Lockdown on the latest addition to short-form video apps- Google’s Tangi

Google’s in-house incubator Area 120 recently launched its short-video platform called Tangi.

The name is derived from the words TeAch aNd GIve and “tangible”—things you can make,” according to 9to5Google.

Its the latest addition to a range of short-form video apps after the Vine reboot Byte which was launched earlier this month.

Google’s Tangi, in concept similar to short-video format TikTok, is a platform focused mainly on DIY and how-to videos for categories such as crafting, painting, cooking, fashion, beauty, etc. TechCrunch reported.

In essence, Tangi is a little closer to Pinterest than it is to TikTok. Creators can upload how-to or DIY vertical videos up to one minute long. Users can then browse these videos through perpetual scrolling as per Gadgets Now.
