Syed Nabeel Haider, a 15-year-old boy and resident of Karachi, has developed an instant messaging app with features such as voice calling, community formation, channel creation, and features for the visually impaired. As per the student, the software is much more advanced than WhatsApp, and it took him three years to complete. The app also has a “hidden talk” feature, similar to WhatsApp, that allows users to set chats to auto-delete and encrypt them.
According to his family’s recommendations, the boy called the software FF meeting (family & friends meeting). The boy was visited by Zafar Abbas of the JDC foundation, who disclosed that the student’s father is currently unemployed and earns money by selling food in the neighborhood.
According to Nabeel, the software creation took him longer due to the poor performance of his laptop, which he purchased for Rs. 10,000. “My father worked very hard to save money for me to buy the laptop, but its inefficiency lengthened the time to develop the app,” Nabeel stated.
Due to coding discrepancies, the student has not been able to launch the app for the Apple platform, but he plans to do so within a year.
