New features will be added to the social network to make it easier for users to discover and watch videos. The video feed is similar to TikTok.
Users will be able to click on a video in their feed in the near future. Once you've finished watching the video, you'll be able to scroll up to see more. It is similar to the browsing experience on TikTok. You can exit the viewer by clicking on the back arrow.
The new viewer is designed to make it easier for users to find engaging videos. The social network didn't say when the viewer would be available on the phone.
A new video carousel is going to be added to the Explore tab. The app thinks you would be interested in the videos in the newVideos for you category.

The experiment with a TikTok-like video feed began in December of 2011. The entire Explore page was turned into a video feed. The Explore page isn't going to be replaced with a TikTok-like feed.
The company's approach to a TikTok-like feed can be seen as somewhat acceptable, even though it isn't directly forcing it onto users. People who like scrollable video feeds can access the immersive view if they like, and users who don't like a video feed can choose to not open the viewer.
The introduction of a copycat feature from another platform is not something that many people like. A few months ago, it was forced to walk back it's TikTok-like full-screen home feed due to huge backlash from users. It is possible that there is a desire to avoid a similar situation, which is why it is adding a more controllable experience when it comes to scrolling video feeds.
Twitter is the latest platform to test a TikTok copycat feature
