In response to Tumblr, “New customers could have this tab enabled by default within the third place, whereas current customers could have it obtainable in the Dashboard Tabs configuration, if not already enabled.”
If 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 whenever you’re able to see one thing else, you may swipe as much as transfer on.
In my very temporary testing, it’s nonetheless very GIF-heavy regardless of the inclusion of video and a swipe interface much like different short-form video apps.
It might be tempting to check Tumblr TV to TikTok, particularly in gentle of its recent shutdown, however proper now, it’s extra like scrolling a bunch textual content filled with GIFs.
