The Indian defence ministry has advised troops stationed on the Chinese border to uninstall Chinese-made apps from their smartphones.

The list includes popular apps like MI store, which include on XIOMI smartphones, wechat and share it which is one of the most popular sharing apps in India.The list includes total 42 Chinese apps. The Indian defence ministry suspected that these apps can be used to track information related to a position of military guards within indo-china border, which then send back to servers located in China. The Chinese military can use tracking information for their defence strategy.Following list includes some of the suspicious apps:
  • wechat
  • weibo
  • Uc browser
  • 360 security
  • clean master
  • MI community
  • shareit
  • Truecaller
  • Photo wonder
  • QQ player
  • virus cleaner
  • DU browser
  • baidu translate
  • Mi video call xiomi
  • baidu map
  • DU Battery Saver
  • vault hide
  • QQ launcher
  • you cam makeup
  • Apus browser
Indian smartphone market is dominated by Chinese companies.These smartphones come up with pre-installed apps which can not be uninstalled by a user. hence, these apps work in the background without users' intervention.The apps which do malicious activity in the background are termed as
"SPYWARE". Indian authorities previously banned the Chinese made hardware in the same border region, prohibiting the use of hauwai or ZTE networking equipment.
