The Ministry of Information Technology has finally launched the Beep Pakistan communication app for government employees spanning 41 federal ministries and departments. It will eventually be released to the public as well.
The app is meant to serve as an alternative to WhatsApp and other social media applications. It will be used for secure communication among government employees and offers features such as audio and video calling and video conferencing. It will also allow users to safely transfer sensitive government documents.
Initially, the app is available for federal authorities, but in the second phase, it will be available at the provincial level. After government employees, the general public will also be able to use this application. This would mark Beep Pakistan as the country’s first indigenous social media application.
The government claims that because the application’s server is located in Pakistan, it makes it more secure than the alternatives. The source code of this application will also be hosted in Pakistan. The app’s connectivity has been enabled by 83 new projects initiated with an investment of Rs. 79 billion.
The launching ceremony of the Beep Pakistan app was attended by senior officials of the Ministry of IT, including Federal Minister for IT and Telecom, Syed Amin Ul Haque.
The IT Minister said that the launch of this application will put an end to audio and video leaks. He also revealed that three new incubation centers have been established over the past 4 years.
He added:
Today, 33 companies are manufacturing smartphones in Pakistan. World’s major companies are also manufacturing mobile phones in Pakistan. In 2020, IT exports were only $1 billion. Today, IT exports have reached $2.6 billion. Our aspiration is to take IT exports up to $15 billion.
Important milestones like Cyber Security Policy and Data Protection Bill have been achieved as well, according to Syed Amin Ul Haque.
Lol just another attempt to access public data
Why don’t you say the real purpose of this app? i.e. to spy on each user of this app. To have their data. To see if they are saying anything that goes against the regime. During recent times they must have had difficulty in tracing people who are saying things they don’t like. Because foreign apps are not easy to crack.
What a country we live in. Our rulers are our most violent, relentless, heartless enemies. We have to fear them more than terrorists, USA and India.
Heartbreaking!
Why not launch app national or internationaly?
spying tool, stay aleart guys. and people who think whatsapp is secure, you are wrong dear CIA can access your chats.
if you really want to secure communication, use threema, signal and telegram.
IT mister should check and fix the national saving app which even in 2023 only available of android and can be use to the account balance and nothing else. Incompetent people are appointed and lying from years with us.
Where the data of all communication will be saved?. Where the servers are located and who are the developers?. What is the data retention policy? Who will protect the Privacy? This app will get regular security updates or not? Who will make sure that data will not be decrypted by government officials and will be used against the citizens of Pakistan?
Why do they need to launch this app? Don’t they have the existing capability to access WhatsApp data?
Only a spying tool. Stay away from this app. Dont even download it. I am sure its full of spyware
no need this garbage, thanks
IS ARE YOU A FREAK? DUMB YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT IS THIS.
Isn’t it just a spy tool by government?
Today 33 companies are manufacturing mobiles in Pakistan. This statement below this article is a joke. Pakistan is one of the least developed country in terms of ICT. Telecom sector of Pakistan is one of the worst. Connectivity is weakest in the Asia. Obsolete technology is sold at a high price. These jokers cannot make any application like Whatsapp. They don’t know anything about information security and reliable communication. What they already have doesn’t work.
Where is it available
In the first phase it’s only for gov people.
hey bro where is download link
Finally, we are going digital at least. Appreciated!
That’s great appreciated

Probably a tool for spying on people. Would not even go near it.

Seems like agencies would like to collect personal videos for blackmailing purpose.
I think so this is good app. How can you that whatsapp is not a spy tool. You all are silly not know the real situation what are whatsapp is doing with pakistani People. I appreciate this app. it should be promoted nation wide.
So it means sooner the Lame govt is going to block whatsapp in pakistan. And force consumers to use this app.
Nice
