Remove China Apps goes viral; becomes second most downloaded app

The Remove China Apps has gained prominence among Indian Android smartphone users in a short period of time. The app helps users list Chinese apps so as to uninstall them from their phones, Livemint reported.

Clicking on the scan now button of the app gives users a list of all the apps developed by Chinese organisations, including TikTok, ShareIt, and CamScanner, on their phones.

The app, which has garnered more than one million downloads on Android within two weeks, is in the number 2 position on Google Playlist. Launched on May 17, it has gained from the anti-China sentiment sparked by the Covid-19 pandemic and the stand-off in Ladakh.
