Popular Vigo Video app to shut down in India; users asked to download TikTok

ByteDance is shutting down its popular Vigo Video app in India. The report comes from Entrackr first. The TikTok parent company is directing both Vigo Video and Vigo Lite app users to download TikTok instead, which has millions of users in the country right now. Vigo is set to shutdown service later this year in October.

The company in an in-app announcement informed users that the Vigo Video app will shut down on October 31 this year. In addition to the message, the prompt also includes a download link for TikTok so that users who still wish to use a short video platform can create an account on TikTok. This is making it easy for users to move from Vigo app to TikTok.
