Why is bigo live off the App Store?

If you go to your Apple Store and click on my apps and hit the area that says not downloaded, and search for bigo app it’ll pop up and you can re download it

According to Wikipedia it says that in December of 2024, bigo was shut down due to non-compliance with advertising regulations and multiple violations of content guidelines and sexual harassment and predators, scammers

Did you really not read anything here before posting?

no it doesn’t, they permanently removed the app entirely from all devices due to content guidelines violations and vulgar pictures of people getting leaked

Because, as has been stated several times above, it was removed from the App Store, allegedly for being involved in criminal activity.

I follow several BIGO host on X and none of them have mentioned anything BIGO being removed. They didn’t advise people not to delete the app. Unfortunately, I had already deleted my app.

Then you will have to wait and see. Deleting an app requires it to be downloaded again in the App Store and if it is no longer available there, you will no longer be able to get the app. You would need to ask the people you communicate with why they did not advise you to not delete the app.

How can I download the bigo live app on my Apple Store

The answer to that will require reading. I suggest start at the first page, it gets interesting in the middle. By the time you reach the end you will have your answer.

I can’t get on my BIGO live account on my facebook at all so can you please help me get back on please

Apple has no control over what is available on Facebook. I can think of one company that might be able to provide that answer. You are just not looking in the correct place.

Tried reinstalling bigo live but couldn’t find it in the App Store. Same issue

Did you really not read the information provided here before posting? A lot can be learned by reading, but not much by just posting. You can start on page 1 and may be surprised on what you learn or maybe not.

Unfortunately they remove Bigo off both play store and Apple Store then but they put back on play store not on apple store 😥

Actually it was fortunate that it was remove by both App Stores. Not sure if you are defending the action of publishing the sexual assault of children as they were being investigated for, but the only thing unfortunate was that this was allowed on that platform. Hopefully they are able to make the necessary changes on the platform to prevent further victimization.

It’s true, they shut down bigo live ( for good reason) due to multiple allegations and multiple violations of content guidelines in December of 2024

Hello~ There’s an excellent chance others will be investigated. Many apps of this nature are also being closely watched.

It’s true.

No it won't. Apps that have been removed from the store cannot be redownloaded.

Just go to BIGO.tv on your web browser and you will be able to download the app

Not true! The app is not available in the App Store, so you will not be able to download it. Not sure what region you are in, and if there maybe different restrictions based on region, but you will not get it in the US App Store.
