Pinterest is known as a social media platform where you can find pictures, photos, and gifs that fit the concept you want, as well as some short videos. The company released a statement today. Dec announced that it will add a feature to the main page that will allow you to navigate between videos or a set of photos.
With this innovation, the platform will be divided into ”Browse” and ”Watch”. Following social media platforms such as TikTok and Instagram, Pinterest has also decided to add this feature to its app. It is quite similar to TikTok in design, especially in terms of scrolling videos up and down.
Pinterest will look like TikTok
In this new stream, users will be able to save their favorite posts and pin them to a virtual clipboard. With this new update, Pinterest will make it possible for users to add multiple images, text, and videos to a Pin. In the upcoming ”Watch” panel, they will be able to share these compilations. In the tab called ”Browse,” there will be photos and videos such as Pinterest’s stable stream.
July April, the firm reached 458 million active users, while a 5 percent drop to 454 million could barely reach. The revamped design promises to allow users to spend more time inside Pinterest. It is also thought that it could be a competitor to another platform of the same format, TikTok.
Is a new social media platform being born?
Pinterest today streamed a virtual event live in Australia, France, Germany, the UK, and the US. New upcoming features were also introduced at the Second Annual Creators Festival, the second Annual Content Creation Festival. This update seems to be in the direction of turning the app into a social platform, rather than just photo and video sharing.
Users will be able to reply to the bottom of a post shared by a content producer with their own content. In doing so, they will have to agree to an agreement that they should be respectful to people and not insult them. And this seems to confirm the words of Annie Ta, who heads the inclusive product on Pinterest, explaining that they consider themselves to be the positive side of the Internet.
Pinterest is also investing $20 million in creators in the United States as part of a new program called Creator Rewards. Creators who meet certain participation requirements will be able to earn money through this platform. Pinterest has also announced that it will be releasing a new series of content called Creator Originals, which includes more than 100 creators in 10 countries.
