Nashville, TN, August 26, 2026 —
A new mobile application named Divine has launched, aiming to resurrect the short-form video experience popularized by the now-defunct Vine platform. Divine is now available on app stores, offering users a space for six-second video content, a format that gained significant traction before Vine was discontinued by Twitter (now X) in 2017.
The creators of Divine have reportedly imported approximately 170,000 archived videos from the original Vine platform into the new app. While Divine is inspired by the original Vine, it is not officially affiliated with the former social media service or its parent company, X.
A key feature of the Divine app is its explicit policy against the use of AI-generated content. This restriction is in place to ensure that all videos shared on the platform originate from human creators.
The return of a platform focused on such brief video content taps into a niche audience that cherished Vine’s unique creative constraints. The app’s availability on major app stores marks its official entry into the competitive social media landscape, offering an alternative for users seeking a specific type of short-form video engagement.
