Twitter-owned Vine was updated today on Android, bringing it closer to parity with the social media company’s recently updated iOS app. You’ll now have new camera tools, the ability to “revine” a post (similar to re-tweeting), access new Channels, and a brand new Capture Widget.
The new widget is designed to get you faster access to your Vine recording ability, shaving precious seconds off your launch of the Vine app.
The popular video sharing app Vine is now available to download on the Amazon app store, compatible with both the Kindle Fire and Kindle Fire HD. This announcement comes just days after a nifty update was introduced for Vine’s Android app, delivering the ability to use your device’s front-facing camera.
We had feared that Facebook’s ploy to ruin the Vine party by bringing video to Instagram would work, and according to data from Marketing Land, we were right. Since Instagram began supporting video on June 15, Vine sharing has tumbled by about 70%.
Vine has been updated on Google Play to enable front-facing camera support. Nothing else in the recording interface has been changed, except the addition of a simple ‘camera rotation’ button in the bottom left hand corner of the app.
Vine for Android received a pretty neat update on Friday night, bringing with it some much-needed performance optimizations, Facebook sharing, and the ability to clear your local cache.
