TikTok has been banned in the U.S. Due to the ban, ByteDance’s video editing app CapCut was also removed from Apple’s App Store and the Google Play Store. Meta, taking it as an opportunity, launched a video editing app called Edits.
Instagram head Adam Mosseri took to Threads to announce the launch.
“Today we’re announcing a new app called ‘Edits,’ for those of you who are passionate about making videos on your phone. There’s a lot going on right now, but no matter what happens, it’s our job to provide the best possible tools for creators,” he mentioned.
Further, he wrote, “Edits is more than a video editing app; it’s a full suite of creative tools. There will be a dedicated tab for inspiration, another to keep track of any early ideas you might have, a much higher quality camera, which I used to record this video, all the editing tools you’d expect, the ability to share drafts with friends and other creators, and, if you decide to share your videos on Instagram, powerful insights on how those videos do.”
