Sanchar Saathi App Optional, Users Can Delete It
Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia has stated that the Sanchar Saathi app, required on new phones by the DoT, is optional and can be deleted. The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) ordered it pre-installed on new mobile handsets, with penalties for non-compliance. Existing devices will get the app via updates, but users choose to keep it.
