A new report from Washington Post says that Apple is under pressure from the Indian government about notifications it sent to some iPhone users back in October. The notifications warned users about state-sponsored attacks and were sent to some prominent politically relevant personalities.

The report says Indian government officials quickly contacted Apple's India representatives to "help soften the political impact of the warnings". The report also says they also pressed the company's security expert to come up with alternative explainations for the warnings. Apple has been steadily increasing its footprint in India with manufacturing, retail stores, and more.
