Now, 47 more apps of Chinese origin have entered the dreaded list, mainly because they have a similar theme to those that were removed last month since their permanence with free access in the country could become a door for China to achieve remain in the Indian market.

Current deletions include names such as TikTok Lite, Helo Lite, ShareIt Lite, Bigo Lite and VFY Lite, which were banned from both the Play Store and the App Store, on the grounds that they would be “detrimental to sovereignty, integrity and country security “.
