Twitter bought Vine back in 2012 before closing the app to new submissions in 2016. The company has now found the old video archive, and it plans to bring it back.
Your favorite Vine videos may soon be easier to find. X owner Elon Musk says it has recently found the archive of videos posted to the platform through to 2016, and it plans to restore access for people to be able to view and share clips again.
On social media network X, Musk said, “Btw, we recently found the Vine video archive (thought it had been deleted) and are working on restoring user access, so you can post them if you want.”
Twitter, which Musk bought in 2022, owned Vine from 2012 through to its closure. The app stopped users uploading from late 2016. An archive remained for around two and a half years before being closed in 2019.
