After the recent suspension of 59 Chinese-based apps in India, the government has banned another 47 apps in the country that were said to be operating as clones of the previously banned applications and violating data privacy. The new list of banned Chinese apps reportedly includes names like PUBG, AliExpress, Ludo World, ULike, and Zili, among others. Moreover, the government is also scanning another set of 275 mobile apps for national security reasons and violations of user privacy.

Is Resso app Chinese?

Resso is a music streaming app that has gained a lot of traction recently. The app offers a free tier for users that limits the audio quality to 128 kbps and also displays a bunch of advertisements. It also comes with a premium ad-free plan that offers an audio quality of 256 kbps and allows users to download and skip tracks.

The online music service was launched earlier this year by ByteDance, an internet technology company that also owns TikTok. The company is headquartered in Beijing, China. The app clearly comes from a Chinese developer and is also reported to be among the apps that will be suspended for use in India with the latest ban.
