The GetApps store is available on Xiaomi, Redmi and Poco smartphones, about which users of these brands have filed many complaints on the forum. There are massive advertisements in this app store, which is why users have expressed their discontent. To overcome this problem of users, Xiaomi has decided to integrate the PhonePe Indus app store on its devices. This app store will replace GetApps found on HyperOS. However, this will also affect Google.

Google Play Store is available as the default app store on Android smartphones from Xiaomi or any other brand. Google takes advantage of this and charges arbitrary fees to app developers. Complaints have been filed many times against Google for violation of antitrust rules in many countries, including India. This Indus app store by PhonePe charges less to the app developers so they will get a huge relief.
PhonePe’s Indus app store will be available on Xiaomi, Redmi and Poco smartphones available in India starting January. The company claims that users will get a seamless experience thanks to this. Please note that GetApps is currently not compatible with any Xiaomi devices. The user interface of PhonePe’s Indus app store is quite friendly, so users will not face any problem installing the app on their phones.
