The social media micro-blogging platform - which officially launched in February 2023 as a decentralised service and has been compared to X, formerly Twitter - is set to get a "major app update" that will enable fans to use clips.

An announcement on the app read: "Now might be a good time to announce that our next major app update will have video.

"More details soon!"

Bluesky has been steadily adding more features after dropping its invite-only signup 12 months after its release.

In May, users got direct messaging.

In a blog post, the company said: "You can now send direct messages (DMs) to people on Bluesky! Say hi to a friend, colleague, or a crush.

"These are private one-to-one messages directly within the Bluesky app.

"By default, your permissions allow anyone you follow to DM you. You can change these settings to allow no one or anyone to message you."

Bluesky teased "images and other forms of media", as well as end-to-end encryption, group DMs and improvement to "anti-harassment and safety tooling".
