Instagram announced a new video creation app Sunday amid legal struggles faced in the U.S. by TikTok, another social media platform with a focus on visual content.

“Today we’re announcing Edits, a brand new app for making videos on your phone,” Instagram head Adam Mosseri said in a video posted on the platform.

CapCut was THE app for editing video. It was made by Bytedance. It was banned along with TikTok.

This is Zuck trying to take over that niche

I wonder if there are any other apps that they can ban for anti-genocide and then steal their product?

Instagram reels are full of unmoderated racist jokes and sexualized content. I hate it, but I am not active enough to diverge it away from that default state
