At the beginning of the year, the Google team launched Tangi, a cross between TikTok and Pinterest. The idea behind this social network is to share short videos with DIY-style tutorials and tips to learn something new every day.
When it was launched it was only available in its web version and for iOS users, but the Android app has already been released.
