Concerning the privacy and security issues, the Government of India has banned a list of 59 apps made by the Chinese that include the likes of TikTok, ShareIt, and many other popular apps. Although the implementation is still unknown, the government may take a similar step they took with banning porn and block all the Indian IP addresses for these apps. We use a few of these apps in our day to day usage. So it’s hard to suddenly not rely on them. We have done the math for you to provide some of the best alternatives for such apps.
