Anton Gorelkin announces that the merger between Max and Goslzh is set to be finalized within the forthcoming weeks.
The Russian national messenger, Max, is on the brink of entering the Mobile Application Housing (MAH) within a few weeks. This announcement follows President Vladimir Putin's signing of a law on its creation on June 24.
Max, designed to offer a wide range of services beyond traditional messaging features, will provide access to state services and integrate with various mini-apps and chatbots for solving everyday tasks. The messenger will also support voice and video calls, audio messages, large file transfers, and money transfers.
The development of Max is ongoing, with the Max team taking a proactive approach to cybersecurity. They have implemented AI code analysis, antifraud systems, and constant threat monitoring as key mechanisms for ensuring the security of their platform. Additionally, the team has a bug bounty program in place to encourage security researchers to identify and report vulnerabilities.
However, concerns about the spread of fake news and fabricated claims have arisen regarding Max. The Max team has emphasised their commitment to combating this issue, but no specific details about the current status of their integration or security measures have been disclosed.
The fear of losing the market to Max is growing among competitors, as the integration of state services within the messenger could potentially attract a large user base. The government appointed a "daughter" of VK, a popular Russian social media platform, to be responsible for developing Max on July 15.
Despite the lack of detailed information about Max's features and the exact date of its availability in the MAH, the integration of 'Gosuslugi' is almost complete and meets all security requirements for state information systems.
For the most accurate and current details regarding the availability and features of Max in the MAH app, it is recommended to check official government or application sources directly.
Max will leverage advanced technology to offer a wide range of services, including state services, mini-apps, chatbots, voice and video calls, audio messages, large file transfers, and money transfers. The Max team is also focusing on technology to ensure their platform's security, implementing AI code analysis, antifraud systems, constant threat monitoring, and a bug bounty program.
