Indian Army issues advisory to delete Truecaller
The Indian Army has sent an advisory to all its personnel to delete the Truecaller application from their smartphones. The Army also put out a list of around 40 applications that need to be deleted or uninstalled from every personnel's smartphone. Most of these applications are based out of China.
The advisory claims that TrueCaller is a "spyware" or a "malicious ware" and should be deleted immediately. The application shares its data base of mobile numbers with users, in turn these users are asked to share their contact list with the application.
In a statement to India Today Tech, TrueCaller said that it was studying the Indian Army advisory and denied that it was a malware. "In response to certain reports, we would like to clarify that we are a Sweden based company. We are not sure why the app is on this list, but we're investigating. Truecaller is not a malware, and all our features are permission based and are disabled by default," a TrueCaller spokesperson said.
