The latest development by Pinterest allows you to reply to
comments via videos. It is the latest social media platform that has made this
option possible.
To do so, users have to use the firm’s Idea Pins feature. This
was launched earlier this year for creators to record and edit videos with up
to 20 pages of contents via the use of tools such as voiceover recording,
background music, transitions and other interactive elements. Now, when users
find a comment they want to respond to, they just have to select the three dots
menu and click “reply with an Idea Pin”. From there, they can choose to either
film a new video or reply with an existing one.
While announcing this feature, the firm advanced that they wanted to “spare
you and your thumbs from the long, novel-text replies because some things are
simply better when shown”. Moreover, it offers more ways for users to engage
with their community.
A few days before this launch, Instagram introduced a similar tool. It rolls
out a “Reels Visual Replies” feature that lets users reply to comments
on posts with Reels. This idea was first made popular by TikTok who
introduced it last year. It became so popular that other social media platforms
have decided to follow the same route.
