The app has been banned in India due to security concerns. The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) has issued a notice to ban the app, stating that it is "prejudicial to sovereignty and integrity of India". CamScanner allows users to scan and save physical documents as digital files. However, the app has been found to be infected with malware that could allow hackers to gain access to a user's device. MeitY has advised all citizens to delete the app from their devices. CamScanner is not the only app to be banned in India recently. In April, the government also banned TikTok and 58 other Chinese apps over similar security concerns.
