The button will be added to the 'navigation bar' at the bottom of the app screen, where buttons such as 'Notifications' and 'DMs' are lined up.

According to a video released by X, the video tab will be inserted between 'Grok' and 'Notifications.'



Tapping this button will display the video, and swiping vertically will play new videos one after another. This type of continuous video playback function is a style commonly seen on short video posting services such as TikTok.



Originally, the X app had a feature that allowed users to tap a posted video and swipe vertically to see another video. This feature will now be added as a dedicated tab.

According to technology media Android Police, when you tap to scroll through the posted videos, landscape, square, and portrait formats are displayed indiscriminately, but when you click on the video tab, only vertical videos are displayed.

The feature of being able to play videos continuously by swiping vertically has become explosively popular due to the influence of TikTok, and many other services such as Instagram and YouTube have followed suit, introducing it one after another. Most recently, it was also introduced on Bluesky.

TikTok's survival in the United States is in jeopardy due to the 'Protecting Americans from Applications Controlled by Foreign Adversaries Act,' also known as the 'TikTok Ban Act,' and American users are looking for alternative apps. However, thanks to the efforts of Donald Trump, who became president, TikTok is temporarily continuing its service.
