It's official. Baba Ramdev's Patanjali is all set to officially launch Kimbho - a desi counter to foreign messaging giant WhatsApp. Patanjali spokesperson SK Tiajarawala today said the Kimbho app, which had a disastrous brief appearance on Google Play Store a few months back, would be officially launched in the presence of Ramdev, Patanjali co-founder Acharya Balakrishna and Union minister Nitin Gadkari on 27th August. 

A Twitter post by Tijarawala, appealing people to "spread this indigenous 'Kimbho' in the whole world before its official launch", said, "Patanjali family is grateful to you for keeping faith in us. Celebrate the Independence Day as Digital Independence with 'Kimbho' new and advanced features. There may be some shortcomings in the 'Kimbho app, with all improvements we will do an official launch on 27th August, 2018. 

The Kimbho app can now be downloaded from Play Store.

“Happy Independence Day. Celebrate this Independence Day as Digital Independence with “Kimbho”. The official launch of the app is on 27th August, 2018. We welcome your comments & suggestions. Bharat Mata Ki Jai..!” a message sent to users by Patanjali today read. 

The Kimbho app had first appeared on the Play Store in May this year. Announcing the launch, Tijarawala had then tweeted, "Now Bharat will speak. After launching sim cards, Baba Ramdev has launched a new messaging application called Kimbho. Now WhatsApp will be given a competition. Our own #SwadeshiMessagingplatform. Download it directly from Google Play store.”

However, the app was soon withdrawn after several security issues were pointed out by users on social media. 

What's new

The new version of Kimbhpo includes features like private and video chat, video calling. It also claims to allow users for video conferences.
