Reddit’s Latest Update Takes a Page from TikTok and Instagram, Redefining User Experience

The Watch option is an intriguing addition since it allows for a comparable video experience to sites like TikTok and Instagram. Users may upvote, downvote, comment, and share videos by swiping up to view content. It’s unclear if the films are only made by the community you’re in, or whether Reddit believes you’ll love videos from other groups.

On top of that, the mobile app is being redesigned with a new UI that will “make it simpler for consumers to identify relevant information and contribute to communities faster,” according to the business. It also hinted at a “updated web platform to bring fast and reliable experiences to everyone worldwide, new upgrades to our video player to allow redditors to easily join in discussions while watching, chat refinements, new shop updates, and more.”
