Battlegrounds Mobile India (in short form BGMI, previously known as PUBG Mobile India) is an online multiplayer battle royal game developed and published by Krafton. The game is exclusively for Indian users. The iOS version of this game seems to be not happening.

History
On September 2, 2020, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, Government of India banned PUBG Mobile along with 117 Chinese applications stating that the apps were engaged in activities that were prejudicial and threat to sovereignty and integrity of India, defense of India, security of the state and public order under Section 69A of the Information Technology Act.
In November 2020, some news came that PUBG Mobile was coming back to India named PUBG Mobile India. On November 24, 2020, a piece of news published in The Times of India, that reported PUBG Corporation and South Korea’s video game company Krafton Inc. have registered PUBG India Private Limited[12] under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Government of India to relaunch PUBG Mobile in India.
In May 2021, it came to notice that PUBG Mobile was rebranding itself as Battlegrounds Mobile India to enter the Indian gaming market. After that on May 7, 2021, a piece of news by The Indian Express reported that Krafton confirmed in a press statement that they were going to launch Battlegrounds Mobile India, a similar game to PUBG Mobile.

The game was announced on 6 May 2021. The pre-registration of the game was started for Android users on 18 May 2021, and the early access beta version of the game was released on 17 June 2021 only for Android users. The game was released on 2 July 2021 for Android devices. However, it is being reported that Krafton is not working to release its iOS version. Krafton also didn’t make any official statement on the release of BGMI, the iOS version and it seems that we cannot see BGMI on the iOS platform.
