With the anti-China sentiment running high and the government looking to back new homegrown apps under the ‘Aatma Nirbhar’ initiative in India, new social media apps have started to crop up quicker than ever. We have already seen TikTok clones such as Chingari and Mitron. But this time around, India’s Vice President M. Venkaiah Naidu has debuted a social media super app dubbed Elyments.

The app also lays emphasis on privacy. All of the data is said to be (E2EE) end-to-end encrypted and stored on servers hosted in India. This should give users some peace of mind but well-known French security expert Rober Baptiste, who goes by @fs0c131y on Twitter, plans to dig in and help report security loopholes in the app this week.
