TikTok's Google Play ratings are down to 1.3 stars from 4.5 stars a few days back.

TikTok received as many as 4 million new comments on Google Play Store — with most of them being negative.

However, even if the rating of the short-video platform falls to 1 star it is highly unlikely that it will be removed from Google Play store.

Millions of people in India are bombarding 1 star along with negative comments about TikTok on the Google Play Store. So much so that the ratings of the app is down to 1.3 stars from 4.5 stars a few days back.

TikTok received as many as 4 million new comments on Google Play Store — with most of them being negative. However, even if the rating of the short-video platform falls to 1 star it is highly unlikely that it will be removed from Google Play store.

“An app with 1 star rating will still be available for download even after it gets poor ratings. However, there will be a huge impact on future downloads of the apps as most of it is dependent on reviews,” Vivek Shah who develops applications told Business Insider India.

Moreover, there are several instances which suggest that the massive amount of 1-star reviews be removed if the rating falls to 1.

The Zoom app experience

Zoom, the video calling app which saw 1900% user growth during quarantine, has been in such a situation two months back. Zoom faced a lot of heat for its unresolved security concerns which used to let hackers barge into any video calls.

Thousands of people dropped negative comments which brought the ratings down from 4.5 star to 2.0. However, the ratings were back to 4.0 a few days later — more so Google did not comment on how that happened.

Another similar incident happened in China, where thousands of students gave negative comments about DingTalk on the Apple play store to escape online classes. However, it was available for download even after that.
