Since its inception, the company’s flagship service Yango Ride has grown to operate in more than 25 countries. Its business model focuses on collaborating with local taxi companies, enhancing their efficiency through technology rather than owning vehicles or employing drivers directly.{{Cite web |date=2019-06-27 |title=Ride-hailing app Yango launches in Bucharest |url=http://business-review.eu/business/auto/ride-hailing-app-yango-launches-in-bucharest-202665 |access-date=2020-01-15 |website=Business Review |language=ro}}{{Cite web |last=כפיר |first=-דפנה הראל |date=2019-05-22 |title=אפליקציית המוניות יאנגו השיקה שירות חדשני: הנוסע יודע את מחיר הנסיעה מראש [Taxi app Yango has launched innovative service: the traveler knows the fare in advance] |url=https://poenta.co.il/2019/05/22/yango-fixed-price/ |access-date=2020-01-22 |website=פואנטה |language=he-IL}} By empowering local partners to optimize their operations, Yango Ride began supporting the development of small and medium-sized businesses in its initial markets as early as 2018.

In 2021, Yango launched its ride-hailing platform in Norway{{Cite web |last=Svendsen |first=Helle Lyng |date=2021-07-23 |title=Yango lanserer taxitjeneste i Norge: Vil konkurrere på pris |url=https://www.nettavisen.no/12-95-3424157886 |access-date=2022-06-08 |website=Nettavisen |language=no}} and rolled out its grocery delivery service in Paris and London.{{Cite web |date=2021-10-14 |title=Yango Deli Arrives in London |url=https://www.rli.uk.com/yango-deli-arrives-in-london/ |access-date=2024-09-25 |website=Retail & Leisure International |language=en-US}}
In 2022, the company closed express delivery services for groceries in Britain and France, shifting to a B2B model focused on Q-commerce, e-commerce, and retail solutions under the Yango Tech brand.{{Cite web |title=Yandex closes delivery services in Paris, London, to sell technologies |url=https://interfax.com/newsroom/top-stories/82073/ |access-date=2024-11-02 |website=interfax.com}}
In August 2023 the Norwegian and Finnish data privacy authorities told Yango to stop processing data about their citizens in Russia, after the Russian government introduced a legal duty for the company to deliver personal information to the Russian Federal Security Service.{{Cite web |date=2023-08-08 |title=Datatilsynet: – Taxiteneste overfører personopplysningar om norske innbyggjarar til Russland [Data Protection Authority: - Taxi service transfers personal information about Norwegian residents to Russia] |url=https://www.nrk.no/urix/meduza_-taxiselskap-gir-fsb-tilgang-pa-data-om-norske-kundar-i-september-1.16509531 |access-date=2023-08-08 |website=NRK |language=no}} However, the Finnish regulator later clarified that the legislation did not apply to taxi services, leading to the decision not to enforce the ban. Similarly, Norway, which had considered implementing a comparable ban, chose not to issue a formal order. As of 2025, the service continues to operate in both countries.{{Cite web |title=Finland lifts ban on transferring Yandex data to Russia |url=https://www.reuters.com/technology/finland-lifts-ban-transferring-yandex-data-russia-2023-09-26/ |website=www.reuters.com}}
