Twitter developers are creating a new function in a social network that will allow users to share videos similar to the Snapchat application. This was reported by Bloomberg with reference to sources in the company.
Snapchat users can set a specific time interval during which other people can view photos and videos. After it expires, the file is automatically deleted.
According to the publication, Twitter has already prepared a demo version of the new function, but the company is still thinking about its design. Release date is unknown. In addition, in the coming months the concept of the new function may also change.
The company itself has not yet announced such a development and has not commented on the reports.

The San Francisco-based company has a working demo of the camera-centered product, according to people who have seen it, but the design hasn’t been finalized, nor has the timing of its debut. The tool could change significantly over the next several months, they said, asking not to be identified because the product hasn’t been publicly disclosed. The goal of the new feature is to entice people to share video clips of what’s happening around them. Twitter declined to comment.

Social-media leader Facebook Inc. has famously copied innovations from Snap Inc.’s Snapchat, a mobile app focused on ephemeral photos and videos that’s popular with younger audiences. Twitter’s latest change suggests that Chief Executive Officer Jack Dorsey is taking cues from the newer company as well. Dorsey in the past has praised Snapchat, calling the app "very modern" and admitting that Twitter can be "confusing." The Snapchat app opens first to a camera. With just a swipe, users can see photo and video messages from friends or content from media partners.
The new product targets the relatively cumbersome process of sharing videos or photos on Twitter, whose social network lets people post real-time updates of up to 280 characters and follow others’ feeds. Now, users have to open the Twitter app, click the compose button, find the camera button, take the video or picture, then click on the tweet button. The goal of this product is to reduce the number of steps.
