Vine is back. Sort of. Which is a strange sentence to say in 2026. Almost a decade after the popular short-form video app had its doors shuttered by former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, it has been relaunched as Divine, funded by the very same man who killed it.Divine serves as both a new host for Vine's famous six-second videos and an archive of 500,000 videos from OG Vine, which are also hosted on the app. Additionally, one of the stated mission goals with the relaunch of Vine is "freedom from AI slop."

So, on top of the archive of old Vines, new videos must be human-made, and there's even a filter for that specifically in the app.
To enforce the no-AI rule, Divine requires users to either record videos directly within the app or run them through a human verification tool before posting, according to The Guardian. The verification tool is powered by the human rights nonprofit, the Guardian Project.
