In recent years, the Indian government has banned around 250 Chinese mobile apps citing them as “prejudicial to the sovereignty and integrity of India, defense of India, security of the state and public order”.
Much Popular Android & IOS Applications like UC Browser, Xender, TikTok, Shein, and Camscanner were widely used in India and had millions of downloads. Banning popular mobile games like BGMI, PUBG Mobile and Garena Free Fire shocked not only the players but also the Esports community of the country.
As of 2022, the government of India has ordered the Ban of more than 250 Chinese apps that it claims are “prejudicial to the sovereignty and integrity of India, defense of India, security of the state and public order.” The apps in question include PUBG Mobile, Freefire Mobile, TikTok, UC Browser, Xender (formerly Xender Mini), Shein (formerly Sameer), and Camscanner.
The Ban was given to the apps by citing them as “prejudicial to the sovereignty and integrity of India, defense of India, security of the state and public order”.
It has been claimed that these apps were gathering sensitive user data and requesting important permissions, which have been used improperly by servers in the hostile nation. Recently, the Indian version of PUBG Mobile called BGMI or Battlegrounds Mobile India was removed from the Google Play store and Apple App store. The battle royale game gained a lot of popularity in India, crossing over 100 million users in just a year.
Indian authorities have accused mobile apps of gathering sensitive user data and requesting important permissions. The government alleges that servers in the hostile nation are receiving and using the acquired data improperly.

Final Words about the Chinese App Ban in India
Above we have mentioned the complete list of Chinese apps blocked by the Indian government after it claimed that the country’s national security had been compromised. The move was triggered by an order of India’s Supreme Court in August this year, demanding a ban on the popular mobile esports game named BGMI and a host of video call apps unless their data was stored locally. According to a notice issued last week by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT), more than 250 mobile apps have been banned by India Till Date.
