Popular Chinese Apps Alternatives on APK, iOS
The appeal to remove Chinese apps from smartphones and boycott Chinese products was ignited by PM Modi's 'Vocal for Local' initiative. which led to the arrival of the 'Remove China Apps' app to get rid of the apps from the China mainland and go for other alternatives. However, the app was taken down from the Google Play Store a few days after its launch, and currently, you need to remove Chinese apps manually, if you support the cause. Past incidents also claim that Chinese apps are responsible for sharing user data with Chinese servers, thus, causing security issues.
To help you with the process, we recently came up with a list of popular Chinese apps on Android and IOS so that you can know of them and delete them from your smartphones. However, that is just the first step...
