Based on Tumblr, “New customers can have this tab enabled by default within the third place, whereas present customers can have it obtainable in the Dashboard Tabs configuration, if not already enabled.”
Whenever you faucet the Tumblr TV tab, you’ll see a grid of movies and GIFs. When you faucet one, you may like, remark, repost, or share it, and if you’re able to see one thing else, you may swipe as much as transfer on.
In my very transient testing, it’s nonetheless very GIF-heavy regardless of the inclusion of video and a swipe interface just like different short-form video apps.
It may very well be tempting to check Tumblr TV to TikTok, particularly in gentle of its current shutdown, however proper now, it’s extra like scrolling a gaggle textual content stuffed with GIFs.
