Google has been concerned about India’s decision as the steps are seen as more sweeping than those imposed in the European Commission’s 2018 ruling
New Delhi — Google said on Friday that it would co-operate with India’s competition authority after the country’s top court upheld an antitrust order forcing the US firm to change how it markets its popular Android platform.
On Thursday, Google lost a challenge in the Supreme Court to block the directives, getting seven days to comply. “We are reviewing the details of yesterday’s decision which is limited to interim relief and did not decide the merits of our appeal,” Google said, adding that it would continue to pursue its legal challenge to the Android decision.
About 97% of 600-million smartphones in India run on Android, according to Counterpoint Research estimates. Apple has just a 3% share.

He also accused the rebels of faking their withdrawal, according to Reuters. This while Deutsche Welle reports that Eastern European military personnel are staying at a hotel near the airport of Goma in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. The presence of white-armed men sparked rumours that the government hired the notorious Russian mercenary Wagner Group to help fight the rebels. Diplomatic circles have been speculating for weeks on the meaning of the presence of these armed Eastern European men in Goma amid a new round of fighting in eastern DRC. The war erupted last spring after Tutsi rebels of the M23 (March 23 Movement) seized a vast swath of land along the border with neighboring Rwanda and Uganda. The Congo's army has been incurring heavy losses in the fighting. Congolese President Felix Tshisekedi has consistently denied the presence of Wagner mercenaries on his country's territory. The Wagner Group is seen as Russia's "shadow army". It is stationed at the frontlines in the Ukraine war and has been accused of committing war crimes and crimes against humanity there. In Africa, Wagner mercenaries have been hired to help fight insurgents in Mali and rebels in the Central African Republic.
