Facebook comes up with its own TikTok/Vine clone, now out on iOS and Android in the US
Among other things, Facebook is known as regularly paying homage to its competition by imitating and outright copying essential features: just see how Instagram was turned into a blatant copy of Snapchat.
Of course, it's hard to fault Facebook for Lasso - TikTok's popularity exceeds 500 million monthly active users, which is a very enticing niche nonetheless. However, Lasso's arrival might be too little, too late - its US-exclusive at the moment, which would certainly hinder its potential for a rapid expansion. Still, it seems to be garnering modestly-positive feedback on both app stores it's currently available on, hinting that it could attract a relatively small, but loyal following.
