The entire India mobile gaming community is ecstatic after the Early Access for Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) was rolled out on June 17th, 2021. Once users join the beta program, they will be able to download it directly from the Google Play Store.

No official revelations have been made by developers about the game's release date for the iOS platform, leaving fans in despair.

Since the Early Access release, some websites and videos have claimed to offer players a way to play the game or its global variant on Jio phones. However, it is rather evident that they are fake, and there is no way to play Battlegrounds Mobile India on this device.

To sum it up, the device's specifications are not at par with Battlegrounds Mobile India's (BGMI) minimum requirements, making it impossible to download or play the new battle royale title on the Jio phone.

Therefore, Jio phone users shouldn't waste their time trying to play Battlegrounds Mobile India on their device, as there is no way to do so.

Moreover, they should not download fake game files into their device, as it can pose a severe risk to their privacy. In addition, these fakes might contain viruses that might harm the user's device.
