Vine launches for Android...through a Vine video as service reaches 13m users
Vine has announced the launch of the six second looping video tool for Android users.
Sara Haider, Android engineer at Vine, explained: “Though we’ve been very focused on releasing Vine for Android, we’ve continued to release updates and add new features to the iOS app. As a result, the two apps are not perfectly in sync, but that won’t be the case for long.
“Over the coming weeks, you’ll see frequent updates with new features –– including front-facing camera, search, mentions and hashtags, and the ability to share to Facebook –– as well as bug fixes and performance improvements. Of course, this is only the beginning –– we have exciting plans for features that could exist only on Android.”
The tool, which launched in January for iPhone users, has over 13 million users, according to a Vine blog.
