And cannot be re-downloaded, as the Tango app is not available in the Apple App Store.


You can use whatever web interface the service might offer, but you will have to discuss the return of an app to the Apple App Store with Tango support.

As of March 2025 it looks like Apple completely terminated their relationship with Tango. The app cannot be installed even if it was previously installed. This is different from the app being temporarily delisted like before, this time it looks like a more permanent removal.


Tango also removed the "Sign in with Apple" option on their website. This is further evidence their relationship with Apple is over for now.


It's very likely this app will not come back to Apple any time soon. It's still available on the Google Play store and via the website.

Just depends on if the developer is able to submit the app that meets the Submission Guidelines just like every other app must do. If an app is removed by Apple, the developer will get an email that explains what violations have occurred and are given an opportunity to update the app. It may just be that the developer does not want to make those changes. Only the developer knows the reason as Apple does not disclose the communications with a developer. Similar apps such as BIGO Live did update their app and were made available again in the App Store.

True, but you can see other apps like BIGO, LiveMe, etc are still available but Tango was removed.
I think Apple terminated the developer account for Tango and it's more serious than failing an app review.

Only the developer would know. BIGO had their app removed and had no problem getting it reinstated by following the guidance provided by Apple. Tango would have the same opportunity as any of the other apps in the same category. That says more about Tango than it does Apple.


Other than that, what you have provided is pure speculation on what you think happened. A developer account can be terminated for egregious violations of the Terms of Use or for illegal activity, but there is no indication that was the case either and if there was then we could only thank Apple for taking action.
