Recently, Xiaomi landed in a controversy after some Indian cities and states which include Arunachal Pradesh went missing on its weather app. As soon as the issue was spotted smartphone maker was trolled brutally on Twitter.
The company was quick to clarify that the error was due to a technical glitch and has been rectified.
However, the social media users did not take it lightly and slammed Xiaomi for supporting China’s claim over Arunachal Pradesh. Notably, the Chinese foreign ministry had recently said that it does not recognise the Union Territory of Ladakh "illegally established" by India, and the state of Arunachal Pradesh.
Clarifying the issue Xiaomi said that the glitch was caused due to use of “data from multiple third-party sources”. The smartphone maker assured that it is committed to providing India and its users across the country with the best possible experience.
