In a surprising move that has stirred excitement among tech enthusiasts and nostalgic users alike, Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey is backing the launch of diVine, an app aimed at reviving the iconic six-second looping video format made famous by Vine. The new platform not only brings back the beloved content but also introduces a fresh approach to user-generated videos.
Launched on November 13, 2025, diVine offers access to over 100,000 archived Vine videos that were previously thought lost after the original app's shutdown in 2017. This extensive library includes some of the most memorable and creative clips from the early days of short-form video sharing.
What sets diVine apart is its commitment to preserving the authenticity of user-generated content. Unlike many modern platforms, diVine actively blocks uploads generated by artificial intelligence (AI), ensuring that all new videos are created by real users. This decision aligns with Dorsey's vision for a more genuine and human-centric social media experience.
The app also introduces features designed to enhance the user experience, such as improved video quality, enhanced search capabilities, and tools for creators to easily share their content across other platforms. These enhancements aim to make diVine not just a nostalgic trip down memory lane but a vibrant community where users can continue to create and enjoy short-form videos.
With its backing from Jack Dorsey through his nonprofit "and Other Stuff," diVine is positioned as more than just a revival of Vine—it's an evolution. The app seeks to capture the essence of what made Vine special while addressing some of the challenges that plagued its predecessor, such as user engagement and content quality.
As users flock to try out the new platform, there are high hopes for diVine to not only recapture the magic of Vine but also set a new standard in short-form video sharing. Whether it will succeed in this ambitious goal remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: with Jack Dorsey at the helm and a dedicated community of creators and fans behind it, diVine has already made its mark on the tech landscape.
