While Bluesky added a TikTok mode to take advantage of the current instability, Vine might do one better: a full-on comeback!

Even before Oreo won the Super Bowl with its famous “Dunk in the Dark” tweet in 2013, social media played a significant role in the Big Game. Today, however, the social media landscape is more in flux than ever: TikTok’s future is uncertain, some X users are migrating to Bluesky and lesser-known platforms are scrambling for attention.

Bluesky is not the only app that could serve as a destination for TikTok users. Elon Musk says that X (formerly Twitter) is "looking into" bringing Vine back. X (then Twitter) purchased Vine in 2012. Back then, Vine did not even have an iOS app. Vine remained active until 2017, when it was shut down.

X and BlueSky are looking to capitalize on the TikTok fiasco by rolling out their own form of vertical, swipeable video feeds on both apps.

With TikTok’s future in limbo, rivals X (formerly Twitter) and Bluesky have introduced vertical video feeds similar to those popularized by the China-based platform.

With a TikTok ban coming soon, what are the alternatives? Here are 5 similar apps to consider, along with the pros and cons of each.

If TikTok bites the dust (as it is expected to do on Sunday ), billionaire Mark Cuban says he’d be open to financing an alternative video-sharing platform that is built off the protocol developed by microblogging site Bluesky.

Business owners who rely on social media for sales say navigating the current environment of uncertainty around key social media platforms is difficult.

Instagram recently announced CapCut video editing rival Edits, and now X (formerly Twitter) and Bluesky are both rolling out vertical video feeds. "An immersive new home for videos is rolling out to users in the U.S. today," posted X's official account on Sunday.

Bluesky also noted that developers are working on alternatives for TikTok using the AT Protocol, or Authenticated Transfer Protocol, the decentralized protocol behind the social media service. These include upcoming apps such as Tik.Blue, Skylight.Social and Bluescreen.Blue.

TikTok’s future in the US hangs in the balance after President Donald Trump signed an executive order granting it a 75-day reprieve following its potential shutdown. Rivals, including Bluesky, have accelerated their efforts to fill the void.
