First in in line, is the ability to now watch Vines from an account in any order. All you have to do is tap on the icon next to Posts and choose your order. Newest, Oldest, or Popular.

Recently Vine users got a really cool feature where the platform actually curates a feed of content for you, and a little before that, a feature to “swipe left” on Vine as well.
