Apple will not cooperate with the Sanchar Saathi app proposed by the central government in the name of mobile security. Apple also clarified that it will affect the security of the iOS ecosystem. The center's explanation is that the application is not mandatory and users can delete it.

The central government had initially stated that the Sanchar Saathi app should be mandatory on all phones used and imported in India. After criticism, the center had clarified that Sanchar Saathi will not be imposed. The opposition alleged that this is the government's new move to monitor citizens.
