Based on Tumblr, “New customers may have this tab enabled by default within the third place, whereas present customers may 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’ll be able to like, remark, repost, or share it, and while you’re able to see one thing else, you’ll be able to 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 may very well be tempting to check Tumblr TV to TikTok, particularly in mild of its recent shutdown, however proper now, it’s extra like scrolling a gaggle textual content filled with GIFs.
