The Indian government has become a real problem for Apple when it comes to making practically any movement in the country, from opening new Apple Stores, to being able to freely sell its products in the country without limitations. Last July, Apple faced an imminent iPhone ban in the country if it did not comply in January 2019 with the communications regulator TRAI.
Apple had blocked the arrival of an application to the App Store that prevented receiving calls and SPAM messages claiming privacy concerns, although he agreed to cooperate in order to create an application that did not share the user's call or message logs with the country's authorities.
The app called TRAI DND-Do Not Disturb aims to help Indian users curb marketing phone calls and unsolicited text messages, a problem that has become huge in recent years. This application, since it is available in the App Store, allows users to register their phone number in the service which It will allow you to report both SPAM calls and SMS directly in the application.
This application, unlike the ones we can currently find in the App Store, automatically takes care of reporting to the government of India, the phone numbers used as a marketing tool. What we do not know is that how the government plans to manage all the telephone numbers associated with this type of service, since if the mission is not to bother users, with applications such as True Caller or Hiya it would be more than enough.
Again, Apple has saved another problemAlthough this time small, it had become a new stone in the path of the hard journey it is making in India since it announced its plans to sell products directly in the country.
