Twitter on Thursday has announced the rollout of its updated 'immersive media viewer' for its app that resembles the video scrolling aspect of TikTok, where users have access to seemingly perpetual trail of video contents.

The said rollout begins with iOS users in the next few days while the video carousel on the Explore tab is currently available for iOS and Android users (using Twitter in English) in 'select countries'.
