If it’s not available in the App Store in your country, you don’t.

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.

i need tango

It is a good thing you came here, so you realize that it is not available in the App Store to download. Otherwise you would be wasting your time trying to figure out how to get the app. At least now, you know your only option is to access it on the web. Not sure how you missed the information that had already been provided before posting though.

It got off loaded when I woke up this morning

Go to Settings > App Store > Offload Unused Apps. It this switch is turned on, then apps will automatically be offloaded when they have not been used recently and is more likely to happen when space becomes constrained on your phone.


As for getting it back, that will not be possible since it is no longer available in the App Store.

It's very likely this app will not come back to Apple any time soon.

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.

when will the Tango program be restored in the App store

Depends on if the developer can submit the app to meet the Submission Guidelines. It is not that tough as BIGO Live and many other similar apps have done it. You would have to contact the developer to see if that is something they are willing to do. Any time an app is rejected from the App Store, Apple communicates with the developer for the reason and gives them the opportunity to make a correction. You cannot expect Apple to disclose their conversations with the developer, but the developer could surely do that if they wanted to. You can review the Submission Guidelines yourself here:
