Until now, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/?s=Google+\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google<\/a> has already made the application available on their Google Play. However, Apple has not yet consented to add the app on the iOS App Store. Furthermore, the US manufacturer cites a possible breach of user privacy.<\/p>\n<p>Today, TRAI is seeking that all the telecom networks de-register iPhones from their respective channels. According to them, this is a penalty for not making the DND app available on the device. Meanwhile, the Indian Cellular Association has denied TRAI\u2019s demands. Besides, they stated that the telecom regulator does not have control over device manufacturers. Moreover, they should not allow \u201cAccess Providers\u201d to control devices or customers who possess such devices.<\/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\/2018\/08\/spicesv2-780x521.webp 780w,https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/spicesv2-780x521-300x200.webp 300w,https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/spicesv2-780x521-768x513.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 374px) 100vw, 374px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/spicesv2-780x521.jpg\" height=\"250\" width=\"374\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/spicesv2-780x521.jpg 780w, https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/spicesv2-780x521-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/spicesv2-780x521-768x513.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 374px) 100vw, 374px\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-95828 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"iPhones\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Every Access Provider shall ensure, within six months\u2019 time, that all smartphone devices registered on its network support the permissions required for the functioning of such Apps as prescribed in the regulations 6(2)(e) and regulations 23(2)(d).
