TRAI's DND App Still Unavailable on Apple's App Store - What's Going On?

TRAI's DND App Still Unavailable on Apple's App Store - What's Going On?
In the present era, where we are persistently inundated with unsolicited phone calls and messages, a dependable DND (Do Not Disturb) application is an essential requirement. That's why the TRAI DND app was a game-changer when it was first launched. However, the application was not functioning properly and noticeably slow/unresponsive during the end. Only after few news coverage that it was evident that the application was removed from Apple’s app store due to non-compliance and lack application updates to support latest version of iOS. 

It is astonishing that such a critical application has been inaccessible for an extended period without any apparent clarification from TRAI. The impact of the app's absence was largely felt, as the app had the functionality to report spam calls and messages. With the unavailability of the app, it has become very complicated to report calls and messages and the number of spam calls/SMS has also considerably increased. 

Has TRAI abandoned the app? Is it still being worked on? It's frustrating to be left in the dark about something as important as a DND app that we all rely on.

In conclusion, it's time for TRAI to provide some clarity on the status of the DND app. Whether it's developing a newer version of the app, addressing technical difficulties, or just discontinuing the application, consumers should be informed of the situation. Without any updates, it's hard to remain confident in the app's usefulness and effectiveness. Let's hope that TRAI will address this issue soon and restore the DND app to its rightful place on the App Store.
