Sanchar Saathi App: Why India Is Making It Mandatory on All New Smartphones

Sanchar Saathi App is now at the center of India’s digital safety push, as the government has instructed all smartphone makers to include it on new and upcoming devices. Brands such as Apple, Samsung, OnePlus and Vivo will deliver the app through pre-installation or future software updates, marking one of the largest security rollouts in the country.

How the Sanchar Saathi App Strengthens Digital Safety:

The Sanchar Saathi App is designed to help users identify fraud, report scams, verify mobile numbers registered under their ID and check the legitimacy of their phone’s IMEI. It also allows users to quickly freeze a lost or stolen device. These tools aim to reduce cybercrime and offer better transparency for mobile users across India.

Why the Mandate Created Debate

Some users raised concerns because the app is being added automatically. However, officials have clarified that the app is completely optional and can be uninstalled at any time. This reassurance balances user privacy with the larger goal of nationwide digital protection.
