Tango is a third-party,[2] cross platform messaging application software for smartphones developed by TangoME, Inc. in 2009. The app is free and began as one of the first providers of video calls, texting, photo sharing, and games on a 3G network.[3][4][5]

As of 2018, Tango has more than 400 million registered users.[6][7][8][4] It was rated by PCMag as "the simplest mobile chat application out there, with a good range of support."[5]

In 2017, Tango entered the live-streaming space, and has become a B2C platform for Live Video Broadcasts, combining high-quality video streaming, a live messaging chat and a digital economy.
