Twitter has now announced their video sharing app Vine will be shutting down "in the coming months." While the website will be sticking around, Twitter says that the services mobile apps will be discontinued.
Nothing is happening to the apps, website or your Vines today. We value you, your Vines, and are going to do this the right way. You'll be able to access and download your Vines. We'll be keeping the website online because we think it's important to still be able to watch all the incredible Vines that have been made. You will be notified before we make any changes to the app or website.
Although Vine never supported BlackBerry 10, Whine was available for BlackBerry 10 users and of course, anyone using BlackBerry's Android devices had access to Vine as well. As noted, the website will be kept online with no hard timeline set as of yet when the apps will be officially discontinued. Will you miss Vine? Did you ever even use it to begin with? Let us know in the comments.
