Several social media sites are temporarily running to design a TikTok photocopier, as the original platform faces a ban in the U.S. And Facebook would probably have joined the race.
A software engineer discovered that the site owned by Mark Zuckerberg was testing a stream of “short videos” with the TikTok-type upstream scanning option in the main application.
Discovery images shared on Twitter show the most sensitive clips organized as Facebook Story and a one-minute screenshot shows a “Swipe Up” feature to watch the next video.
Although the short videos are a test, Facebook has added TikTok videos to Instagram, called Reels.
Roneet Michael, the show’s engineer, told DailyMail.com: “The short video feature appears in my News Feed. ”
“I can create videos, pause the recording and recover it at any time with a single hand. There is also an option to upload music.
“The length of the video I can create is 26 seconds. You can swipe up to watch the video below.”
