Even governments are getting into the app act. According to a report in ZDNet, the French government has developed its own end-to-end encrypted instant messenger (IM) app to replace government employee use of Telegram, WhatsApp, etc.
Called ‘Tchap’, the app was launched on April 18.
Only official French government employees can sign-up for an account; however, the French government also open-sourced Tchap’s source code on GitHub so other organizations can roll out their own versions of Tchap for internal use as well.
