Discussion Ban on Chinese apps in India

[IndiaN]

It takes sometime (at least a few hours) to become those changes visible at Google's front-end once the change are made.

You mean already may have removed

When we can expect removal from playstore

They will after officials notify them formally about this decision. But users have to manually uninstall these apps it won't happen automatically plus most of brands like Xiaomi, Realme have their own pre-installed app store where these apps may continue to remain available.

Now since we can't ban smartphones overnight, the govt should make strict privacy law that restricts these companies to send data to CCP. Or atleast be transparent about what data they r collecting. It is possible if the govt has conviction....look at EU...they r tough on even google, apple fb.

I miss CamScanner. One good app among the list
Most likely all the apps will return back after some weeks/months of ban.

I think Chinese ui like miui, realme ui should be banned also. They should be forced to sell phones with stock android.

How did Opera browser and PUBG escape the ban? Whom to write about the apps government missed?

True, they will contact authorities and adress the concerns.

Adobe Scan is also better alternative.

Not only that move will help people get rid of those cringey ads but also help increase in number of sales of their smartphones.

But hey wait, we were supposed to break those phones right?

I think banned in india means they cant be made available in any way by any company....be it pre-installed or any app store...from official notification date.
