Apple has finally allowed the TRAI’s DND-Do Not Disturb application on App Store and now, iPhone and iPad users can block pesky telemarketing calls and SMSs.
In June, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) had threatened sanctions on Apple and ban iPhones in India if the latter did not oblige include DND — Do Not Disturb-registration app for iOS on App store.
After receiving several complaints from citizens over the pesky telemarketing calls, TRAI introduced an app for the people to complain and also register in the DND-Do Not Disturb registry. But, it was initially available for Android on Google Play, as Apple, which is very strict on user privacy refused the entry of the DND app in the iOS App Store, as it deemed the application to be intrusive and it used to ask for access to messages and call details.
