Social media apps X and Bluesky are both rolling out dedicated video feeds, in apparent attempts to take advantage of the continued uncertainty around TikTok.
With X, there’s a new play button icon launching a continuous video feed looking very similar to TikTok, while Bluesky offers custom feeds for video which you can choose to pin …
X tweeted its announcement today, with a brief video demo.
An immersive new home for videos is rolling out to users in the US today
The play button appears at the bottom of the app, between the Grok and notification buttons, as seen above.
Bluesky says it “had to get in on the video action too” in its own announcement.
We had to get in on the video action too — Bluesky now has custom feeds for video! Like any other feed, you can choose to pin these or not. Bluesky is yours to customize.
Both moves are clearly a response to the continued uncertainty over the future of TikTok. You can catch up on the weekend’s events here, but the app remains unavailable in app stores and even if Trump delivers a promised 90-day suspension of the US ban, that only delays things.
China remains adamant that it will not sell US operations to an American company, and would rather take it offline than do so, while the law says that it must do so or be banned from the US.
