The Government of India wants to make all its official apps available in a single suite. Help has been sought from Apple and Google for this. However, the companies are not very excited about this initiative.

Soon users will be able to get all government apps in one place. The Government of India is preparing to collect all its apps on a single platform. Regarding this, the Ministry of Electronics and IT has written a letter to Apple and Google. Along with them, smartphone manufacturing companies have also been asked to cooperate in this direction. Let us know about this in detail.

The government will bring its app suite.

The government will make its apps available on an app suite. The government wants Google to let users download this app suite from its Play Store and Apple from its App Store. Along with this, companies have also been asked to pre-install this app suite on 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 a suite will make it easier for users to access them.

Google and Apple do not seem ready.

Google and Apple do not seem to be ready for this initiative of the government. According to media reports, Google has opposed this initiative and Apple is also not excited about it. Both the companies have a lot of control over the apps on their platforms. They also take a share of these incoming revenues. With the arrival of government apps, the company may have to lose control as well as a share of the revenue.

The government can adopt a tough attitude

In view of the opposition of the companies, the Indian government can adopt a tough attitude. If these companies refuse, legal action can be taken against them. The government had also shown strictness against TikTok and Meta in 2020. After the dispute with China, many Chinese apps including TikTok were banned in India.
