Did Google India commit a faux pas in its UIDAI statement?

in #uidai6 years ago (edited)

Hours after the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) denied that it forced any smartphone manufacturer or telecom service provider to add a helpline number into people’s contact lists, Google accepted that it had in 2014 inadvertently coded the 112 distress number and the UIDAI number into its setup wizard for Android.
“Users can manually delete the number from their devices.”
The statement said Google will work towards fixing this in an “upcoming release of SetUp wizard which will be made available to OEMs over the next few weeks”.e-aadhaar-1-1.jpg
