Like WhatsApp, the new NIC platform can be used for all kinds of communications by anyone with a mobile number or email id.

The instant messaging app, called Sandes, has an interface similar to many other apps currently available in the market.

Although there is no option to transfer the chat history between two platforms, the chats on government instant messaging systems (GIMS) can be backed up to a users’ email.

GIMS, like other instant messaging apps in the market, uses a valid mobile number or email id to register the user for the first time. It also offers features such as group making, broadcast message, message forwarding and emojis.
