A day after the Government banned several Chinese apps, popular short-form video app Mitron reported that its
daily traffic jumped up by more than 11 times.
Just 5 days after crossing the 10 million (1 crore) downloads milestone, Mitron has now announced that the app has been downloaded by 17 million (1.7 crore) users in India. Mitron app has been one of the most downloaded apps in India during the last two months.
