Facebook is set to launch its own version of TikTok next month.
The social media giant recently announced plans to release Instagram Reels, a video platform that lets people create interactive short clips set to music. The app’s functionality sounds a lot like TikTok, which is wildly popular among smartphone-toting teens and young adults.
The Reels app is currently testing in France, Germany, Brazil and India but will hit smartphones in the U. S. in early August, Facebook said.
« The community in our test countries has shown so much creativity in short-form video, and we’ve heard from creators and people around the world that they’re eager to get started as well, » a Facebook spokesperson told USA TODAY via email.
