Pakistan is launching Beep, a secure WhatsApp alternative tailored for government use by June 30, 2025.
Beep, developed under the National Information Technology Board (NITB), will offer messaging, voice, and video call features with data hosted entirely within Pakistan.
Cybersecurity assessment for Beep is ongoing with a full launch targeted by June 30, 2025, and the app will be rolled out in phases.
Beep's local data hosting aligns with Pakistan's digital sovereignty agenda to secure government communications and promote reliance on tech infrastructure.
