September 2019 and ran for an extensive period of time. Around 6,600 government officials from various departments participated in this pilot program which reported to have exchanged about 20 lakh messages. Later in February 2021 the client application was rebranded as Sandes and published in the official website. This time the program was made available to the public in limited number. Sandes app allows users to make end-to-end encrypted one-to-one and group messages. Also allows users to make end-to-end encrypted one-to-one voice and video calls. Messaging feature include forward, forward to mail, broadcast, backup, text customisation and tag. Tag is a functionality to mark a message as Confidential, on Priority or as Auto Delete. If a message is marked Auto Delete then it will be automatically deleted once the recipient reads it

In fact, in many respects, DuckDuckGo is better. But does Google own DuckDuckGo? Nope. It's not affiliated with Google and started in 2008 with a desire to give people another option. One of its first advertisements was urging people to look at Google with the slogan, “Google tracks you.To keep your searches private and out of data profiles, the government, and other legal requests, you need to use DuckDuckGo. We don't track you at all, regardless what browsing mode you are in. Each time you search on DuckDuckGo, it's as if you've never been there before.

Visual Studio Code or VSC for short is one of the most popular source code editor used by the programmers. It's fast, it's lightweight and it's powerful too! Microsoft designed VSC as a cross-platform code editor for writing web and cloud applications. Visual Studio Code is a streamlined code editor with support for development operations like debugging, task running, and version control. It aims to provide just the tools a developer needs for a quick code-build-debug cycle and leaves more complex workflows to fuller featured IDEs, such as Visual Studio IDE. To understand why VsCode is not an IDE, you have to first understand the difference between an IDE and a code editor.
