PM Narendra Modi also had an account on Vibo, but he closed it amid growing tensions with China. In the backdrop of violent clashes between Indian and Chinese soldiers in the Galvan Valley in eastern Ladakh, the government had banned 59 mobile apps from China, including TickTalk, UC Browser, Hello, Likey, Share It, We Chat, Cam Scanner and Popular apps like Mi Community were included.
