Likee, Bigo Live suspend services, TikTok says no legal action

New Delhi: Short-video platform Likee on Thursday said it has temporarily pulled off the app from Google Play and Apple App Stores and has suspended its service in India.

Likee, a product of BIGO Technology Pte Ltd, is one of the 59 Chinese apps banned by the Indian government.

“We respect the Indian government’s order and have temporarily taken off Likee from Google Play and App Store, and have suspended service in India until there is further clarity provided on this matter,” the company said in a statement.

Stressing that it works under Singapore-based BIGO Technology Pte Ltd, Likee said that it held “utmost priority to adherence to all the local laws as well as users’ privacy and data security”.
