Sandes App: Download the WhatsApp Alternatives in 4 Easy Steps

by Yogesh MiglaniFebruary 19, 2021

Ever since Whatsapp rolled out this 👇🏻 notification,

Sandes App

They’ve been at the receiving end of criticism from its users worldwide. And as seen in the image, the issue was – User Privacy.

With no support whatsoever from Netizens, WhatsApp was forced to postpone the new terms & conditions.

Sandes App

Soon after that, the Indian Government has launched its own instant messaging app. Initially rolled out for the government officials, the app is available for everyone to download on their Android & iOS smartphones.

It’s a Made in India by National Informatics Centre (NIC) to boost PM Narendra Modi’s Digital India and Aatmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India) initiative.

Just like WhatsApp, it’s an end-to-end encrypted messaging app. But still, you might have thousands of questions about it. So, going ahead in this post, I’ll answer the most asked questions of yours:

✅What are some useful Sandes App Features?

✅Is it Better than WhatsApp?

✅Is it available for PC?

✅And how to download the App?

Now, let’s get started:

Table Of Contents

  • 1 5 Features Sandes App Offers
    • 1.1 Gimoji
    • 1.2 Disappearing Messages
    • 1.3 At Least 50 Members group
    • 1.4 Built-in AI Bot

5 Features Sandes App Offers

Gimoji

Sandes app uses an interesting combo of a GIF & Emoji to attract the audience.

Disappearing Messages

It’s the same feature that WhatsApp rolled out via a recent update. The disappearing messages are set to delete after every 7 days automatically.

At Least 50 Members group

Sandes App lets you add at least 50 members to a group.

Built-in AI Bot

It comes with a build that can help you use the app, check the weather in your area.

Sandes app comes with a unique feature where you can tag your sent message as Confidential, Priority & Auto Delete.

3 Features Sandes App Lacks

❌Incognito Keyboard Mode Missing

❌screen security (block screenshots feature)

❌No Fingerprint & Screen Lock. For the time being, you can install its 3rd part alternative Applock.

WhatsApp vs. Sandes: Which One’s Better?

the champ

Winner: WhatsApp.

Wait! Before saying anything,  Listen to me out first.

I get it.

  • Sandes is a Made in India app like twitter’s alternative microblogging app KOO.
  • It has tons of features stated above.
  • And most important, it values your Privacy.

But, at the moment, it’s not a ‘Complete’ app. It lacks in many areas.

In terms of interface, both WhatsApp & Sandes app shares similar looks.

The biggest difference between the two shows up right when you try to sign up for the Sandes App.

These are the 2 options you get. But, the sign-up using an email is limited to Government personnel only.

From backing up your chats to sharing high-size file sizes, everything goes smooth for Sandes. But as you start to use the app excessively, it takes no time to show up its lapses.

For instance:

  • After creating an account, the Sandes app does not let you change your mobile number or email ID. So, if you have lost your email id or you’ve got a new mobile number, you’ll have to start afresh.
  • On certain occasions, it begins to lag in animation.

That’s not it. There were many more instances where I found WhatsApp way lot better than Sandes App.

Download Sandes App on your Smartphone

✅The Sandes android app is only available via its official website & the iOS can be downloaded from the app store. You can download the app from below:

Download – Android

Download – iOS

✅Open the app and use your mobile number to create an account. At last, enter the OTP to create your account.

✅The next step is optional. Suppose you don’t feel like it, press skip & go to the next step. Or else, enter your name, gender and upload your profile. The latter is optional, and you can choose to skip if you don’t upload your image.

✅Give necessary permissions to the app. Once done, sync the contacts to start messaging with your friends & family.

Frequently Asked Questions

What user data does Sandes collect?

The app’s privacy label on Apple’s App Store shows that it collects:

Contact Info, User Content, Identifiers, Diagnostics, The log files, Crash reports, User’s service settings, online status, last seen status, and Metadata of each message (This includes the sender’s Identity, the receiver’s identity, the date, time and size of instant or group messages, audio and video calling date, time, and duration.

P.S. Don’t get intimidated by looking at these details. It’s normal for a messaging app to collect this much data.

Can I use the Sandes app on a PC or tablet?

Sandes app is available for Android and iOS users only. However, for the time being, it isn’t compatible with tablets. If you can’t wait to use it, you can install it on your PC using this Android Emulator.

Can I use it on my rooted android smartphone?

No. You can’t.

Final Verdict

So, what do I think of Sandes App?

With the likes of players like Telegram, the Signal already in the MIX, Sandes app has a long way to go.

Besides, it’s in the early phase of development. Down the line, Nic will take users’ feedback under consideration and offer something that no one has ever seen before.

That’s all for now. Have you tried the Sandes app on your smartphone? If yes, what did you like in it & what are the improvements would you like to see in it? Do let me know about it in the comments section given below.
