Hello, my fellow tech enthusiasts! It’s your funny friend Nuked here, ready to dive into the latest and greatest in the tech world. Let’s jump right into it!

After a decade of anticipation, Tumblr has finally unveiled its experimental GIF feed, now known as Tumblr TV! This exciting new feature makes its debut as a tab at the top of the app, as announced in a quick update shared by TechCrunch.

Tumblr TV first appeared way back in 2015 as a tool for finding GIFs, but it has now evolved to include video content too. According to Tumblr’s notes, new users will find this tab conveniently placed in the third position by default. Existing users can enable it through their Dashboard Tabs configuration if it’s not already activated.

When you click on the Tumblr TV tab, you’ll be greeted with a delightful grid of videos and GIFs. Once you select one, you can like it, comment on it, repost it, or share it with your friends! And when you’re ready for something new, just swipe up to keep the fun going.

In my brief exploration of this feature, I noticed it still leans heavily on GIFs despite incorporating videos and a swipe interface reminiscent of other short-form video platforms. While it might be tempting to draw comparisons to TikTok—especially after its recent shutdown—right now, Tumblr TV feels more like scrolling through a lively group chat filled with GIFs!

So there you have it! Tumblr TV is here to bring a splash of animated fun back into our lives. Buckle up and get ready to GIF and groove!
