Chinese Apps Banned by India 

Over National Security Issues


Google has “temporarily blocked access” to these apps from its Play store 
as a result of the interim order.

Government of India has ordered to ban 54 apps that have links to China and pose a threat to the country's security, according to people familiar with the development. The apps that would be banned include Garena Free Fire, Tencent's Xriver, and NetEase's Onmyoji Arena. So far, the government has blocked nearly 300 apps in the country since border tensions erupted with China in May 2020. Google has informed Gadgets 360 that it has “temporarily blocked access” to the apps in question from Google Play in the country as a result of the government order.

"These 54 apps allegedly obtain various critical permissions and collects sensitive user data. These collected real-time data are being misused and transmitted to servers located in hostile country," the government said in a statement. "In addition there are other serious concerns as some of these apps can carry out Espionage and Surveillance activities via camera/ mic, accessing fine location (GPS) and do malicious network activity similar to previously blocked apps. These apps were allegedly engaged in activities prejudicial to the sovereignty and integrity of the country also posing serious threat to Security of the State and defense of India."

Garena's popular battle royale game Free Fire is arguably the most popular app among the fresh batch, with over 184,700 ratings on App Store and over 105,501,450 on Google Play.

Android 12 compatibility Android 12 will likely roll out to the majority of phones that came out in the last year or two, though some may be waiting a long time for it. It's guaranteed to hit every modern Pixel handset though, probably from the Pixel 3 onwards to the new  Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro , given that the Pixel 3 and 4a models support the beta. Speaking of the beta, we can look at the list of compatible phones for that to get some clues as to which might be first in line for the finished Android 12. They are as follows: Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro Pixel 3 to Pixel 5 (including XL and A-series phones) Oppo Find X3 Pro Nokia X20 OnePlus 9 / 9 Pro Xiaomi Mi 11 / 11 Ultra Xiaomi Mi 11i / 11X Pro ZTE Axon 30 Ultra (only Chinese models) TCL 20 Pro 5G Asus Zenfone 8 Realme GT Vivo iQOO 7 Legend Sharp Aquos Sense 5G Tecno Camon 17 We expect all of these would get the final Android 12 release, and likely quite quickly (with the Pixel phones getting it on day one).
