Controversy

According to a report by Sikkim Express, TraceX Labs raised concerns about India’s proposed SIM binding mandate for messaging platforms such as WhatsApp, Telegram, and Signal, stating that while the policy may help reduce cyber fraud, it could also create technical challenges and data recovery issues for legitimate users.

TraceX Labs raised concerns after the Government of India reportedly privately ordered smartphone manufacturers, including Apple, Samsung, Xiaomi, Vivo, and Oppo, to pre-install the Sanchar Saathi app on devices sold in India. The organisation described the mandate as malware-like and warned that a non-removable system-level application with broad permissions could create a surveillance architecture comparable to Pegasus spyware.
