Google Launches a New Video App Tangi

The unexpected success of Tiktok has added a unique essence to the art of video making. Several market players are developing similar applications, Google being the newest entrant in this market space. 

Google has recently launched a social video sharing app ‘Tangi’, which comes from its experimental lab area 120. With Tangi, Google aims at providing multiple services like DIY (Do It Yourself) videos, art, and tutorials of various categories under one umbrella. Its main functionality is inspired by Pinterest and Tiktok, however, unlike Tik Tok users will be able to make 60 mins videos with Tangi. 

“Teach and give tangible offerings” is the underlying thought which led to the development of Google’s Tangi video making app.

If you love creativity, Tangi is a must-have app for you. This video making app is a blessing for skilled people who are always looking for a platform to showcase their creative and innovative side.

What Makes Tangi So Special? 

Google promises that the app is developed to help people productively use their free time and at the same time put their creative side on work. Its “Try It” feature is what makes it different from other Tiktok.

The app also provides you the details of the number of views and likes on a particular video. Additionally, you can also see the details of the videos you liked from the “Like” section in your profile.
