Once again, the Indian Government is banning more Chinese Apps in India for the first time after the historic 2020 ban. The Government of India will ban 54 more Chinese apps that threaten India’s security, informed sources on Monday. However, this is not the first time the Government has taken such a step. But this time, it comes after almost a two-year gap. As of now, there’s no official list of the new banned apps. However, rumours are suggesting that the list includes a top-rated game.

Apart from these, a popular smartphone game Garena Free Fire earlier disappeared from the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. It seems that the game could be on the new list of banned apps in India. However, note that we are still waiting for an official confirmation from Garena International, the game distributor. Also, neither Apple nor Google have released a statement related to the disappearance.
Very little official information is known about the complete list of banned apps right now. However, as per the report by ET Now, the new list of banned apps primarily includes clones of apps that got banned in India since 2020. These reported bans would make the list of banned Chinese apps in India to 320 from previously 270 in 2020.
