Report: Apple will help create anti-spam app in India, to a limited extent, citing privacy concerns

<div class="feat-image">(https://9to5mac.files.wordpress.com/2017/08/appleiphone6india.jpeg?quality=82&strip=all&w=1500)</div><p>Apple has been fighting (https://9to5mac.com/2017/09/06/apple-india-iphone-anti-spam-app/) the Indian government over approving an iOS app to block spam calls and texts in the region for some time now. A new report from Reuters (http://www.reuters.com/article/us-apple-india-exclusive/exclusive-apple-to-help-india-develop-anti-spam-app-after-face-off-with-regulator-idUSKBN1DF122?feedType=RSS&amp;feedName=topNews&amp;utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+reuters%2FtopNews+%28News+%2F+US+%2F+Top+News%29) suggests that Apple has changed its tune slightly, agreeing to provide assistance to help make such an app, but with ‘limited capabilities’.</p>
<p>Apple does not want to give a third-party app access to iPhone call logs on privacy grounds, but it’s not clear what compromise has been reached.</p>
