Pakistan to launch 'Beep' secure messaging app for officials
Pakistan is creating a new app called 'Beep' for government workers.
It's like WeChat but made in Pakistan.
The app will be very secure, with special codes to keep messages and video calls private.
It will be used first by government offices and then others.
The app's servers will be in Pakistan, unlike WhatsApp.
The government wants to use this app to make work easier and safer.
It will cost a little to use, but the goal is to make it pay for itself over time.
Pakistan is launching 'Beep', a secure messaging app for government employees, inspired by WeChat.
The app is expected to launch within two months and will be integrated with the federal e-Office system.
Beep offers end-to-end encryption for text messages and video calls, with servers based in Pakistan.
The app will be rolled out in phases, starting with federal ministries and affiliated departments.
Beep will operate on a usage-based fee model and aims to be financially self-sustaining over time.
