Istanbul's municipality (İBB) delivers its citizen-service layer chiefly through İstanbul Senin, a super-app launched in November 2021 that bundles roughly a hundred mini-services — the digital İstanbulkart, utility-bill payment, real-time bus tracking — alongside the Söz Senin participation surveys and a Çözüm Merkezi (Solution Center) for reporting issues, extending the older Alo 153 / Beyaz Masa complaint line running since 1994. A companion İBB Hanem platform channels social-support applications. In late 2025 the app became the subject of a data-handling investigation amid the wider prosecution of the city's opposition-led administration.
