If you’ve been keeping up with the news, you would know that the government banned 59 Chinese apps in India earlier this month. This led to the removal of these apps from the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. We also saw a meteoric rise in the number of homegrown apps that offer similar functionality – be it TikTok alternative Chingari or Camscanner alternative DocStack.

The company also states that the upcoming Realme 6i will not have any of the banned apps, such as Helo or UC Browser, pre-installed out-of-the-box. After Poco, Realme is the second Chinese phone brand to respond to the government’s directive. It’s great to see phone makers step up to the occasion, listen to feedback, and implement necessary changes to protect user privacy.
