ECONOMIC TIMES - July 21 - A new ecosystem of 'Live video chat' apps has silently garnered millions of users. These apps allow users to video-call strangers. Four such apps - Chamet, LivU, WHO, and Azar - are among the top 10 grossing apps on the Play Store in India right now. According to Sensor Tower, leading apps in this category make between $200K and $300K a month in revenue from India via in-app purchases. A lot of user reviews for these apps on Google Play Store allege that they send racy messages through in-built chatbots or showcase fake profiles to lure users. Some even urge Google to look into these apps to check for malpractice.
