Soon users will be able to get all the government apps at one place. Actually, the Indian government is preparing to collect all its apps on a single platform. The Ministry of Electronics and IT has written a letter to Apple and Google regarding this. Along with these, smartphone manufacturing companies have also been asked to cooperate in this direction. Let us know about this in detail.
Government will bring its own app suite
Actually, the government will make its apps available on an app suite. The government wants Google to allow users to download this app suite from its Play Store and Apple from its App Store. Besides, companies have also been asked to pre-install this app suite in smartphones. Through this, the government wants to increase people’s access to government services and schemes. Currently all government apps have to be downloaded separately. Officials say that being available in one suite will make it easier for users to access them.
Google and Apple do not seem ready
Google and Apple are not seen with this initiative of the government. According to media reports, Google has opposed this initiative and Apple is also not enthusiastic about it. Both companies have a lot of control over the apps available on their platforms. It also takes a share in these incoming revenues. With the introduction of government apps, the company may lose control as well as a part of the revenue.
Government can adopt strict attitude
In view of the opposition from the companies, the Indian government may adopt a tough stance. If these companies refuse then legal action can be taken against them. Even in 2020, the government had shown strictness against TikTok and Meta. After the dispute with China, many Chinese apps including TikTok were banned in India.
