Instagram Debuts New Video-Editing App
Apple said apps developed by ByteDance and its subsidiaries would no longer be available for download or updates on the US app store from Sunday.
Instagram head Adam Mosseri just announced a video editing app called Edits. Mosseri said the app is meant to rival CapCut, a video editing app that went offline along with TikTok. Edits is available for preorder on the iOS App Store.
Unless its owner agrees to sell, TikTok will be banned in the U.S. on Jan. 19. Here's how to download your account if no one buys the app.
Instagram announced a new video editing app, called Edits, on the same day that rival video service TikTok briefly went dark in response to a US federal ban.
The app features a dedicated tab for creative inspiration and idea tracking, a high-quality camera for content recording, and advanced editing options, including green screen capabilities and video overlays.
The updates could mark an effort to attract users to spend more time on the platform amid uncertainty over the future of TikTok.
Instagram has come out with its own video editing app called Edits. The app will feature a variety of creative tools and watermark-free exports. It is available for preorder in the iOS App Store and set to launch next month.
Instagram head Adam Mosseri has announced its new video editing software, Edits. The announcement came on the same day when ByteDance-owned social media platform TikTok and video editing software CapCut, were removed from App Store and Play Store in the US.
Even as the future of TikTok remains unclear, Meta has rushed out an alternative to CapCut while Apple continues to do nothing to promote Clips eight years after its debut.
While TikTok remains hugely popular in Brazil, Indonesia and other markets, its 170 million users in the United States are its most valuable.
Edits is only available for pre-order download from the Apple App Store. In time, it will become available in the Google Play Store.
