A digital and technology company in Preston have launched a new instant messenger application which they hope will be an alternative to Whatsapp.
Chazbiz says it has a privacy control concept designed 'to keep you in control of your private journey' when communicating via the app.
Chazbiz Instant messenger allows users to register via their e-mail address rather than a phone number.
The idea was founded by Ishaq Vaez who is a Freelance IT consultant with over 13 years of experience in IT and software came up with the unique concept idea after many years of research, analysis and feedback.
He said: “The vision was to build the first British designed instant messaging app having already fully launched on the Android platform in late August 2021 and we have made huge success in getting it available to apple platform as well due to the high demand."
Chazbiz is taking advise from digital and tech consultants across the country to provide compete with other messaging services.
Ishaq said: “Many of you may remember, Blackberry Messanger Pin based app which was hugely popular before others took over due to it being restricted to Blackberry devices".
“Chazbiz works on a similar secure concept and this addresses a lot of privacy concerns on other apps out there".
Ishaq said: “One of the things that makes us unique is that Chazbiz does not work of the typical number registration, instead it uses more personalised security signup process like email and password with further 2FA that can be enabled by choice.
“This will stop people from being openly discovered as the application does not have access to your phone book, instead they will require your private username and also you are in control of your security by getting the option to allow or reject the contact who wants to add you.
“Currently these are our features which makes us unique. The application is totally free for everyday social users however we so offer a business package together with the option of having the app as a white label dedicated to a business designed for employee use.
"We will be providing a premium bespoke app with constant improvements and working on public feedback.”
The development is being spearheaded by Omar Rahman who has over 15 years experience in developing major apps.
