India Orders Smartphone Makers To Preload State-owned Cyber Safety App
Apple's latest iPhone 17 Pro Max series is displayed for sale at an electronics store in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, on December 02, 2025. India's telecoms ministry directs smartphone manufacturers to pre-install a government-run cybersecurity app on all new devices, according to a government order, raising concerns of data privacy and user consent in one of the largest handset markets in the world. Meanwhile, Apple does not plan to comply with a mandate to preload its smartphones with a state-owned cyber safety app and will convey its concerns to New Delhi, three sources say, after the government's move sparks surveillance concerns and a political uproar.
