Based on Tumblr, “New customers can have this tab enabled by default within the third place, whereas current customers can have it obtainable in the Dashboard Tabs configuration, if not already enabled.”
Once you faucet the Tumblr TV tab, you’ll see a grid of movies and GIFs. When you faucet one, you’ll be able to like, remark, repost, or share it, and once you’re able to see one thing else, you’ll be able to swipe as much as transfer on.
In my very temporary testing, it’s nonetheless very GIF-heavy regardless of the inclusion of video and a swipe interface just like different short-form video apps.
It could possibly be tempting to match Tumblr TV to TikTok, particularly in mild of its recent shutdown, however proper now, it’s extra like scrolling a gaggle textual content stuffed with GIFs.
