XLaunches React With Video on iOS

The tool is meant to turn frequent reposts and quote posts into short video replies to drive more audiovisual interaction on the platform.

Overview

  • X announced Wednesday that React with Video is available to iOS users and is accessed from the repost or quote button so users can record a reply tied to an existing post.
  • The feature offers green-screen, split-screen and picture-in-picture layouts and includes basic editing controls such as pause, resume and a preview before posting.
  • X framed the rollout as a way to convert heavy repost and quote activity into richer responses, citing company figures that about 300 million of roughly 500 million daily posts are quotes or reposts.
  • Android and web support are promised 'próximamente' but X did not give a timeline, and coverage notes the feature mirrors reaction or duet formats popularized by TikTok and later adopted by Instagram and YouTube.
  • The company did not detail moderation, privacy settings or how increased video replies will be managed, a gap that could affect creators and regular users as short video replies increase on the platform.
