Completely disagree with your opinion towards the developers.

Developers are not responsible about finalising the app designs. It's the designers job. Atleast in a big company as Jio.

Most importantly, the whole thing about copying is related to the look and feel of the app. I'm sure every developer will understand that the applications may look same as per the UI but they are never same in backend which is the real work of a developer.

So please stop blaming developers. And the latest app design of JioMeet shows how easy it is to change the UI.

Yeah I know developer is mean to be perform backend work but at least they can suggest an Idea. As a developer, I also suggest sometime new ideas for the same project and sometime I got number of likes on it. I know all developers thought about the same design thus they may perform backend in unique way but all that User interact with frontend not with the backend. So as per them, it is an exact replica of Chinese application.

Agree that developers can suggest some ideas but it is still upto the seniors and managers to approve of that idea. So, developers may not have been heard, even if someone really suggested something.
