In an effort to restore young people who have fled their main platform, Facebook has once again plunged into their handbags and launched a TikTok clone. Lasso, a music-sharing video app in which Facebook has reportedly worked since October, is now available for iOS and Android.
Facebook describes Lasso as an application that "makes it easy for anyone to create and share shorts with fun effects." The app will allow users to follow other creators, search for content using a hashtag, and create new and short videos using a variety of creative tools. Facebook ensures that the app includes a "massive music library," which uses it to give a shot to TikTok, an app that has gained popularity with video sync.
Once Lasso is owned by Facebook, it integrates into the company's ecosystem so you can sign up using an Instagram or Facebook account. The app will need to enter your profile page, photos, and videos. When you make your videos in Lasso, you'll be able to split them directly into Facebook stories. An instagram similar to Instagram's stories will come later this year, writes The Verge. You can get Lasso, starting today.
