Vine introduces direct and private video messaging
The video social network of Vine takes a new step in its evolution and once again stands face to face with Instagram And it is inevitable to resume the battle between video applications when I came, months afterInstagram has introduced its messaging feature Instagram Direct, now introduces its own direct messaging service. A feature that the most regular users of the social network of six-second videos, which is now even more social, if possible.
And that's because Vine introduces direct messages to both Android and iOS A feature that allows you to be in direct contact with other users of the application in a private and simple way, either through messages with text or, of course, video messages of six seconds. A whole point in favor to get users to use this tool more and not only in a public and open way. We tell you how it works below.
Once the Vine app is updated, a new icon appears in the upper right corner next to recording videos. Pressing it displays the menu of Vine Messages or VM Here you can find everything you need to start conversations and video conversations although not in real time.It is possible to create content that you do not want to publish for the rest of the users with the record button, collecting six seconds of video with all the classic features ofVine and then choose different contacts to send it to along with a short description. This creates withconversations with all chosen users, but always individual and private with each one of them.
Another option offered from this screen is to directly select any of the contacts or users you follow on Vine This is how you accesses the conversation window, where you can choose using the icons at the bottom if you want to send a message with text only or, otherwise, send asmall video of six seconds All this being able to see the results on the conversation screen and answer instantly as if from WhatsAppin question.
Along with this, there are other interesting issues related to Vine Messages For example, it is possible to share through these conversations anyforeign content to the user. Simply select the share option on a public video and select Vine Message to send it to anyone contact. In addition, these messages are not limited to users of Vine When choosing a contact to whom to send a direct and private message, it is possible to do so through a link in a SMS text message or a email to reach even those without This application.
But there's more. As a bonus, this update also features a customization measure for the app.Thus, when entering the menu Settings it is possible to find a color palette to give the desired shade to the overall look of the application. A detail to appreciate for users who are more concerned with design.
In short, a groundbreaking update that may well change the way this social network works, getting more use now that it also offers direct messaging , private and free to contact any user or contact. The version 2.0 of Vine that brings all these new features is now available on both Google Play and at App Store for free
