Well, the company seems to be getting the idea, and just the other day introduced a few improvements to its UI. Let’s have a look.

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. Then there is the ability for users to edit their caption on a Vine for a limited time-period after posting. Just tap the three dots menu “..” and edit.

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.
