The government required the Sanchar Saathi app to be pre-installed on all cellphones in order to give all citizens access to cyber security. The program is safe and designed just to protect citizens from cybercriminals.It protects users while assisting all citizens in "Jan bhagidari" by reporting on such harmful actors and behaviours. The app only serves to protect users, and they are free to uninstall it whenever they choose.
The government has clarified this.This software has been downloaded by 1.4 crore people so far, who are adding data on 2000 fraud cases per day. The requirement to install the app was intended to expedite this procedure and make the app easily accessible to less knowledgeable residents, as the number of users has been growing quickly. Six lakh residents have registered to download the app in the last day alone, a tenfold increase in its uptake. This is a confirmation of citizens' faith in the government-provided app for self-defence.The government has chosen not to require pre-installation for mobile manufacturers due to the growing popularity of Sanchar Saathi.
