Vine is officially shutting down and today is the last day you can download your videos!
In October, the app announced that the four-year-old app would be shutting down and tomorrow the company is officially transitioning to standalone app Vine Camera.
This means that the app will essentially be an extension of its parent company Twitter and although you will still be able to make looping six second videos, they can only be posted directly to Twitter or downloaded to your device.
Existing Vines are also said to be remaining on the app although once Vine Camera goes live, users will not be able to download their old Vines.
In order to download old Vines, head to your profile page on the app and click the “Save Videos” option. Users will have the option to send all of their Vines to their linked email account or download them to your device.
Users with questions about the process can check out Vine’s FAQ.

Twitter is finally taking steps to help stop abusive tweets and online bullying!
After bring criticized for their lack of involvement in curbing online hate speech and abusive language, the social media site revealed the ways they are working to fight it.
The site announced on Tuesday (November 15) that it will now be easier for users to hide content they do not wish to see and to report abusive posts.
“Because Twitter happens in public and in real-time, we’ve had some challenges keeping up with and curbing abusive conduct. We took a step back to reset and take a new approach, find and focus on the most critical needs, and rapidly improve. There are three areas we’re focused on, and happy to announce progress around today: controls, reporting, and enforcement,” the company said in a statement.
Users will now be able to mute keywords, phrases and entire conversations they don’t want to see notifications about in addition to easily reporting abuse that will be handled by a specialized team.
This sounds like a great start to eliminating hateful posts on Twitter!
