After the banning of 59 Chinese apps now the Indian army asks soldiers and officers to delete 89 apps from their smartphone

News Desk: After the government of India banned 59 chineese apps for everyone in the country, the Indian army asks soldiers and officers to delete 89 apps from their smartphone.  The full list of 89 apps was posted on Wednesday. Notably, the list includes more than just apps with China origin such as Facebook, Tinder, Instagram, among others.

In a Twitter post “Indian Army has asked its personnel to delete 89 apps from their smartphone including Facebook, TikTok, Truecaller, and Instagram to plug leakage of information.” The list includes both Chinese and non-Chinese apps ranging from messaging platforms to health apps to popular mobile games and more.

The list includes all 59 Chineese Apps the govt. banned in India recently and some more Chinese and non-Chinese applications.

This move comes amidst the tension at the border between India and China. The army clearly doesn’t want leakage of any information. "The army has set July 15 as the deadline for soldiers and officers to delete the listed apps from their smartphone", Indian Army source said.

Notably, apps other than 59 banned Chinese apps are not banned in India. Army has just asked officers to delete them from their mobile phones.
