The discontinuation of the world famous chat applications from time to time raises concern among those who rely on them, which calls them to search for an alternative. Turkish applications top the list of alternatives that users around the world have resorted to.
The WhatsApp chat application has stopped working completely due to a sudden malfunction, and a number of countries have reported that the chat application, which is used by about two billion people around the world, has stopped working, which calls on its users to search for safer and more effective alternatives.
The technology of social networking applications in Turkey is characterized by a tremendous development in recent years, which has enabled its users to continue communicating with their relatives and friends without interruption, thanks to the solid infrastructure. This is in contrast to foreign applications that occasionally suffer from some influential problems such as interruptions, as well as violating users' privacy and data.
Turkish experts point out that the importance of local and national means of communication in such cases is increasing in an unprecedented way, and they say that the use of local applications, such as BiP, Dedi and Yaay, is increasing day by day due to similar problems that occurred recently for many famous applications around the world.
Turkish alternatives
Omer Fatih Sayan, Deputy Minister of Transport and Infrastructure of Turkey, emphasized that the problems faced by foreign applications once again demonstrate the importance of local chat applications.
"The frequent outages in these platforms show the need for a new system in terms of consumer rights. These problems once again reveal the importance of local messaging apps. We encourage and invite all our citizens to use our national apps," said Sayan.
The Turkish instant messaging application, BiP, shared a tweet on Twitter, during the long hours of the WhatsApp outage, saying: "If you do not want your conversations to collapse at the most important moment, come to BiP and enjoy peace of mind!".
The application provides uninterrupted communication due to its strong infrastructure, as it was developed by Turkish engineers with the latest technologies available under the umbrella of the giant Turkcell company, through which it is possible to make voice and video calls, send and receive documents, and many other similar operations away from messages textual.
The promising Turkish application "BiP" continues to provide fast and secure communication service to millions of users, not only in Turkey, but also in 192 countries around the world.
Another local Turkish app called "Dedi", developed by the Turkish Information Technology and Internet Security Association, offers its users many services such as free messages, voice calls and video calls.
The app, in which all voice calls, video calls and file sharing are end-to-end encrypted using high-level security protocols, has become one of the most downloaded apps from app stores in recent times.
The application, which is based on open source software, is distinguished by allowing any user to view its resources, applying the rules of transparency and complete integrity.

In BiP, the user can enjoy HD quality group voice and video calls with up to 15 people, in addition to the option to share high-resolution images.
The app also allows chatting in over a hundred different languages while messaging, thanks to its 'Instant Translate' feature.
BiP provides uninterrupted connectivity with the 'emergency' feature, not only in normal times but also in times of disaster.
The Group Migration feature of the application enables users to quickly and easily transfer their groups and conversation history with others from the messaging application they used before.
BiP data is kept confidential and all communications are encrypted and stored in Turkcell data centers in Turkey.
The Turkish “Havelsan” application is also used by important institutions and organizations in Turkey, through which the employees of these institutions can send messages to each other, make secure voice and video calls, share media, documents and locations, and make conference calls through the organization’s groups.
Among the most prominent users of the application are the employees of the Turkish Defense Industries Presidency, the Turkish Armed Forces Corporation, and the State Economic Competition Authority.
