India is developing a plan to require cell phone manufacturers to allow the removal of pre-installed applications, so-called viruses.

In the document seen Reutersyou can also read that he seeks to order the revision of major operating system updates in accordance with the new proposed security rules.

more control

The rules that India is trying to introduce could increase the launch time for cell phones in its market and lead to business losses.

Brands such as Samsung, Xiaomi, Vivo and Apple could be hit the hardest.

According to a source from the Ministry of Technology and Information, the government remains concerned about espionage and misuse of user data.

“Preinstalled apps can be a weak link in the security system and we want to make sure that no foreign country, including China, takes advantage of them. This is a matter of national security,” the official added.

Bloated software to the limit

Many cell phone companies pre-install apps on their devices that can’t be removed later.

Under the new rules, smartphone manufacturers will have to provide a deletion option, and a laboratory authorized by the Indian Standards Agency will check new models for compliance.

The government is also considering requiring evaluation of every major operating system update before it is released to consumers.

The closed meeting was attended by representatives of Xiaomi, Samsung, Apple and Vivo, follows from the record. The government has decided to give smartphone makers a year to comply with the rules after the rule comes into force, a date for which has yet to be set.

Of course, the main problem is that it takes a government agency enough time to hurt brand revenues in the so-called second technology market in the world.
