📱🇮🇳Privacy nightmare in the making:

India's DoT just ordered Apple to pre-install an undeletable 'state security app' (Sanchar Saathi) on all new iPhones sold there, plus push it to existing ones via updates.

Officially for tracking lost/stolen phones, but it's basically gov't surveillance baked in.

This follows a recent directive that requires messengers to link accounts to SIM cards. People will not be able to run messengers without the SIM card with which they registered.
