Order of August 19, 2025 No. 2241-r
From September 1, the Max digital platform will be included in the list of programs required for pre-installation on electronic devices in 2025. The order to this effect was signed by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin.
In the list of such programs, Max will replace VK Messenger, which has been there since 2023.
The development of the Max digital platform is being carried out in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Law “On the creation of a multifunctional information exchange service and on amendments to certain legislative acts of the Russian Federation”, which was signed by the President at the end of June 2025.
It is planned that a multifunctional information exchange service will operate on the basis of Max. It will provide secure communication in the messenger and access to convenient digital services from the state and business.
Also, from September 1, 2025, the domestic RuStore application store will become mandatory for pre-installation on equipment using iOS and HyperOS operating systems. Until now, RuStore was reinstalled on equipment that works with Android and HarmonyOS operating systems.
By another order, the Government approved a list of programs that must be pre-installed on electronic devices in 2026. One digital product was added to it – from January 1, 2026, Lime HD TV will be installed on TVs with a digital control unit.
