All of them have the potential to carry out a cyber-attack against the country. Additionally, the Government has allegedly issued a warning to the Indian army and paramilitary against their usage. Besides, An India Today report posted the advisory letter on its website. In details, the statement reads as: \u201cAs per reliable inputs, some Android\/IOS apps developed by Chinese developers, or having Chinese links are reportedly either spyware or other malicious ware. As a result, usage of these apps by our force personnel can be detrimental to data security having implications on the force and national security.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Union Home Ministry has come up with the advice with inputs from several intelligence agencies. Some of them are the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Research_and_Analysis_Wing\">Research and Analysis Wing<\/a> and National Technical Research Organisation. Meanwhile, they have requested immediately uninstalling the 42 apps. Additionally, this is not the first time that Indian has flagged Chinese apps. In 2016, India had issued to ask\u00a0people to refrain from using Chinese origin applications as well as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/best-4gb-ram-chinese-smartphones\/\">smartphones<\/a>. On the other hand, there were some internet modems listed with suspicion of malicious activities of the gadgets.<\/p><div style=\"float: none; display: block; margin: 0 -10px; text-align: center;\"><!-- ph_pricepony_article_incontent_1 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"7528541080\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<!-- ph_pricepony_article_incontent_2 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"2964262507\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<\/div><\/p>\n<p><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Chinese-Apps-e1512103604477.webp 375w,https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Chinese-Apps-e1512103604477-300x200.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 375px) 100vw, 375px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Chinese-Apps-e1512103604477.jpg\" height=\"250\" width=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Chinese-Apps-e1512103604477.jpg 375w, https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Chinese-Apps-e1512103604477-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 375px) 100vw, 375px\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-65936 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"Chinese Apps\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><\/p>\n<p>Here are the apps that have been listed: Weibo, WeChat, SHAREit, Truecaller, UC News, UC Browser.
