The government of India has issued an order to ban 54 Chinese apps citing that these applications pose a threat to national security.
In June last year, India banned 59 Chinese mobile applications including TikTok, WeChat, and Helo. Majority of apps banned in the June 29 order were red-flagged by intelligence agencies over concerns that they were collecting user data.
