MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA — (Marketwired) — 07/16/13 — , the leading messaging and entertainment app, is launching new social-networking features to enhance experiences among more than 130 million Tango members. Today-s release follows Tango-s recent introduction of a new platform for mobile app developers in the gaming industry, which signaled the company-s evolution from a leading messaging app into a broad-based ecosystem combining social networking, communications and entertainment.
The new social enhancements that Tango members will enjoy:
Tango members will now be able to easily find friends or connect with new friends who are located nearby. This feature allows members to easily connect without having to type in contact information. Perfect for situations where you meet new friends such as in classrooms, on vacation, or attending a party.

For the first time in a messaging app, members can sit virtually side-by-side with friends and family and flip through pictures during a video or voice call. This makes sharing pictures an interactive, real-time experience.
