Mobile games will be able to use Tango as a social layer, allowing players to chat with one another, post on leaderboards, and invite friends to games. This will work similarly to Apple&#8217;s Game Center, but its strength will come from its cross-platform abilities.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-42737\" title=\"candy block breaker tango platform\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2013\/06\/candy-block-breaker-tango-platform-1024x909.jpg\" alt=\"candy block breaker tango platform\" width=\"600\" height=\"532\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2013\/06\/candy-block-breaker-tango-platform-1024x909.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2013\/06\/candy-block-breaker-tango-platform-300x266.jpg 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2013\/06\/candy-block-breaker-tango-platform.jpg 1153w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe launch of our platform is a significant moment for Tango,\u201d said <a title=\"uri raz linkedin\" href=\"http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pub\/uri-raz\/6\/360\/185\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Uri Raz<\/a>, Tango co-founder and CEO. \u201cWe have married messaging with entertainment, moving us closer to our goal of becoming a destination for family and friends.

While the games are designed to work with Tango, users don&#8217;t have to have Tango installed to play them. But for the best experience, users will want to install the Tango app to enjoy all of the new features of the Tango platform. Logging in with Tango is as simple as tapping, &#8220;Connect with Tango.&#8221; If you have Tango installed, it will share your credentials with the game.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-42784\" title=\"jetpack jinx combined\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2013\/06\/jetpack-jinx-combined-1024x908.jpg\" alt=\"jetpack jinx combined\" width=\"600\" height=\"531\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2013\/06\/jetpack-jinx-combined-1024x908.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2013\/06\/jetpack-jinx-combined-300x266.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>At the moment, only two games will support&#8217;s Tango&#8217;s new platform.
