Naughty Vine’s Front-Facing Camera Makes Selfies a Lot Easier

Vine, the photo/video sharing app from Twitter, gained popularity especially after users discovered how easy it was to share and discover naughty photos via mobile devices.  And with the latest update, Vine now has new features to make the app more fun (and naughty) for users.

Jack Dorsey, the  creator, co-founder, and Chairman of Twitter, tweeted, “Vine now has a front-facing camera and you can mention people! Thanks Dom Hofmann and team.https://vine.co/v/bx9xuwgAnqF

Yup, you read that right.  Vine now supports the use of your device’s front camera which will make it easier to take selfies, or Velfies, as some have come to call those self-loving shots.  You can use your front and back cameras interchangeably while shooting your 6-second Vine video.

Vine has also added the @ feature, which means you can mention or tag anyone in your Vine post.  Great way to spread pervy content.

What these features mean is more flexibility and freedom for Vine users but it also paves a way for a more naughty Vine experience.  See here for a list of naughty Vine alternatives.
