The social media platforms X and Bluesky are launching specialized video feeds, likely in response to the ongoing uncertainty surrounding TikTok.
X is introducing a new play button that activates a continuous video feed reminiscent of TikTok, whereas Bluesky is providing customizable video feeds that users can pin as they like.
X shared its announcement today along with a brief video demonstration.
We are rolling out an engaging new home for videos to users in the US today.
The play button is located at the bottom of the app, sitting between the Grok and notification icons, as illustrated above.
In a similar vein, Bluesky announced that it also “needs to join the video trend.”
We need to join the video trend — Bluesky now features custom video feeds! Like all feeds, you can opt to pin these. Bluesky is fully customizable for you.
These actions are evidently a reaction to TikTok’s ongoing uncertainties. You can stay updated on the recent developments here; however, the app currently remains unavailable in app stores. Even if Trump carries out a promised 90-day suspension of the US ban, that merely postpones the situation.
China has firmly declared that it will not divest its US operations to an American entity, preferring to take it offline instead of complying, while legislation indicates that it must either sell or face a ban in the US.
