BiP seems a better alternative to WhatsApp!
Ever since WhatsApp introduced its new privacy policy, a large segment of WhatsApp users have been looking for a better alternative. Telegram is already well known and used, and in many ways, it is better than WhatsApp, such as support for large groups supporting up to 200,000 members and channels with unlimited members support. Thus, many people offered telegrams as an alternative. In the last few days, the American app Signal has also become very popular, as many celebrities and experts around the world have called it the best alternative to WhatsApp. Using Signal shows that it is really an app similar to WhatsApp that can indeed be a great alternative to WhatsApp. Its founder, Brain, has also been a co-founder of WhatsApp, so there are a lot of similarities between the two apps.
But a few days ago, a well-known official in Turkey mentioned “BiP” Messenger in a Facebook post as an alternative to WhatsApp, so we gathered information about this app and downloaded it from the Play Store. After using BiP, it turned out to be a better alternative to WhatsApp, which should be preferred over Signal as the app contains a very strong TLS encryption method to keep your conversations truly secure.
This app is owned by Lifecell, a subsidiary of Istanbul, Turkey’s leading mobile operator, Turk Cell. It is encrypted in the same way—in fact, end-to-end encrypted, just like WhatsApp and Signals.
BiP contains all the features of WhatsApp and Signal. It also has some extra facilities: It can create groups like WhatsApp and add up to 1000 people to a group. However, only 257 people can be added to the WhatsApp group and only 150 to the Signal group.
Like WhatsApp, BiP also supports broadcasting. At the same time, Signal does not have this feature. The “BiP” broadcast list can be as many as 1,000 people.
Just as Telegram gives us channel support, so does BiP, while Signal and WhatsApp do not have channel support.
BiP also allows us to make audio and video calls to people like other apps, while the “group video call” feature distinguishes it from WhatsApp. BiP allows us to add up to ten people at once to a video call, which can easily be a video meeting of up to ten people. Video call quality in “BiP” is better than WhatsApp. Using the app shows that its data processing is very fast, allowing data to be sent and received faster.
Like Telegram, this app also offers the option of “Secret Chat,” while WhatsApp does not have this functionality.
Messages sent to an individual or group can also be auto-deleted, a feature called “Self destructive messages”. If you set this option to 2, 3, or 4 seconds, your message will be automatically deleted and completely removed from the database after these seconds, which no one can see again. Not even you.
As a built-in feature, all incoming and outgoing messages in “BiP” can also be auto-translated into your preferred language.
Developed by Turks, this app has all the essentials for people familiar with WhatsApp. Many other things make it a better alternative to WhatsApp, including its being a Muslim-developed app.
In addition, it has some other features that can be better understood by using it. This app can be downloaded from the Play Store for Android Mobile.
