Instagram has announced Edits, a new mobile-focused video editing platform set to launch in February. The app arrives as TikTok and CapCut face regulatory challenges in the U.S., positioning Instagram as a stronger competitor in the video creation market.
Instagram has introduced Edits, a new video editing platform aimed at mobile users, offering a comprehensive set of tools for content creation.
Instagram president Adam Mosseri announced the platform in a video on social media, stating that the company’s goal is to provide innovative video tools not only for Instagram but also for other platforms.
The app is currently available for pre-registration and is set for an official launch in February, with the App Store listing a release date of 13 March.
The launch comes amid challenges faced by TikTok and CapCut, both owned by China’s ByteDance, in the United States. TikTok was recently temporarily banned over national security concerns, intensifying competition in the video app market.
President-elect Donald Trump has expressed willingness to extend restrictions on TikTok unless its U.S. operations shift further towards American investors.
