They don’t have to. Bigo is under a Federal Investigation.
Doubt very seriously if this app is coming back.
In regards to both apps they are aware of the doxing, fraud and now sexual abuse with children.
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

Why is it not on the App Store I want to on my phone
Because, as has been stated several times above, it was removed from the App Store, allegedly for being involved in criminal activity.
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?

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

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
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.
Hello~ I would not hold my breath on this being available any time soon in Apple App Store. I would also encourage you to use an abundance of caution having any type of “communications” with these people.

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.
This thread isn’t about TiKToK. It’s not up for debate because Bigo is under a federal investigation for money laundering, crimes against children to name a few. Bigo is banned in other countries and facing criminal charges.
Now that App stores are aware, the expectation is Bigo is never allowed back on any platform.
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
It’s true.

Or, do we assume you have read through the comments and find the behavior totally acceptable and don't find it to be a problem for you.
