Bottom Line

Tango is both a messaging product a social network. It has an 18+ SaferKid age rating and is of particular concern because it allows people to "make new friends." It has an interface like Tinder for swiping if you like people, as well as public chat rooms with side, 1-to-1 chats.

You may use your Facebook identity, but you can also make up any identity you want, and there are no controls for even attempting to segment minors from adults.

Similar products, when used by minors, have led to child sexual assaults other horrific crimes. Minors should not use this product.

More Info

Here is an article from 2015 about a 22 year-old man who got a 13 year-old girl drunk and raped her. The two were communicating using Tango.
