Great news for this kid, especially the recent update news on WhatsApp.

I have no idea why the current government hasn't sponsored young people within education especially with I.T

Amid widespread concern regarding WhatsApp's new privacy policy, 15-year-old Pakistani app developer Nabeel Haider has a solution: an alternative instant messaging app that he claims works even better.

Haider hails from Karachi and has a keen interest in app development.

Federal Minister for Information Technology and Telecommunication Syed Amin-ul-Haque, who met and praised the teenager for his dedication, has offered him a chance to refine the app under expert supervision.

"I met with 15 y/o Nabeel Haider, who developed ‘FF Family’ - an advanced version of WhatsApp."

"I loved his dedication and have offered an internship via MoIT at the NIC in Karachi, where his app will be floated & groomed," the minister wrote on Twitter.

"Our youth and technology is the future," he added.

The application, called FF Meeting (family & friends meeting), is already available on the Google Play Store.

Many users have termed it similar to Telegram; however, the teenager claims that his app is more advanced than WhatsApp.

"It includes options like 'secret chat' and features for the visually impaired," Daily Times quoted Nabeel Haider as saying in a report.

For any programmer, it's not hard to develop a chatting app with various features. The issue comes with scaling. As users will grow, if the scaling isn't adequate, it'll be destined to fail. And in order to scale, more investors will be required which means, the company will lose money for first few years only for to survive.

Give the kid a break and let him enjoy his moment. He is all of 15 years old.

He'll learn all the tricks of scaling when he scales up in age. And he's going to get some expert help with the app too, it seems like.

If we applaud like this, then what you'll tell about those white hat Jr. who are coding games right and left? They start from 6 years I think.
