ByteDance to discontinue Vigo Video in India by October-end
Users of the short video app can export their content on to TikTok
ByteDance has decided to pull shutters on its short video app Vigo Video in India by October-end 2020.
It has already shut down operations in Brazil and the Middle East.
In a post, Vigo Video said: “Users can export their content on to TikTok and continue with their creativity with a seamless experience on India's leading short video sharing platform, giving them vast exposure and interactivity with a larger user base.”
It further said, “moving forward we have decided to focus energy and resources on other businesses.”
Users on Vigo Video will be informed about the app shutting via in-app notifications with detailed instructions on downloading their personal data or deleting their account permanently, including videos, personal information, chat history and their favourite list, the company has said.
