Elon Musk’s X has launched a dedicated video tab for US users, a day after TikTok faced a nationwide ban.
X has launched a new video tab for US users after TikTok was banned.
Elon Musk’s micro-blogging app – formerly Twitter – introduced the new feature on Monday (20.01.25), describing it as an “immersive new home for videos”.
It means those looking for video content only can go straight to the dedicated tab like a feed on TikTok or Instagram’s Reels.
Tech companies are making the most of video since TikTok was banned in America on Sunday (19.01.25) after failing to secure a non-Chinese buyer.
The Chinese-owned app may not be gone forever in the US, as Donald Trump is expected to issue an executive order on Monday (20.01.25), the day of his inauguration, that would give ByteDance more to time to find a buyer.
Trump still wants TikTok to have 50 per cent ownership in America, but he insists there is “no choice” but to “save” the app.
The service was restored in the US following the ban.
