The app is like “Remove Chinese Apps” was a top trending free app on Google’s app store in India with over five million downloads in the last two weeks.
Funny enough on deletion, a message will pop up saying, “You are awesome, no China App found”. The controversial app becomes popular after a call for a boycott of Chinese apps in India over the Himalayan border dispute.
Reuters quoted a Google spokesperson saying, the application violated the policies of Google and therefore had to be taken down. “Remove China Apps” scanned users’ phones for apps such as ByteDance’s TikTok and Alibaba’s UC Browser.
OneTouch AppLabs developed the app.
In the company statement, “We are happy to announce that our first Initiative in direction of self-reliant India Remove China Apps has crossed 1 Million downloads within 10 days of launch.
“We have received 80,000 + appreciations in the last 2 days…Due to the high volume of feedback, we were not able to respond to all of the feedbacks individually.
“We want to say Thank You to all of you. Thank You, India for your love, appreciation and feedback. “YouAreAwesome”, the team wrote. (Dailypost)
