An important information has been revealed about the fast becoming popular video sharing sharing app Friends (Mitron). According to the report of News18, this friends app that competes TikTok is not ‘Made in India’ nor is it made by any IIT student. News18 found that the complete source code of the Friends app, which has all the features and user interfaces, has been purchased from the Pakistani software company Qboxus. According to Qboxus founder and chief executive Irrfan Sheikh, his company has sold the source code of the app to the promoters of friends for $ 34, or about Rs 2,600.
Speaking to News18, Sheikh said, ‘We expect our customers to create some product of their own using our code, but the developer of friends took our product right away. They just changed their logo and uploaded it to their store.
Sheikh also said that there is no problem with what the developer has done, because he paid for the script, which he used. But the problem is that people are calling it an Indian app, which is not true, and especially when they have not changed it. Sheikh further confirmed that the company sold the app to friends at codecanyon for $ 34, which is about Rs 2,600.
