How is it safer than WhatsApp?

Most commercial products such as WhatsApp save data in external servers and are controlled by foreign agencies which raise the risk of leaking confidential information.

However, this platform aims to eliminate the risks of storing confidential and sensitive information and files on servers outside the Kingdom and protecting them as required.

Who will be its users?

Currently, they are targeting government agencies, institutions, and companies, and not the average user. The platform can also be installed on several types of systems and devices, including desktop computers running on Windows and smart phones with various operating systems available.
