Not a fun app to use

Not a fun app to use. If you even look like your having fun they give you unnecesary bans. And do not support the hosts or give credit wherr credit is due. The community is full of fake bots whondont even support the hosts only watch kn like a big brother without sending beans to the hosts. There are too many people that go on your lives that also pretent thst they will support you and just leave the livem there are too many fske people therr not looking to support one another. The bigo staff should treat hosts withbkore respect. They support more peoppe on there swearing at people then genuine nice people just having fun. It is a very toxic app

Bigo scam

I did not receive my salary due to JazzCash's daily limit restrictions. On February 7th, I successfully received one payment, but my second withdrawal was rejected because the daily limit was full. As a result, the amount was returned to the sender instead of being credited to my account. I have proof of my transaction history and withdrawal details, including screenshots, confirming that I did not receive the payment. I kindly request that my salary be resent as I urgently need the funds. Please address this issue as soon as possible. But the bigo support team have not any action.

good so far.

good so far.
been an officially signed host for nearly four years. where I had bad and good days. My best years in Bigo App, were 2021-2023. I enjoy doing my channel. Meeting new people. However, there are plenty of activities that I miss doing. Activities that earn bean rewards. I hope they can bring back those. It helps a lot in meeting the host's bean target.

Bigo allows people children to be posted on broadcasts

You would think bigo being off the app stores would really change their policy but they haven’t and it’s disgusting. They will tell you to report a person during the live but it does nothing. It’s a lot a disturbing behavior. They also allow adults to put other people’s children as their background with no penalizing and often lie about penalizing these broadcasters. Imagine logging in and seeing your child on a random adult background while their live ? Bigo doesn’t protect children on this adult platform. I wish bigo was a more enjoyable environment but it isn’t. Ban host ID: Pr3tti3y3z for exploiting other peoples children on an adult platform.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME

I’ve emailed bigo a numerous amount of times of the harassment I’ve received from a host. I wanted to kill myself and was being told to do so from said host behind fake accounts. I’ve gotten spam reported for the entire time I’ve been on bigo. I’ve sent in videos of this person riding around a friends house of mine showing her apartment. I also had this person contact people from my real life and harass them and sent bigo the proof. In the middle of me about to invest 20-50k Im given two different reasons why I randomly got banned. Cannot wait for me to file this lawsuit. I’ve been up all night looking for lawyers.. I advise you people to do the same. Stop complaining start suing. Also I will be using these review to show how bigo does not care when it comes to people’s mental health, bullying and harassment on the app.

My BIGO live account age problem.

BIGO LIVE logo

Reply from BIGO LIVE

BIGO LIVE has strict age requirements for user safety. Here are the key points about age restrictions:
 The minimum age requirement for BIGO LIVE is 18 years old.
 If your jurisdiction requires a higher age limit, you must comply with local laws.
The platform uses functionality and security measures to identify users not meeting the age limit.
If you're experiencing age-related issues with your account, you have two options:
1. If you meet the age requirements but are facing technical difficulties, please email the details to feedback@bigo.tv
2. If you are under 18 years old, you should not use the platform.

Important Note
Creating false age information or attempting to circumvent age verification systems violates BIGO LIVE's Terms of Service. The platform takes these violations seriously to maintain a safe environment for all users.

Bigo is mind and soul destroying...

I used Bigo for 2yrs - At first it was fun but then it became so addictive that it effected my mental health and even work/personal life. I'd be up all night talking to people who didn't even share the same lifestyle and views as me, the kind of people who'd be up all night, asleep all day and claim benefits! I became someone I never wanted to be and wouldn't have even spoken to in real life. Sometimes I'd be running in 1hrs or no sleep at all. The app is full of trolls, fake accounts, swearing/cursing, exposing inncoent children/family/people,non intellectual conversation, hate, crime, underage kids, pedophiles, sex, drink, alcohol, sex offenders etc.. Every friend I thought I'd made turned out to be fake, I've done nothing but waste my time and energy defending my innocence and even ended up drinking so much staying up all night to fight back - I finally deleted the app and chose peace instead .. I haven't felt more better in a long time and look forward to living and being calm again.. Good riddance

Highly Untrustworthy App – Scammy Practices & Privacy Concerns

I’ve been using BIGO Live for over three years, and my experience has been nothing short of disappointing. The app is riddled with scammers and fraudulent activity, and the management shows zero transparency or accountability in addressing these issues. Despite repeatedly reporting scams, my complaints were ignored, and no action was taken.

The platform is filled with users looking to exploit others, and there seems to be no real effort from the company to ensure user safety or combat the rampant scams. In addition, there are serious concerns about privacy – the app collects an alarming amount of personal information, and it's unclear how that data is used or protected.

What's worse, BIGO Live has been known to manipulate user engagement and payments, leaving many people, including myself, out of pocket. I've lost thousands of dollars through their deceptive practices.

For a platform that claims to be about "live interaction," BIGO Live is a complete disaster when it comes to user security, transparency, and fairness. I strongly advise against using this app, as it is not only a scammy environment but also puts your personal data at risk. Avoid at all costs.

Do Better!!!

Bigo gives me the impression that the bigo app doesn’t have human H.R. which leaves room for many errors when handling the Judgment of users accounts. My account has been repeatedly attacked by bigo and/or users. Each negative encounter i have had with bigo resulted to me being cleared. i literally have to screenshot everything to have proof that they constantly are hurting not only my page but my businesses. i don't understand why they give the option to extract a video from links if the process is never successful. i had to fight to get a ten year ban off of my page. i post many of my affiliate links which seems like they have a problem with. Bigo has been giving me a hard time for at least a year now.
